⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Fresh take on Valheim's gameplay—hire a squad instead of doing everything solo.
Two distinct roles: combat and labor, so it fits both fighters and builders.
Active development (last updated December 2025) and a solid download count (4,643).

👎 Cons

Only 96 endorsements—still a niche mod, so expect occasional rough edges.
No mention of multiplayer compatibility—could cause issues on shared servers.
No details on balance or cost scaling—might be too easy or too grindy.
