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.

[h2]TEMPORARY GAME MODE[/h2]
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.

[h2]NEW TEMPORARY TOWN HALL SKIN[/h2]

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!

Ohoï Vikings!
While we take care of the Bifröst mode, it's time to slowly turn toward the next update!
An open beta will be opened containing the main change regarding Trade & Prestige...The trade victory rework!

[h2]The old trade victory[/h2][hr][/hr]

Just like the Wisdom Victory was before, we feel like the Trade Victory is in a frustrating situation right now, for different reasons.

• It is a very self-centered way to play, and not a very interesting one. All a clan has to do is wait behind their borders, accumulate kröwns, and wait for the numbers to go up.
  
• It does not really offer opportunities to opponent players. If they want to make it harder for a player targeting this victory they don’t really have other options apart from eliminating them outright. If they can’t, the clan is basically certain to win.
  
• The great trade-route is not that interesting in itself (except for Raven maybe), and so starting to trade with it immediately puts a target on the clans doing it, as this signals a move for victory. So generally most players just avoid it entirely.
  
• The reliance on one specific Knowledge (Shipbuilding) means the trade-route is not even an option for you to focus on Trading-posts instead. Making it irrelevant in many games simply due to map generations, clan selected, or else.

[h2]The new Trade Victory[/h2][hr][/hr]

The new victory will be linked to the arrival of the rich foreign nation of Miklagard! Here is what to know at this stage:

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

[expand]

• The trade with Miklagard can be done via trading post and Docks with the associated knowledge!
  
• Specific bonuses/gifts can be gained via trading with them, making this path more rewarding
  
• Knowledges and bonuses impact the relations to them like any other routes (Kraken says thank you)
  The goal is to reach 40% of influence toward the faction, and it won't be as easy as waiting in your territory for your influence to grow. you'll have to compete with opposing influences such as:
  
  • Miklagard itself - The faction start with an initial pool of Influence,
    
  • The neutral factions - getting rid of them on the map will let you absorb 50% of their influence, the rest fading slowly as time pass
    
  • Opposing clans - Same as the neutral factions. Get rid of your opponents to take a part of their influence!

[/expand]

[h2]Time for your feedback[/h2][hr][/hr]
As you might have guessed, this is still an early version of the patch. For that reason we only focus on the victory and some functionality might not be entirely functional yet. For that reason we demand you to focus on the specific questions below:

• Do you find this iteration of the trade-victory more fun to play and interact with than the previous one?
  
• Do you see yourself interacting with it more than you did the previous one?
  
• What do you think of the rewards offered by the faction? (both gameplay and balance-wise)
  
• Do you see yourself playing with it in Pvp settings?
  
• Do you see yourself trading with the Miklagard faction even when not directly aiming at a trade-victory?
  
• Do you find the current values to be competitive and balanced in Pvp settings? If not why?

Try the feature first and avoid providing feedback based on intuitions or impressions + give us as much details as you can on your play sessions to justify your feedbacks and help us understand your point of view

Be sure to follow those questions for your feedback!
We are waiting for your feedbacks on our Steam Forum or on Discord for more reactivity!

Hello everyone!

If you are trying to play from Russia, you may have noticed that the mutliplayer button is currently unclickable. Meaning you do not have access to our servers at the moment.
This situation is unfortunately outside of our control and deserves some clarification.

Starting this Friday, our servers could not be reached from Russia. Following a thorough investigation on our end, we can safely determine that the source of the issue is exterior to our infrastructure. We suspect the root cause to be outside of our control. Thanks to the help and comments from our community, we noticed that players could join our servers by using third-party tools, masking their country of origin. As we speak the issue seems to be limited to the Russian territory.

To help us figure out how to solve this issue and asking for your assistance, we have opened a temporary Steam Forum.

Help us here

We will keep you updated on the situation via our usual social media channels.

Привет всем!

Если вы пытаетесь играть из России, возможно, вы заметили, что кнопка мультиплеера в данный момент неактивна. Это означает, что вы не имеете доступа к нашим серверам на данный момент. К сожалению, эта ситуация находится вне нашего контроля и требует разъяснений.

Начиная с пятницы, наши серверы стали недоступны для России. После тщательного расследования с нашей стороны мы можем с уверенностью сказать, что источник проблемы находится вне нашей инфраструктуры. Мы предполагаем, что корень проблемы лежит вне нашей компетенции. Благодаря помощи и комментариям от нашего сообщества, мы заметили, что игроки могут подключаться к нашим серверам, используя сторонние инструменты для маскировки своей страны. На данный момент проблема, кажется, ограничивается территорией России.

Чтобы помочь нам разобраться в проблеме, мы открыли временный форум на Steam и просим вашей помощи.

Помогите нам здесь

Мы будем держать вас в курсе ситуации через наши обычные каналы в социальных сетях.
