This means that villagers can be ordered to become farmers, fishers, warriors, or something else on the fly. Villagers are needed to build and repair houses, but they also collect food, if they're not told to do otherwise.Īll of your citizens can be assigned different roles when you desire to do so. These are basic citizens who are generated at your Town Hall, if you have enough houses and if your people are happy.
When starting a new game of Northgard, you own a limited area, a Town Hall, and some villagers. They seem reasonably balanced, apart from the somewhat weak-feeling clan of the wolf - something the developer is focusing on in patches. All six clans in the game are exciting to play as and produce very different approaches. This approach is in direct contrast to the clan of the raven, called Huginn and Muninn, who can order mercenaries to attack enemy shores and spend money, called Kröwns, instead of food when colonising an area. The player can choose from a growing number of clans to play as, each of which has their own advantages, such as the goat-clan Heidrun, who can build a sheepfold, which turns sheep into a continuous source of meat (normally a sheep must be killed in order to produce meat). While both jötunn and kobolds can be traded with, most other non-human species are hostile. Large parts of the map are therefore naturally inhabited by these beasts such as giants called jötunn, kobolds, and valkyries. The game, as the name implies, takes place in Northgard a wild and untamed continent that the Vikings discover, where the winters are harsh and mythical creatures rule.

The full release of the game naturally features many smaller changes, and some of these will be commented on in this review. What is new is that the game is now finished, and also features a short campaign, introducing the many different clans available in single- or multiplayer.
Shiro Games, the studio that was also responsible for the fantastic Evoland, has been working on Northgard in Early Access for about a year. This isn't only a tribute to Warcraft 3 and Age of Empires clad in Viking armor - it's also a refreshing combination of RTS, Settlers-like city building, as well as classic empire board gaming, the types of games where you slowly colonise the map. With Northgard Shiro Games is attempting to breathe new life into the real-time strategy genre.
