In Saga, you can
choose a Hero of the Viking Age to lead your warband. Heroes of the Viking Age
are special characters with names and special characteristics which express his
particular traits and personality.
Saga is a
small-scale game. It has a 1:1 figure scale, which means that one figure
represents one fighting man. So really, there's no reason why they shouldn't
have individual identities too. Now I am not advocating special rules for
individual characters here - if you want that there are other rules than Saga
that would do the job better - but there's nothing to stop you giving them
names.
With this in mind, I
have created a handy spreadsheet that does just that. At the moment, it's only
available for Vikings (hence the title of this post) but you never know, if
anyone's interested and if I find myself with sufficient spare time, I might expand
it for other factions as well.
The names shown for
the men in my earlier post about Egil's Band were generated using this spreadsheet.
Not that anyone
would need one, but the spreadsheet will also work as a handy list checker for
your Saga Viking faction. Just bear in mind that the list checker will only
handle Warbands with 8 or fewer units, and doesn't cater for Swords for Hire,
though it does allow for Heroes of the Viking Age that can lead a Viking
warband, as well as options for a Priest and a Wandering Bard.
Please feel free to
download and use as much as you like, and let me know what you think. Enjoy!
