[quote=author]Hey everyone! We are proud to present to you our eighth clan, the clan of the Rat, which brings some exciting new mechanics and units to Northgard. Read on to find out more about what makes the clan of Dodsvagr so unique. [/quote] https://store.steampowered.com/app/1876990/Northgard__Dodsvagr_Clan_of_the_Rat/


Welcoming wounded and outcast villagers who have been forced out of their original clans without hesitation or prejudice, it is understandable why the many followers of the Rat dedicate their life, and sometimes their death, to the clan. The clan doesnt have time for feasts, or even sleeping in houses, only hard work is worth celebrating, but if you have enough energy to celebrate, then you could, and should have worked harder. The clan will work and fight tirelessly to get what they want, and to survive.

Powerful shaman and merciless warrior, Eir leads the clan of the rat with an iron fist. She taught her clan the ways of the shaman, so they could survive even the most severe injuries, and ensure their enemies do not. Some say that her mastery of dark practices goes as far as being able to bring back dead beasts from the depths of Helheim...

The shaman, trained by Eir, are powerful units that will fight fearlessly during the heat of battle, and take care of the injured in its aftermath. They can also lend a helping hand to their allies by healing them as well.

• The clan starts with more villagers but they arrive wounded. Wounded units are exempt from
  Happiness requirements.
  
• The clan doesn't have access to Houses, but all non-mystical buildings provide housing. Once max population is reached, extra villagers stack in a Population Reserve.
• The Shaman Camp replaces the Healer Hut and trains Shamans able to fight and heal multiple units and allies even outside your territory.
  
• When the clans units kill foes or die, the corpses are cremated at the Shaman Camp, producing
  Lore and attracting new villagers faster.
  
• Overwork replaces the
  Feast and boosts all productions at the expense of your worker's
  Health.
