Northgard Conquest
Hey everyone!
We're really proud to finally present you the third major free update, and the biggest one yet: Northgard Conquest.
Northgard Conquest is a standalone game-mode that can be played solo or co-op, with a succession of various challenges offering a gaming expansion of +100 hours. The difficulty of the co-op mode will be based on strong collaboration between players.
Forget the lore, choose your clan and let's fight!
Northgard Conquest offers you the possibility to choose your own experience when facing the harsh challenges of Northgard Conquest.
If you want to challenge yourself and personalise your Clan with unique bonuses whilst counting on your own skills and decisions, then choose the Northgard Conquest solo-mode, defeat the other clans and claim the Throne.
Believe in your strengths, establish the best strategy, exploit resources in an optimal way and build the most formidable clans to endure Northgard’s relentless hostility!
Another addition is the ability to share your adventure and overcome the harsh obstacles with the power of collaboration in the new Northgard Conquest co-op mode.
Northgard Conquest encourages teams to experiment and discover every combo available in this game-mode! But beware, Northgard Conquest is a cunning opponent! Having two in a team means double power, double bonuses and of course, double the problems! But nothing is impossible for fearless vikings.
Plan a global strategy, divide the tasks, collaborate, and master the continent together!
Northgard Conquest introduces a brand new way to present and organize all the different challenges Northgard Conquest offers: The Conquest Map.
The Conquest Map is formed by several challenges, 3 of which are specific to each Clan (and adapted to their specialties) which remain constant. The other challenges are pulled from a random pool of challenges, which means that if you restart a Conquest with the same Clan, you will get a different map with different challenges!
As soon as you succeed in one of the 3 specific challenges, several different paths are unlocked and the choice of which path you take is up to you.
Conquest challenges are completely independent between themselves and will challenge you with various specific victory conditions and rules for each challenges. Here’s some examples:
Too Many Wyverns:
Victory condition:
- Kill 3 Wyverns.
Special rules:
- Lots of Wyverns are spotted, it's time for a hunt! - Town Halls are already protected by updgraded Watch Towers.
Race to Yggdrasil:
Victory condition:
- Find the legendary World Tree Yggdrasil, and be the first to conquer it.
Special rules:
- Yggdrasil is larger and cost twice the price to colonize. - There is more Fishes, Fertile Lands and Deer in the map.
Kobolds Infestation:
Victory condition:
- Gain enough territories and raise your Fame to obtain the title of King.
Special rules:
- Many Kobolds camp everywhere. Kobolds are more aggressive, respawn and expand quicker. - For each decolonized Kobolds territory, earn 10 Fame .
As you progress through your Conquest, you'll get to choose specific favors to power up your clan and help you win the next challenge (applicable only to the Conquest game mode).
You can obtain these synergizing favors at the start of a Conquest!
And if you succeed in beating the entire Conquest of a Clan, you'll get a marvelous Town Hall skin related to it! You'll be able to use these skins in all modes:
Clan of the Bear / Boar
Clan of the Goat / Stag
Clan of the Dragon / Raven
Clan of the Snake / Kraken
Clan of the Horse / Wolf
As the biggest major update yet, Northgard Conquest also includes a variety of specific elements as special units, buildings, resources, events or maps. During challenges, you’ll need to exploit them as best you can to succeed!
Valdemar The Cursed
Valdemar was a Legendary King who died bringing battle to Helheim. He now wanders Northgard’s land to avoid death and reach Valhalla. He is usually surrounded by a group of Dark Vaettir who will not let you reach their King.
Dark Vaettir
Unholy Ice Spirits that should not live on this side of Bifrost.
Undead Wyvern
A Frightening Beast, unnaturally turned into something even more terrifying.
Gemstones
Valued resources coveted by overseas merchants.
Gates of Niflheim

Pillars of Glory
An ancient legacy for famous Kings. Assign Heralds to Pillars of Glory to earn Fame for your Clan.

Curse
Some of your units will be infected by a strange disease...
Frozen Attack
Death is coming...
Sons of Hymr
Some strange gates are glowing, prepare to fend off the invaders!
Northgard Conquest introduces new specific map configurations that you'll be able to explore during challenges, like The Inner Sea.
This brand new map configuration will host challenges that encourage you to establish the best strategy and exploit all the available resources to succeed and conquer.
In addition to the basic difficulty modes (Easy / Normal / Hard), Northgard Conquest has introduced most challenging difficulty yet: Extreme Mode.
This difficulty will do everything in its power to stop you from reaching the Throne and will make Northgard an incredibly hostile continent, more so than it ever was.
But if this difficulty isn't challenging enough for you... maybe we create an even more difficult one that will make Northgard a true nightmare for you!

[Patchnote] Northgard Major Update - Relics
Greetings Warchiefs!
We're glad to finally present you our new major update: Northgard Relics!
Relics is the biggest content update since the release of Northgard Ragnarok, and we truly hope you’ll enjoy what we’ve introduced!
The creation and usage of tools has been completely changed in this patch.
The Forge
The Forge has gained a lot of importance in Northgard. The building requires a Woodcutter’s Lodge to be created and costs 80 and 20 .
The building can be upgraded with 100 , 50 and 5 .
You can assign 2 smiths to a non-upgraded Forge and 3 to an upgraded Forge. Add Smiths to craft items quicker.
You can build more than one Forge, but you won’t be able to use both buildings to craft the same item.
The Tools
In the Forge, you now have the possibility of 3 different actions:
Upgrade civilian tools
Upgrade military tools
Forge a Relic
You can queue multiple items in the Forge. When the first item is finished, the Smiths will start forging the next one.
If there isn’t any adversity in the Forge’s tile, you can cancel the creation of an item, and you’ll be refunded its original cost.
You’ll have the possibility to improve the Smith’s tools, granting them a 15% increase in Forge speed!
The knowledge of building Relics has just been rediscovered. Every clan can choose between 5 common Relics and each clan has one specific relic. Each clan can only have one relic per game and can only use the relic it creates.
To build a Relic, go to the Relic tab in the Forge menu and select the type of relic you want to build. Once it’s built, it will appear in the list of available buildings. Forging a Relic costs 10, 50 and 100.
The Common Relics
Here is their list, the requirements needed to build them and their effect:
If you have unlocked a military path, you can unlock a new military path
Your military experience is common for both paths

Northgard Relics - the Open BETA begins!
Hey guys!
We've been working hard in the past few months to improve the game offer you some exciting new content!
Here is Northgard: Relics, the next major update for our game!
This BETA's primary goal is for us to determine if the Relics change the game in a positive way and work as well as they should.
The Beta will run for 2 weeks (until March 14th). We'd really appreciate it if you'd share your feedback with us on our official Discord (in the open-beta channel): https://discordapp.com/invite/northgard
How can I join the Open BETA?
It's very simple:
Fill in this form: https://goo.gl/forms/t7KWaQZkuVxaYdPu1
Get your Open BETA code at the end of the form
Right-click on Northgard and go to Properties
Jump into the BETA Tab
Enter the code
In the drop down menu, select Open Beta Relic
Quit and restart Steam
Northgard should require an update!
Congrats! You're in!
You can find the full patch notes below!
The creation and usage of tools has been completely changed in this patch.
The forge
The Forge has gained a lot of importance in Northgard. The building requires a Woodcutter’s Lodge to be created and costs 80 Wood and 20 Kröwns.
The building can be upgraded with 100 Wood, 50 Kröwns and 5 Stones.
You can assign 2 smiths to a non-upgraded Forge and 3 to an upgraded Forge. Add Smiths to craft items quicker.
You can build more than one Forge, but you won’t be able to use both buildings to craft the same item.
The tools
In the forge, you now have the possibility of 3 different actions:
Upgrading civilian tools
Upgrading military tools
Forge a Relic
You can queue multiple items in the Forge. When the first item is finished, the Smiths will start forging the next one.
If there isn’t any adversity in the Forge’s tile, you can cancel the creation of an item, and you’ll be refunded its original cost.
You’ll have the possibility to improve the Smith’s tools, granting them a 15% increase in Forge speed!
The knowledge of building Relics has just been rediscovered. Every clan can choose between 6 common Relics and each clan has one specific relic. Each clan can only have one relic at a time and only can use the relic it creates.
To build a Relic, go to the Relic tab in the Forge menu and select the type of relic you want to build. Once it’s built, it will appear in the list of available buildings. Forging a Relic costs 10 Iron, 50 Wood and 100 Kröwns.
The Common Relics
Here is their list, the requirements needed to build them and their effect:
If you have unlocked a military path, you can unlock a new military path
Your military experience is common for both paths
