Northgard Definitive Edition | Out Now!

4 Dec

Hello warchiefs,

Northgard Definitive Edition is available now. This free major update brings brand new content, and a host of changes, improvements and community requests to the base game!

To celebrate the release, Northgard Definitive Edition and its DLC are up to 60% off their price!

Now available

The Definitive Edition now includes the base game, the Cross of Vidar expansion pack, 3 additional clans, "the art of Northgard" digital artbook and is priced at $34.99

What does this mean for you?

If you own Northgard but don’t own some of the DLC mentioned above, they are now integrated into your game as a free update.
If you own Northgard and all of the DLC mentioned above, you are not impacted by these changes.
If you don’t already own Northgard, you can buy it now with a special launch discount!

More content, like the Valhalla biome and Frostbite Bifrost mode have also been added to the game. We covered these new additions and more in our previous blog.

But we saved some surprises for today!

We heard your requests for more skins when the shop update was announced, so we've designed some new ones:

[carousel]

[/carousel]

Rig, the King of all clans, returns to the Clan of the Stag for a new fight!
Hagen also returns to lead the Clan of the Raven.
The leaders of the Southern Kingdom during the Cross of Vidar saga will also be available! This includes Lothaire, Carloman and a new look for Nominoe!

We’ve also made some changes to the Map Editor, as we know there are quite a few vikings out there that enjoy making special maps for others to enjoy!
From today’s update scripts can be made independently from a map. This means the same script can be played on different maps in custom games. You can read more about this change in the changelog below under the Mods sections.

Stag

Einherjar was a bit behind their paired Warriors. We forgot to update them when we changed Warrior’s stats.

Units

Einherjar
- Stats have changed: [color=#74AF4B]60/10/6 -> 70/11/5[/color]

Raven

Raven is a good scout, but slowing them down a bit should be better for the game, especially for early rush strategies.

Knowledge

Rangers
- Scouting speed has been reduced: [color=#C53D3B]50% -> 25%[/color]
- Scouts now consume more food: [color=#C53D3B]0% -> 50%[/color]

Bear

Bear is our beginner clan if you struggle during winter. We cannot change its identity, but we are trying to give it a direction that should be a clear clan assistant. You can now freely use Borgild and/or Kaija to help your clan. They are no longer needed for your economy.

Clan

Fame 200
- You gain +3 Fame per enemy unit killed in a zone with Borgild or Kaija.
- Shield Bearer Camp increases zone production by 10%
Fame 500
- For every 100 Fame you’ve earned, your military units gain +1.5% attack power.
- Kaija can now enter enemy territory

Boar

We all remember the Relic when it was at +10 and it was a forced relic to make. So we don’t want to go back to this. But we are making it more rewarding to build it. There is no more cost to summon, you have full control of the Giant Boar and it can even go outside your territory. We hope that it will give it a small place in some games.

Clan

Relic: Cost to summon Giant Boar [color=#74AF4B]150 Lore -> No cost[/color]
Fame 200:
- Knowledge given by this fame counts towards blessings

Units

Giant Boar
- You can control it during combat
- Can go to an uncolonized adjacent zone of your territory
- Stats have changed: [color=#74AF4B]90/11/11 -> 120/16/12[/color]

Snake

In our understanding, Snake never mines. That is fine to us, but it is a bit too easy to not do it. So we wanted to delay it a bit. Also, it will be affected by other nerfed lore like Field Ration.

Scorched Earth will now give less minerals, [color=#C53D3B]3 -> 2[/color]

Horse

Horse, Horse, Horse. A lot of changes to try to give it an economic direction without killing its versatility build. We agreed with the fact that chiefs have too much work to do in your territory, so we sped up everything they do. You should be able to do other things with your chiefs now.

Clan

Ruins and Shipwreck provide [color=#74AF4B]-50% -> -25%[/color] Krown.

Knowledge

Ancestral Influence
- Replaces Medecine
Great Tower
- Upgraded Tower becomes Great Tower, you have 2 free upgrades tower. Upkeep is the same as an upgraded tower.
Volund Fire
- Increases tools production by [color=#74AF4B]5% -> 7.5%[/color]
Units
Warchiefs
- Increases Mining speed, forging speed and building speed by [color=#74AF4B]20% -> 40%[/color]
- Building Speed of Etria increased to [color=#74AF4B]30% -> 50%[/color]
- Forging Speed of Brok increased to [color=#74AF4B]30% -> 50%[/color]

Kraken

We agree with you that Kraken's current growth loop is a bit frustrating. So we sped up the spectral warrior recruitment, making it less punishing to not produce villagers. Also, by investigating the Kraken loop, we saw that Ràn's Blessing spectral’s growth wasn't working properly.

Clan

We increased the speed of Spectral arrival. They should appear twice as fast.
Relic - We added a protection to attacks from the sea (Mercenaries, Ghost Event)

Knowledge

Endless Tides
- Pop growth and Spectral growth increased by 20%
Ràn's Blessing
- Spectral growth is working correctly, now gives +20%

Units

Seeress
- Produces [color=#74AF4B]+3 -> +3.5[/color] Wyrd
- You can recruit a Valkyrie while being in negative Wyrd

Rat

We understand that keeping your pyres up can be overwhelming, so we are trying to give you more space by giving you a bit more time.

Clan

Losing a unit gives you [color=#74AF4B]20s -> 30s[/color] of purification time
Earning military experience gives you 25% more purification time

Hounds

We’ve heard that Hounds is in a relatively good place. However, we are not happy with the sustain it has during combat, specifically against players. Also, we want players to choose more carefully which zerkers should be prioritized in terms of level to get lvl3 -> lvl 7. We didn’t change its clearing, but in mass combat you should be more careful about your zerkers.

Carcass gives [color=#74AF4B]15% more experience[/color]; resources given are unchanged
We have reduced the amount of experience given by kills: [color=#C53D3B]25% -> 20%[/color]
Experience needed to get level 2: [color=#74AF4B]250 -> 225[/color]

Turtle

Turtle is a beast when we talk about relationships. It can gain too much fame in a short amount of time. We are nerfing it a bit.

Clan

The clan earns [color=#C53D3B]+30 -> 20[/color] Fame for each positive level of relation with other clans and factions.

Hippogriff

Hippogriff is a monster in mid late game with its Varangian, at least that’s what we wanted, but we didn’t want it to go only Varangian. Varangians should be an elite squad: you convert some and work with other units. So we reduced the camp needed to get some, but we increased the scaling cost of the Varangians.
We didn’t want to touch the “quality” of the units, but make it harder to stack them. So you should be able to make fewer Varangians.

Knowledge

Ember of Prosperity
- Brazier produces [color=#C53D3B]+0.75 -> 0.5 Krown, +1.5 -> 1[/color] during Ignite

Units

Varangian
- Camp gives more space for them: [color=#74AF4B]2 -> 3[/color]
- Their scaling cost has been increased: [color=#C53D3B]60 + (15 * nb) -> 60 + (45 * nb)[/color]

Goodbye Northgard. It was good while it lasted. But these developers clearly don't understand what made you so much fun in the first place.

What made this game so much fun in the past: While I struggled a lot at first, once I learned how to manage the AoE like economy of this game, things truly kicked off from there. I started buying some dlcs to mix things up a little, some better than others ofc - looking at Eagle clan mostly...

One game would always take just about one hour to finish, so perfect before going to work or after (or both!) Start up a viking playlist from Danheim or Wardruna and it got even better.

Found Conquest a lot of fun! Imagine beating multiple maps with modifiers and then getting to pick a bonus for the remaining maps. Loved it!

The Death of Northgard: (in my opinion)
This bizarre focus on multiplayer... Why? Who wanted this? PVE with your mates I can understand but who the hell cares for PVP in this game?

"Improvements" to the AI. Imagine you play the most OP clan in the game (Lynx if you ask me), but you still struggle against a basic AI opponent such as the Wolf clan. Any of the AI clans can now come at you with 10+ units while you have your warchief, 2 kittens and 3 archers. Then add to the mix that RNG has screwed you over so you have another AI doing just the same thing. This has been a thing forever now.
I feel like this balancing issue has been looked at many times, yet they fail to fix it every time...

Every freaking patch seems to make the game more unstable. I notice more stuttering than ever before and found myself even crashing on multiple occasions. This got even worse after this so called "Definitive Edition"

Which leads me to the final nail in the coffin for me. The "Definitive Edition" for Northgard.
Is this BS what you calll the final version for Northgard? That is just insulting. Sorry. I loved this game once, but you (the devs) have completely lost touch with what made this game so good at one point or you never cared.

It is absolutely unplayable after the 'definitive edition' release. Constant freezes, like, every 8-10 seconds and it`s almost impossible to start a game. What a shame, it was good before 5th of December, now it`s a waste of your money

I played for more than 220Hrs without any issues, but since the recent "Definitive Edition" update, game is running poorly and Conquests are bugged.
Browsing for 2 min in the discussions on Steam i found out that a lot of people have the same issues.
Cannot recommend this "Definitive Edition"...
