How do you get the sparkling pillar on the mini clip game viking defense?

Just make sure that you aim the airstrike into a large bunch of units. Sometimes it will grant you the tower if you destroy 4 units at once, just like it says in the requirements, but often it takes 5-6 or more. Save up the airstrikes and only use it when there are 8 or more units coming in and you shuld unlock the tower sooner or later.

What was significant about the viking raid in 865?

The year 865 heralded disaster for Anglo-Saxon England. It was the year of full scale invasion by the Great Army of the Danes. The Anglo Saxon Chronicle said that the Danes took winter quarters in East Anglia. "And the same year a great raiding army came to the land of the English and took winter quarters in East Anglia and were provided with horses there, and they made peace with them".

According to Aethelweard writing 100 years later, their leader was Igwar or Ivar, one of the sons of Ragnar Lothbrok. Ragnar had two sons involved in these raids. One was called Ubba, and the other was known as Ivar the Boneless. The chronicle implies that King Edmund paid them off in money and supplies to keep the peace in East Anglia.

What does Viking mean?

Viking, as strictly Scandinavian pirate, 1807, vikingr; modern spelling attested from 1840. The word is a historical revival; it was not used in Middle English, but it was revived from Old Norse vikingr, which usually is explained as propound "one who came from the fjords," from vik "creek, inlet" (Old English wic, Middle High German wich "bay," and second element in Reykjavik). But Old English wicing and Old Frisian wizing are almost 300 years older, and probably derive from wic "village, camp" (temporary camps were a feature of the Viking raids), related to Latinate vicus"village, habitation" The connection between the Old Norse and Old English words is still much debated. The period of Viking activity was roughly 8th cent. to 11th cent. In the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the raiding armies generally were referred to as þa Deniscan "the Danes," while those who settled in England were identified by their place of settlement.

In cryptogram you dont get which letters would go whereim not asking for specifics because you know that each puzzle is differentbut you dont know what the order for letters isdoes it go in order or b?

Cryptograms are simple substitution codes where any letter can stand for any other, but must always stand for the same letter within the given cryptogram. There are 4.0329146112660565e+26, or 403,291,461,126,605,650,000,000,000, which is more than 403 million billion billion substitution combinations. No wonder you have trouble!

To solve cryptograms, you must first recognize patterns in English. For example, there are only two 1 letter words in English, A and I. The word THE is the most common 3 letter word in the English language. Other examples include:

THAT is usually easy to spot.

PEOPLE is frequently used in cryptos. Another word with that same letter pattern is PROPER. 1st and 4th letters, and 2nd and 6th letters the same. There may be others.

If you are doing the cryptoquips in American newspapers, they often begin with IF, WHEN OR WHAT. They usually have a comma followed closely by MIGHT, SUPPOSE, COULD or WOULD.

There are many other patterns and clues. For more information, GOOGLE CRYPTOGRAM "HOW TO".

What viking traditions are still being followed today?

The Vikings were farmers, fishermen, hunters and soldiers, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, but not like any other culture, more close! Vikings would often gather together to go drinking and celebrate/partying in the long house, around the long table infront of the fire, drinking, talking, laughing, be friends and enemies but all in a good way, (most of the time). But they lived a simple, yet complex life.

Danish people still gather around, often, around a long table in a hall, drinking, talking, brawling etc. and we do it alot. teens as well as adults! We have market places, with shops, huge tents where we gather round with large trinkets of beer, talk with each other, laugh with or at each other ;) But we respect each other, we value peace, therefore we often gather round to celebrate or simply just to party to be with each other!

The vikings would fish alot: catching their prey for dinner, lunch etc. they were excellent sailors and seafarers, they would not bow down, or give up because a little resistance like storms or blizzards, wounds or injuries, you get the point. And guess what, Danes still do that today, every Dane, girls or boy, young and old, likes to sail, knows how to sail and to fish. We respect the sea, so that we can tame it!

Being farmers: most Danes have some sort of farm, pigs, chickens, cows, horses etc. crops and so on. We know how to farm, we respect nature, we know the nature, we live "with" the nature, and are peaceful around it, we value it! We only kill what we can eat, and to eat, and we eat it ALL!

Being hunters: Danes still hunt this day today, i myself have got the hunting license, yup, you need that in Denmark. We hunt our pray to be more "one" with the nature, we respect that we shoot to kill, to eat, we value the wild!

Food!! :D Danish food, pork roast with crisps, salmon shrimp on Danish rye bread, the "cold table" where there is all kinds of food, all that you could possibly imagine, we eat alot, but we need it, else we can't be huge lol. :P Also it helps resist the cold.

Crafting and skills: Danes are excellent iron workers, builders, doctors, soldiers, policemen, chefs (some of the best chefs in the world) farmers, fishermen, etc. etc. etc. you name it! We know how to work hard, and to work in every condition, and we do it properly!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, all of this is not the most detailed or precise answer, a little rough around the edges! But what we know today, what we do today, is because of our history, especially the viking age! We are still vikings this day today. Hope this answers your question.

Who are Norse Riders or Vikings?

I'm assuming you are relating to the Saxons, who are often called Vikings. They were a people, originating in the Jutland, who often raided coastal towns, as well as towns near rivers, during the early medieval period. These raids were primarily concentrated on the British Isles, though there were instances in northern Europe. In addition, a Viking by the name "Erik the Red", should I recall properly, sailed to "Greenland" (present-day Greenland), and there is even archaeological evidence that these people even established villages on the eastern coast of Canada, in Nova Scotia.

What boats did the vikings sail?

Tradition says "longboats". These are usually pictured as having dragon' s head prows (at the front) but there's not a lot of evidence for that.
