It's a special skill from the viking race. I found this on the HP of the game:
Quote:
Also all Viking units have special skill - Knowledge of the Runes. Before you start the battle all Vikings receive three runes, 1 piece of each type - attack, defense, and luck. At the beginning of the turn each Viking uses 1 rune and gets appropriate bonuses and the number of runes reduces. The player chooses what rune to use before the turn of each unit. You can also pass the choice of runes to the senior Valkyrie. Valkyries activate runes according to personal preferences. The effect of the rune lasts up to the next round. The number runes that the warrior can store can be increased by special skill of the hero.
•Rune of Attack: creature receives + 20% to attack and the chance of critical hit.
•Rune of Defense: creature gets + 20% to defense and health.
•Rune of Luck: the creature has a 10% chance of second turn during the attacks

I'm wondering if the player will be able to choose at the beginning of each combat round for each of his units, if he wants to use a rune or if he has to use them in the three first rounds of a battle?!
