Viking strategy game Northgard adds another clan to its roster with the launch of a new DLC faction, the Clan of the Owl. The protectors of Yggdrasil are a lore-driven group, and their arrival is accompanied by a big free update for the Norse RTS game, and a deep discount courtesy of a Steam sale. That means there's plenty of reason to come back if you're a veteran player, and a great chance for any potential newcomers to find out why it holds a 'very positive' 9/10 Steam user rating from almost 45,000 reviews.
