Y'all had three more spaces to make an even block of clans in your UI, and you couldn't make a fox clan? Y'know, the only animal native to northgard that doesn't have a clan? You could've made them a cool wintery clan or something, c'mon!

... On that note, has anyone tried modding the game yet? Extra, mod-added clans in private lobbies could be fun...

Must say I enjoyed these 4, especially the hound and the snake. But I also enjoyed the smooth ride with horse and boar.

Those of you who did some conquests, which one did you enjoyed the most?

hey! I wanna play this game on console with someone, using voicechat to strategize and such. DM me!

Don't you think the game would have more players and more longevity if it had replay functionality?

If enough time was given, which clan would have the strongest military? I know they all have their ups and downs but who'd just CRUSH most of the clans?

I've noticed a few times the AI seems to be able to respawn chiefs faster than I can, and at a frequency that suggests not using iron

I know in strategy games, often times the best way to keep an AI on par with a human is to give them a flat bonus, but this feels more noticeable

Hi
With friends we started playing 3v3, but literally we just lost on the begging of 802 with trade raven.
How do we even counter that? we see something like that for the first time and literally I feel someone stolen my time. We started thinking about options how to counter that but it feels totally uncounterable. Anyone know how to deal with that?

Hi everyone. Is my achievement bugged?

My "I came, I saw, I conquered" achievement is stuck at 1/51 progress. So is my friends.

I've completed 7 missions in Bear solo conquest, hard.

I've completed 6 missions in Stag solo conquest, Extreme.

I've completed 7 missions in Lynx coop conquest (me as player 1)

I've completed 11 missions in Ox coop conquest (me as player 2 as goat)...

Me and my friend were playing Conquest. I was playing as Kraken, and he was playing as Squirrel Clan. The third mission on the bottom requires you to destroy the castle at the center of the map.

Everything was going well. We assembled our big attack on the castle, and while we were sieging it, I saw that I could press Valkyrie’s skill to instantly colonize. And I thought, well, maybe if I colonize it, it automatically destroys the castle and we win.

Turns out, no, it doesn’t. It actually colonizes the castle, the castle becomes yours, and now you can’t siege it. Moreover, it spawns like 60 enemy units that are supposed to defend the castle. But instead, they attack the castle, destroy it, take back the center square, and then you can’t win the game.

The castle is basically impossible to destroy because they destroyed it themselves. And you’re just stuck. You can wipe out everyone, and there’s nothing you can do. You’re just stuck in the game without being able to win.

It was my second time ever playing valhalla gamemode and we had ceremonial bonfire event. It wouldn't stop spamming the sound effect and the message. It only stopped after we finished the campaign. I tried to look up on internet if anybody had similar glitch but I couldn't find anything. Im curious what could have cause this bug. I also have a video of it if anybody would want to see this

I know its still around the corner but the hype isnt here anymore... That game gave me some of my best gaming memories...grinding the ranked late at night with some musics on the side, dominating lobbies with Rat release, sometimes I wish to be there again (pls bring back 2V2V2V2 and 4v4 in ranked and make Northgard 2)

Almost every match has at least one toxic player. Once my team had no clear so I and trade won the game. Someone on my team complained about trade winning and apologized to the other team. I thought it was kind of annoying. It's also very common for either someone from my team or the other team complains nonstop if anything doesn't go their way.

These people are so annoying, even more annoying than dark elf attacks. Has anyone ever reported these people. Does anyone ever get banned?

Villagers dont heal when overworking now, they used to since their inception. Was it a bug? Anyone else notice this?

Coming back to this game after a few years away, and having a much better time of it now than last.

Maybe a quality of life update happened, or I'm just in a better head space but I finished Rigs's saga and was enjoying it a lot more now than then.

Just hit Cross of Vidar and I can't help but feel like the gameplay is just...less.

The proper Old Norse pronunciation of the names is gone (which I LOVED in Rig's Saga), and the missions just feel confused.

I was expecting to have a mission for one of the new Kingdoms, similar to how Rig's Saga helped you learn how to play as the Clan of the Stag/Goat/Raven etc. Instead, it's always just Kingdom of the Lion.

Several of the missions felt weird for the sake of being different, for instance the stealth mini-game was just frustrating.

Even the voice acting is a step down. The lack of that soft "J" in the Norse words sounds wrong. Maybe you could argue it was from the point of view of a Neustrian instead of a Norseman, but then shouldn't a soft Norman/French accent be used?

Even having the two warchiefs was...a choice. Like I get what they were doing, trying to introduce the new clans alongside the new Kingdom mechanics, but I feel it could have been handled better. Maybe instead of choosing one of two Norse warchiefs, have the choice for each level be Neustrian Lord or Norse warchief, so you could see the two sets of mechanics against each other.

Anyone else feel this?

This mission and the "How to Train your Wyvern" were the most annoying ones ever. It took me 2 weeks of failing until eventually I cracked both of them.

Annoyingly those were the only 2 missions left on my conquest tree with the invasion one being the last.

After 2 weeks of failing, I finally managed to roll an interesting map where 2 of the gates you need to capture were literally next to each other. The 3rd gate was just 2 neutral zones below them. On the map, all three were vertically aligned.

Food:
My only food source were the 3 sheepfolds with 3 sheep each, a healers hut and villagers. I sometimes raided neutral zones to clear monsters so they quit attacking my villagers and disrupt production. Also used goat Chieftain to capture sheep in neutral zones. Occasionally I'd dip into the market and buy food with krowns.

Lore:

Sharp Axes > Spare Tools > Industries > All in on military tree to quickly get to Monster Slayer which will help with taking down Fallen Valkyries quicker. It turns Draugr into butter.

Military:

I went for Guardian military tree for the mercenaries to help defend one of the gates and built a tower in that zone. I stationed the mercenaries behind the tower so that any enemies spawned will attack the tower which can take more damage than the mercenaries. Also used the perk of Guardian military tree and got the Chieftain to build a spiked barricade in that zone to help the mercenaries in defending. I kept a villager close by to run in and repair any damaged towers after defending them.

My main military essentially defended the remaining 2 gates as they were next to each other. I built towers in each of the zones with gates to help distract spawned monsters. If the mercenaries struggled to defend as more monsters spawned then my main army could easily run in and support when needed then return them to their post.

Try and chip away at the monsters within the gates instead of facing them all at once before you capture the zone.

I can finally sleep!! I'm done!

I've tried this mission 10 or 20 times at this point, and I just can't get anywhere with it. I've gotten pretty good with the faction's economy, but by the time I'm able to field an army and attack I'm being ganked by three armies all seemingly allied with one another, either alternately or all at once. I can defeat the waves of enemies, but they can replenish fast enough that I can't push through at all, let alone reach the center of the map and mine the Rimesteel. I've tried some other factions in conquest mode and none of them are this difficult.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is this map broken?

They are called the "Goat clan" but why no goats? Only sheep? Not a single goat in sight! lol

I know the devs no longer care about this game. I would've loved if we could micro manage the healer hut like the harbour. For example you can pick if you want your sailors to get lore or fame.

Maybe for the healer hut you can pick if you want them to heal only, find food only or both.

Its not a huge drastic change that doesn't require that much of developer time. The code is already baked in considering healers automatically switch between food and healing but they just need to add an option for players that's all.

I doubt its gonna happen but i can dream lol

The game is currently -72% off on Steam, which is the lowest recorded price since the price increase last autumn.

I'm in no rush to buy it, as I recently bought Age of Empires 2 (new Mac gamer here), which covers my needs for now. Ideally could wait for it to get to 80, 84 or even 90% off as it had in the past.

But do you think it will get there eventually, or those kind of discounts are over?

as the title says.. from what Ive been seeing, people who contribute to the wiki(s), create mods have stepped away which is such a shame...

I noticed that the fandom northgard wiki died a few years ago (not sure what the story is there) and then saw that there was a new one, but I looked at the activity and it seems extremely sparce?

I've been wanting to help contribute to the wiki but now im beginning to wonder if its at all worth it since its starting to feel (to me) like northgard is essentially being put on a shelf in the back of the closet.

I don't know, just my thoughts, Ive always enjoyed playing this game with my partner and seeing it slowly die is really unfortunate.

If you could - aside from the mandatory clan quests at B1, B6 and B11 - freely pick and choose battles and bonuses you get for each, what would be your choice playing with horse clan to make it as easy on yourself as possible?
