Northgard News

Hey vikings! Time to unveil the next clan to join Northgard, this time a kingdom with strong ties with some of our earliest clans!
Have a read and don't forget to wishlist the Clan of the Hippogriff using the link at the end of the news!

[hr][/hr]From Southern Lands, Sindri, eldest brother of Brok and Eitria, returns clad in fire and steel, his twin hammers echoing both legacy and defiance. A figure of both might and mastery, bringing with him the legacy of the forge and the discipline of distant Kingdoms. Thus rises the Clan of the Hippogriff, where ancient Norse spirit meets the tempered structure of the South.



The clan of the Hippogriff, fueled by the fire of their braziers and southern craftmanship will join Northgard in June!

Hey Warchiefs!
After a month of experimentation with you, it is finally time to deliver the Community Update to all of the community. Thank you all for your participation and, if you haven't followed our most recent blog posts, have a read before hoping into the game

[hr][/hr]
[h2]Major Rework[/h2][hr][/hr]
All rework has been addressed in previous blog post, if you’re interested in one topic in particular, be sure to check them!

[h3]New combat reworked[/h3]
The “power triangle” has been revamped to make multi-unit armies viable again, with shared bonuses across all unit types. Major tweaks affect all clans, including a fully reworked Legion path, a unique military path for the Clan of the Dragon, and a new southern Kingdom forge to support both mono and mixed armies.

[h3]Lobby reworked and ranked gamemode[/h3]
2v2 is back in Quick and Ranked games, giving players a long-requested competitive mode in the new lobby system. A new pick system has also been added: clans are now chosen one by one in team modes (2v2 and 3v3) to improve strategy and fairness. In FFA and Duel, picks are now hidden to avoid last-second countering.

[h3]New visuals[/h3]
All military units from both Northern clans and Southern kingdoms have received visual upgrades, following the improvements made to Warchiefs and specialized workers. Expect higher-resolution models, new animations, and more personality in each fighter. Battles now feel more intense with improved combat effects, especially in large engagements. Feedback is welcome as we polish the final visuals!

[h2]New conquests[/h2][hr][/hr]
3 new conquests has been added, linked to the clan of the Hounds
