Trade & Prestige - OUT NOW

Ohoï Vikings!

After weeks gathering your feedback, it is now time to unveil the Trade and Prestige update! We are also waiting for you to comment on the new Miklagard faction which joined the ever-growing Northgard universe!
Trade & Prestige - available now


[hr][/hr]
[h2]Trading with Miklagard[/h2][hr][/hr]
A new faction has reached Northgard, through a famous merchant from Miklagard!

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

To gain influence with Miklagard, you can trade through trading posts and docks with relevant knowledge. Trading will grant strong bonuses but will require active engagement on your end. Miklagard wealth is desired by many, and you'll have to fight for their favours.
Gather the most influence, crush your rivals diplomatically and claim victory!

[h2]New Balancing[/h2][hr][/hr]
Reduced the domination of the Hounds Clan during early-game by weakening their units at the start of a game. This adjustment slows down their initial progress and scaling, while maintaining their late-game strength. This aims to balance gameplay without diminishing the clan's power in the later stages, making it reach peak strength a bit later.
The Owl Clan has been adjusted to diversify its role in multiplayer. A scouting bonus has been added to its Fame 200 to make scouting more attractive, alongside a community-requested nerf to Parasitic Vegetables to balance its power.
The Squirrel Clan’s meal effect for allies now scales over time, increasing the impact in later stages of the game. This adjustment is intended to make the Squirrel Clan a more viable and competitive support option in multiplayer settings.
The Boar Clan unique aspects, particularly the Menders, have been enhanced to bring them in line with the current meta and make better use of the clan's specific abilities and strengths in multiplayer.
The Snake Clan’s Scorched Earth ability has been reverted to work only in neutral or enemy territory, thus correcting the unintended change allowing it to be triggered on the clan’s own land.
The Stag Clan’s Glory of the Clan knowledge has been updated to account for its new retroactive effect, ensuring it is balanced with recent changes and functions as intended in gameplay.

This balancing aims at addressing community concerns on those specific clans as well as others. If you would like to read more about it, please check the complete patch notes by using the link below!

Full patch notes

While reviewing your most recent feedback, we noticed a strong demand for deeper rework of the current meta. We plan to get a closer look at the topic during our Annual Survey to fully appreciate how important it is for the community.
[hr][/hr]

We hope you'll enjoy this community update!
Rest assured that we'll pay close attention to your comments. A first update should arrive early next week to address any potential new issue! Besides, you won't have to wait long for more info on the next update... ⚔️
