Ohoï Vikings!

After weeks gathering your feedback, it is now time to unveil the Trade and Prestige update! We are also waiting for you to comment on the new Miklagard faction which joined the ever-growing Northgard universe!

---

---

A new faction has reached Northgard, through a famous merchant from Miklagard!

Miklagard is a faction outside of the game. To get a Diplomatic Victory, you'll need to send them krowns and get their favours! But be warned, the diplomatic war extend to other clans, and you'll have to spend a lot of your income to reach victory!

To gain influence with Miklagard, you can trade through trading posts and docks with relevant knowledge. Trading will grant strong bonuses but will require active engagement on your end. Miklagard wealth is desired by many, and you'll have to fight for their favours.
Gather the most influence, crush your rivals diplomatically and claim victory!

---

---

This balancing aims at addressing community concerns on those specific clans as well as others. If you would like to read more about it, please check the complete patch notes by using the link below!

Full patch notes

While reviewing your most recent feedback, we noticed a strong demand for deeper rework of the current meta. We plan to get a closer look at the topic during our Annual Survey to fully appreciate how important it is for the community.

---

We hope you'll enjoy this community update!
Rest assured that we'll pay close attention to your comments. A first update should arrive early next week to address any potential new issue! Besides, you won't have to wait long for more info on the next update... ⚔️

Hey vikings!

It's been a while since we've called you in for a close beta. For the next clan, we want you to help us with what's to come! As with the Owl Clan, you will need to fill out a form and join us on Discord, here is all you need to know

---

Unlike the current beta for the Trade and Prestige Community Update, this one will be closed to some players. You'll have access to an early version of the next clan to give us early feedback, just like the public beta branch!


What will be my goal?
A beta tester provides feedback and reports bugs from the current beta build, enabling our team of developers to make necessary adjustments and fix reported issues effectively.

When do you plan on starting the beta?
We plan to start the Beta in the following weeks to give you time for feedback during the rest of the month!

How can I sign up for the closed beta?
Click on the button below and fill the registration form. This will allow us to select participants and notify you if you are chosen

Fill the form

How can I expect to be contacted?
We'll be sure to contact you via mail next week if you are selected!

Thanks to everyone who has signed up, we look forward to telling you more about the new clan. In the meantime, let's get back to the upcoming Trade and Prestige patch. 👀

v3.5.45.40127-public-beta

Ohoï vikings!
It's time for the second week of the public beta. This time, we have updated the trade victory to answer your feedback and added something a lot of you have been waiting for a while...The balancing of multiple clans.

---

We’re happy with the overall direction of the trade-victory rework, but thanks to your feedback we now see it still need some serious adjustments. The victory has been rebalanced to be slower to achieve, and a bit easier to contest. (We’ll keep adjusting the values following new feedback)

[expand type=details]

• Miklagard initial Kröwns pool is composed of [color=#74AF4B]500 > 1000 Kröwns[/color]
• To reach Trade Victory you need to reach [color=#74AF4B]40% > 50% of the Pool[/color]

[/expand]

You’ve also pointed out the rewards for 15% and 25% prestige were either too strong, or not as interesting as they might have been and so they’ve been reworked to hopefully be more balanced and more interesting to most clans and most plays.

[expand type=details]

• 15% Step : Now gives less resources, no longer gives Stone and Iron, but gives 50 Lore and 15 Fame
• 25% Step : No longer send Military Units, but +5 Stone and +5 Iron every 6 Months

[/expand]

---

As you’ve been many to point out and despite previous nerfs, Hounds Clan is still much stronger than other clans, at least in early game. So that’s what we want to target with this new balancing patch, make the clan units weaker in early game to slow down its clearing and scaling capacity, without touching too much at its power later in the game. (But making it arrive at this peak a bit later, as a consequence)

[expand type=details]

• All military units base HP : [color=#C53D3B]65 > 60[/color]
  
• Foxskin
  
  • Initial Move Speed is [color=#C53D3B]reduced slightly[/color]
    
  • Shredding Claws Ability
    
    • Max Speed Reduction [color=#C53D3B]-15% > -10%[/color]
      
    • Max Dmg Increase [color=#C53D3B]+15% > +10%[/color]
• Bearskin
  
  • Initial Defense [color=#C53D3B]11 > 8[/color]
    
  • Def gain for each level [color=#C53D3B]+15% > +25%[/color]
    
    • At level 5 : 17.5 > 16 Def
      
    • At level 7 : 21 > 20 Def
  • Blade Breaker Ability
    
    • Atk Power Reduction [color=#C53D3B]-25% > -20%[/color]
  • Death Deceiver Ability
    
    • Make units invulnerable for [color=#C53D3B]2 sec > 1.5 sec[/color]
• Boarskin
  
  • Initial HP [color=#C53D3B]75 > 60[/color]
  • HP gain for each level [color=#74AF4B]+15% > +25%[/color]
    • At level 5 : 120 = 120
      
    • At level 7 : 140 > 150

[/expand]


Owl is a bit overtuned as well, especially some knowledge, in particular Parasitic Vegetables, so we’re making it a lot less of a powerhouse. In the meantime, Owl, despite some natural advantages for scouting, is almost never used for this in multiplayer settings. To reinforce this we’re adding a scouting bonus with its Fame 200, equivalent to what other clans can achieve by upgrading their scout camp.

[expand type=details]

• Parasitic Vegetables
  
  • Reduce only Food Consumption in the zone
    
  • Reveal resources every [color=#C53D3B]1 > 3 Months[/color]
    
  • [color=#C53D3B]Amount of resources received is capped at a Maximum of 80 Food, 50 Kröwns, and 50 Wood (= 25 Lore)[/color]
• Fame 200
  
  • Increase scouting speed of Norns by [color=#C53D3B]+15%[/color]
    
  • [color=#C53D3B]Increased Lore gain from Shared Knowledge is removed[/color]
• Fame 500
  
  • [color=#C53D3B]Branches effects boosted by relation is removed[/color]

[/expand]


Boar seems to be lacking behind in the current meta, and specific clan features like menders play a very little role in the clan gameplay in multiplayer, so we’re giving them a big boost to hopefully turn this around.

[expand type=details]

• Mender
  
  • Prod [color=#C53D3B]+1 > +1.5 Lore[/color]
• Herbalism
  
  • Prod in zone per Mender [color=#74AF4B]+5% > +7.5%[/color]
    
  • Mender Heal Speed [color=#74AF4B]+20% > +40%[/color]

[/expand]


Since previous nerf to Squirrel meal effect for allies, Squirrel is now less played than other support clans, especially in multiplayer setting. So we’re following your suggestions to make it scale with time to become more impacting later in the game.

[expand type=details]

• Effects of Meal for allies scale from [color=#74AF4B]50% to 100%[/color] with the relationship between the Squirrel and ally clan

[/expand]


Snake Scorched Earth was previously changed to be possible to trigger on the clan’s own territory, this was a mistake, we are reverting it to how it previously worked, possible only in neutral or enemy territory.

[expand type=details]

• [color=#C53D3B]Scorched Earth ability can no longer target ally zones.[/color]

[/expand]


Following previous changes to the Stag clan and to the knowledge Glory of the clan especially, it needs to be readjusted to account for the new retroactive nature of its effects.

[expand type=details]

• Glory of the clan increase all Fame gains by [color=#C53D3B]+30% > +15%[/color]

[/expand]


Minor adjustments following balance feedback

[expand type=details]

• Ox - Torfin Provocation ability cooldown is increased to [color=#C53D3B]3 months > 6 months[/color]
  
• Lynx - Oskoreia ability cooldown is increased to [color=#C53D3B]5 months > 8 months[/color]

[/expand]

---

Since the previous AI rework, some Conquest Battles, especially 1v3 / 2v6 have become much more difficult / frustrating, than they were originally intended to be, so we’re readjusting the numbers of AI opponents as an adjustment, and to avoid some of them feeling tedious to complete in certain settings.

[expand type=details]

• Battles 1v3 and 2v6 have been rebalanced to be 1v2 and 2v4 instead, to adjust the difficulty following changes on the AI.

[/expand]

---

As noted by many solo players, the Bifröst is a mode that is challenging to complete without teammates. This change is a first step in making the challenge more interesting for you.

[expand type=details]

• When playing solo, after surviving each wave you’ll now be able to pick 2 bonuses among 6. (Instead of 1 among 3 previously)

[/expand]

After travelling through the Bifrost, it is time for our vikings to come back home... but they weren't expecting to land in the dangerous land of the Draugrs once again. Will you be able to triumph in Draugrheim?

Here is all you need to know about the event.

Starting now and for until November 7th, we welcome you back to our spooky special event where you will be able to engage in battle in the terrifying Draugrheim biome.

In this temporary game mode, you will have to conquer your fears in the land of the living dead and face some terrible (eight-legged) creatures roaming the land of Northgard."


If you feel like some of these new creatures have more legs than you can tolerate, you can activate an arachnophobia mode in the options menu.


Finish a game of Northgard in the new Draugrheim game mode (if you dare) and earn an exclusive Town Hall skin. You can claim it in Expeditions



The southern kingdoms will also have to face the danger of Draugrheim! You will be able to claim their sinister town hall as well!

Happy spooky season to all of you!
We hope you'll enjoy some Draugrheim for this season, we know some had already asked for it to be available, it is now!
