Northgard clans - a quick guide

So you bought the excellent Viking game Northgard and have been playing it for a while now. You keep looking at those locked up clans in the menu. You stare at them, wondering if they are worth the investment; if you should get one, two or none of them. Confused and panicked, you ask yourself "what should I do?!" Worry not, for we have put together a small guide about them so you know exactly which Northgard clan will be suited to your needs.

The base game offers six clans to choose from: Stag, Goat, Wolf, Raven, Bear and Boar; and the add-ons will get you up to six more at the time of writing: Snake, Dragon, Horse, Kraken Ox, and the recently released Lynx clan which is especially quite fun.

It's worth noting a some of the newer clans can overlap with vanilla factions, although that doesn't mean they don't have their own unique style as well.
