When at sea, you will have to deal with incoming shots and predators. You can shoot at them to destroy them, while rowing forward as fast as possible to reach your destination. Note: After an area is discovered, you can tap its name to travel there an no longer have to row across. The rowing mini game earns experience for your Vikings, based on the distance traveled. Consider occasionally starting at the first mission and rowing all the way to the last available mission to earn lots of experience. Make sure to refill your shots when they are low and use the auto fire if desired.
