You need to do all of this while maintaining your clan’s happiness, which can be done by quickly treating the sick and injured, expanding your territory, and increasing the number of warriors you have.Īt the moment, Northgard features a single player option, letting players become familiar with the controls and paths to victory while battling against AI enemies, although campaign and multiplayer options will be arriving at a later date, along with more clans. Stone is valuable for upgrading buildings, while Iron – the rarer of the two – is a valuable resource for upgrading weapons. Both Iron and Stone deposits have limited quantities, and once the deposit is emptied no more can be harvested. These can be found in deposits across the map, and can be extracted by placing a miner in the area. Other resources that are valuable yet slightly less necessary for survival are Iron and Stone. Krowns are also a precious resource, needed for building upkeep and recruiting more warriors, and can be earned by exploring new areas, ruins scattered throughout the map, or through trading resources with another clan. Players will want a healthy supply of these items in order to progress.
However, some winters are harsher than others, draining your resources more quickly, and natural disasters like earthquakes can damage multiple buildings at a time, requiring wood for repairs. Food production decreases in the winter, while wood use increases. Resource management is a huge factor in survival and success, and the circumstances are constantly changes. At the start, there was plenty of destroying and replacing buildings in order to maximize the amount of resources I could bring in at any given time. Some areas include forests, which will increase the amount of wood you can harvest, while some feature fish, deer, or fertile land, where you can fish, hunt, or build fields, respectively. However, there are limited spaces for placing buildings in each territory. Each new area needs to be colonized with food in order to make it part of your territory, and colonizing territories adds to your fame. Some areas are inhabited by enemies – wolves, monsters, or rival clans – and you’ll need warriors in order to take those areas. A scout is necessary in order to discover new territories that you can claim, while a woodcutter is required in order to produce more wood for day-to-day survival and new houses are integral to growing your clan.
At the start of the game there are limited resources available, meaning there are limited buildings that can be placed. By default, villagers will automatically begin collecting food once they join your clan until they are assigned to a different building. The maps change with every new playthrough, and several maps include special locations that, if you achieve certain tasks, will grant you instant victory.Įach player will begin with a single territory and a Town Hall building that spawns new villagers.
There are four main paths to victory: Domination, which is achieved by destroying the other players’ Town Hall buildings Fame, which comes from raising your Fame to the “King” title Trade, which is achieved by collecting a large amount of krowns, having four active merchants, and having 1000 krowns in stock and Wisdom, which is achieved by receiving blessings from four gods and having four active loremasters. Each clan has unique starting bonuses and fame bonuses (bonuses that are unlocked as your fame increases), along with unique lore updates. At PAX East 2017, the team showcased the fourth clan, which will be entering Early Access soon – the Raven Clan. In Northgard‘s current state, players will assume the role of one of three different viking clans – the Clan of the Wolf, the Clan of the Stag, and the Clan of the Goat – that have arrived on a new continent waiting to be explored.
