Winter is coming. As in - it's almost here. Wouldn't it be nice for the entire clan to gather up around the hearth fire in a newly-upgraded town hall, sip some mead, and listen to the Housecarl as they tell the stories of great battles of the past, and fantastic sagas of long-gone heroes, now only remembered by their burial mounds? Well, now your Vikings can do all that, and you should hope this makes them happy. Introducing, the City Building update. See for yourself:

The highlight of the update is the new Clan Support Mechanics. Your people will now react to your actions in a more direct way - you'll have to provide food to your people, social buildings near households and proper funeral for the fallen warriors, otherwise, the discontent will rise among your people and you will start to receive punishments for insufficient village management.

Each discontent tier comes with more frequent punishments, adding a new tier to the management gameplay depth. Building the newly included inns and burial mounds that provide entertainment and an outlet for your peoples' spirituality are just one way of making sure you don't lose the clan's support.

It is the time when Hel herself turns the blind eye to the dead warriors returning to Midgard and roaming the Frozen North. The spooky season is upon us, and it did not spare the serene lands of Frozenheim! A special in-game event will pit the players against the Draugen, corporal ghosts of fallen Vikings who come back looking to spread terror and need to be put to rest again. You'll be facing them in-game starting today, and through to November 8.

But that's only the saesoning on the main course that is the new content update. See for yourself!
