Clan of the Hounds in Ranked | Patch notes for 06/06/2024

v3.5.6.38277

Hounds Balancing

A lot of small tweaks and rebalancing of the clans as were making it available for ranked games. The idea behind those changes is not only to nerf the strongest elements, but also to rebalance some elements that feel underutilized compared to other elements. For example were making Foxskin less strong, in order to make the Wolfskin more interesting, and were decreasing the heal of Bloodthirst, while making the speed of heal faster, and making the heal ability of the Boarskin stronger in exchange, to incentivize using it to compensate. With this patch release, the clan is now available in ranked multiplayer. [expand type=details]

Conquest Battles

Following some feedback weve received about the second conquest battle of the clan being too challenging in comparison to the others, were swapping it for another one. [expand type=details]

Hounds clan battle n2 is now No Gods No Master. (Previously The Great Hunt)
The clan can now play the Age of Vampires battle.
- The clan can only evolve 1 berserker, which is considered the Warchief of the clan, and has the nightwalker ability.

[/expand]

QOL

[expand type = showmore]

Bloodthirst visual signal (on health bars) has been reworked to be more clear, and cause less confusion. (with some players thinking it would work as a shield and prevent taking damage for exemple)
It is now possible to remove an animal soul from the arena having to avoid players getting stuck in some cases and having to destroy the building.

[/expand][/expand] [hr][/hr]

Other

Gate of Helheim

Were adding a new rule to the Gate of Helheim zone, to address the issues of some clans benefiting too heavily from the Valkyrie spawn instead of being challenged by it. [expand type=details]

Killing the Fallen Valkyries on the gate of Helheim and later summoned by the gate (when colonized) no longer give Military XP nor trigger any on kill effects. (Hounds Bloodthirst, Eagle Boneyard, Wolf Spoils of War, Lynx Trophies, and so on)

[/expand]

Lore Victory

[expand type=showmore]

Direct gains of Lore accumulate Lore/ Faith for the Monument and the Victory. (Ruins, Ox Warcraft, Lion start-with, Hounds boarskin soul absorption, Eagle caches, and so on)

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.
