2K Games and Firaxis have announced plans to launch two new downloadable content packs for Civilization V next Tuesday, May 3.
Available from "select digital distribution partners", the 'Civilization and Scenario Pack: Denmark - The Vikings' and 'Explorers Map Pack' will set you back £2.99 apiece.
Here are the official DLC details:
The Denmark Civilization and Scenario Pack brings you both the Denmark Civilization and the new Scenario, 1066: Year of Viking Destiny, to further enhance your Civilization V experience. Rule the world as Harald Bluetooth, with your powerful Berserker warriors and Ski Infantry!
Scenario Description:
In 1066: Year of Viking Destiny, the throne of England is up for grabs. Take the role of one of four leaders and seize control of the British Isles! Special rules for the scenario ensure that the only way to win is by the cunning use of force. Can you complete the Domesday Book and secure legal rule before your rivals? Use unique units for each faction in the scenario to claim the throne and stand the test of time!
Denmark Ruler - Harald Bluetooth:
Harald Bluetooth (920 - 986 AD) was King of Denmark for nearly 30 years. During his reign, he united the earls of Denmark and Norway and defended his people from invasion from Sweden and Germany. Today he is viewed as a just and wise king of Denmark.
Explorers Map Pack
Ten fantastic single-player maps make up this Civilization V DLC pack designed by Firaxis Games. Five of the maps are based on real-world locations, chosen for their historical interest and gameplay possibilities. The remaining five are scripted map environments. These maps will change from game to game, but will focus on an exciting gameplay theme. From the arid Sandstorm to the lush Amazon, and from the Caribbean to the Bering Strait, these maps will give skillful Civilization V players new lands to conquer!

LMAO at Denmark having Ski Infantry. That's the allmighty Norwegians fighting in the mountains! This is going to be cool, can't wait to play as Vikings. Should have had one of the Norwegian kings instead though.
Yes, I'm Norwegian

I see you conveniently forgot the part that mentions how Harald Bluetooth (Blåtand) united "the earls of Denmark and Norway". Just in case you forgot, my Norwegian brother, we Danes ruled Norway for centuries. Norway was part of the kingdom of Denmark.
You are right about the ski troops though - those would be far more at home in Norway.
