NORTHGARD OFFICIAL RELEASE - RIG'S SAGA IS OUT

Hello Northgardians! We’re so proud to finally officially release Northgard to you!! :) Before jumping into the patch note, we really wanted to thank all of you for supporting our game during this Early Access year! It’s been quite a ride :)
This major update is without a doubt the one we put the most work in. You’ll of course be able to enjoy the full version of Rig’s Saga. We also worked a lot on a new feature for our combat system, and we added A LOT of cool new things :)
As we reached the 20k users registered to our Rig’s Saga Beta, we knew that we had to deliver a very qualitative and fun to play campaign mode. We work very hard on these 11 chapters. I strongly recommend you to play the first chapter again, as we added new cool things (including Achievements, Easy and Hard mode, dynamic in and out game cinematics). https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1323083558 A few more things for you to know:

  • For each difficulty levels, completing the campaign will unlock specific Steam achievements
  • Completing every additional objectives for each chapter will also unlock Steam achievements
  • When having completed every chapter in Hard difficulty and having obtained every additional object, you unlock something quite special for your solo and multiplayer games ;)
We truly hope you’ll have fun playing this campaign =) Disclamer: We know that some of the campaign dialogue are still to be translated, we're on it, and it should be done next week! ;-)

You asked for it, so we did it! Northgard's Mac & linux versions will be released tomorrow, March, 8th :)

New Features - Solo & Multi player


Supply Penalty: We know there has been some issue with rush tactics. So we decided to add to the current combat system a “distance to home” dynamic. Military units will have their attack power decreased depending on the distance their are from allied territory: 1 Tile: -0%

4 Tiles and more: -30%
Please note that this rule will not affect mercenaries’ attack power and will not be implemented in the campaign scenarios.

  • We fixed A LOT of “No Entrance”, “Null Access” and “EOM” bugs

The roadmap after the release


As we already mentionned, Northgard's development will not stop with this official release! We plan on working on the game much much longer, adding many gameplay features, game modes, and general content. Between these MASSIVE updates, we'll keep improving the game, in terms of bugs, system compatibility and balancing. In a few weeks, a balancing patch will be released to adjust the clans' specificities after the modifications of today's launch. Following this, we intend to work on a more complete multiplayer patch.

The next clans' release


With each of the major updates, we plan on releasing new clans to add to the diversity of the game.

Any resemblance to real months is purely coincidental

The last year has been quite a ride for us! Northgard's concept seduced way more people than we anticipated at first, and you, as a group of players passionnate about Strategy games, pushed us to deliver the best game we could. We could not have dreamt of a more helpful and dedicated community and it's clear that Northgard could not have been as complete as it is today without you! For that, for your invaluable feedback, for you advice and feature requests,we say THANK YOU! The future will show that we will not let you down. Enjoy Northgard, its campaign, its solo and multiplayer modes.

THE GAME




After years of tireless explorations, brave Vikings have discovered a new land filled with mystery, danger and riches: Northgard.

The boldest Northmen have set sail to explore and conquer these new shores, bring fame to their Clan and write history through conquest, trading, or devotion to the Gods.
That is, if they can survive the dire wolves and undead warriors roaming the land, befriend or defeat the giants, and survive the harshest winters ever witnessed in the North.



  • Build your settlement on the newly discovered continent of Northgard
  • Assign your vikings to various jobs (Farmer, Warrior, Sailor, Loremaster...)
  • Manage your resources carefully and survive harsh winters and vicious foes
  • Expand and discover new territory with unique strategic opportunities
  • Achieve different victory conditions (Conquest, Fame, Lore, Trading...)
  • Play against your friends or against an AI with different difficulty levels and personalities
  • Enjoy dedicated servers and grind the ranks to reach the final Norse God rank!

THE CAMPAIGN MODE: RIG'S SAGA


The Viking High King is murdered and his REGAL HORN is stolen by a man named HAGEN. This event kickstarts a saga that will take RIG, his son and heir accompanied by his right-hand man BRAND through the new continent of NORTHGARD, where he will make new friends and foes and discover a much greater threat than HAGEN, and the reasons behind his father’s assassination.



In order to complete the 11 chapters campaign, the player will have to master the specificities of all 6 clans and tame the unforgiving wilderness of Northgard.
