What is Valheim about?
Slain in battle, a Viking warrior is carried to Valheim, the mysterious tenth world of Norse mythology. Long ago, Odin banished his ancient enemies to this realm, where they grew in strength and became a threat once again. Tasked with proving their worth to the Allfather, the warrior must bring order to Valheim by hunting down the Forsaken - powerful beings that rule over the world's hostile lands. The journey begins in the peaceful Meadows and leads through dark forests, deadly swamps, frozen mountains, vast plains, mist-shrouded lands, the scorched Ashlands, and ultimately the frozen reaches of the Deep North. To survive, the warrior must explore unknown lands, gather resources, build settlements, craft increasingly powerful weapons and armour, and sail across dangerous seas. With each Forsaken defeated, new paths and challenges are revealed, bringing the warrior closer to completing Odin's task and proving themselves worthy of Valhalla.






Should I stream Valheim on Twitch?
5/100 · Closed off· 13 viewers per streamer on paperProbably not. Valheim has 198 streamers live, so you would open around #43 of 199 — far enough down the category that almost nobody browsing it would scroll to you, however many viewers it has.
About 1,155 of the 1,610 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 10 each if you split it with the 116 other English streams below them. You would start around #43, too far down for anyone browsing to find you.
Only 1,610 of the 2,471 viewers here (65%) are watching in English. 118 of the 198 live streams are in English.
Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.
This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.
