[Patchnote] Northgard Trials

Welcome to the Northgard Trials! In this first update since the official release of the game, after overcoming the challenges and dangers of the colonization of Northgard with Rig, Halvard and the others, you’ll have to prove your worthiness and climb the ranks towards every Viking’s ultimate goal: the Rimesteel League! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1387259238
This update brings into the game a completely new ranking system:

In Northgard’s new Multiplayer menu, you now have the possibility to choose to create a “ranked” type of game (for the moment, only on dedicated Servers).
Ranked games always have every Victory Conditions enabled.
When winning a ranked game, you’ll receive Glory Points (
). The amount of
you’ll get is based on the rank of the other players in the game. The higher rank your enemies are ranked, better will be the
rewards.
We added a new Player Ranking page, which allows you to see your current rank and the result history of the last 20 games you’ve played.
You’ll start in the Wood league and earning
will allow you to reach new leagues:
- Wood League: 0 to 149
- Stone League: 150 to 299
- Iron League: 300 to 449
- Gold League: 450 to 599
- Rimesteel League: 600
  and more
Every league will unlock a new aspect for your Townhalls (for both Single and Multiplayer games).
In a Ranked game, a disconnected player will be considered as a leaver if he’s not reconnected before 5 minutes. As a leaver, he will lose the ongoing game (with a
penalty) and will not have the possibility to join any Multiplayer game (ranked or not) before 15 minutes.

A lot of you asked for it, so we made it! Huge maps are now available for Single and Multiplayer games. With larger maps come new game modes:

FFA - 8 Players
4v4
2v2v2v2

Disclaimer: The generation for these maps may take a few moments at the beginning of games. Low configuration computers may have some trouble running this type of games (especially in end game).

As you know, we value a LOT the randomness of the map generation in Northgard. However, it seemed a bit unfair to allow the win and the loss of ranked games to depend in a large part on such a huge random factor. In this update, you’ll have the possibility to choose to have balanced map generation! Here are a few rules about this map generation:

For the moment, balanced generation is only available for the following game modes:

Duel
2v2
3v3
4v4
2v2v2

Balanced generation is built by team (not by player).

Special Tiles and Neutral Factions are the only tiles that aren’t exactly the same in the two sides of the maps (if a team gets Thor’s Wrath, the other may have a Geyser).

Some specific clans will get specific positioning in the map:

The clan of the Raven will have the most access to shores
The clan of the Bear will have the most access to fish tiles

We changed a few other things in the game. Next patch will add some major changes in the balance of the game. We felt that with the arrival of the Northgard Trials, we should let you apply the strategies you have been practicing in the last few weeks.

Here are the minor changes:

Warriors now have a damage bonus against Shield Bearers.
We changed the Gold income coming from trading with the Giants
Trade victory has been slightly modified:
- You can now build a Lighthouse event if the Trade Victory isn’t enabled
- Greater Trade Routes now grant +1, +3 and +6 happiness depending on the level of the route.

As a conclusion, I strongly advise the everyone willing to find other people to play with (or against) to join us on the official Northgard Discord Server! Here is the link: http://discord.gg/Northgard

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.
