Military Path

Legion

• 1st level → 50 xp
  
  • No more free forge, this doesn’t fit with this path, it doesn't make sense that you can forge while this path turns around upgrading military buildings. Instead the first military upgrade will be free.
  
  
• 3rd level → 1500 xp
  
  • We revert this change to the previous behaviour except the value will be less efficient due to the change on shared bonuses between all military units. The idea behind that change is to strengthen your army when you reach this level and not allow you to over recruit. So each upgrade will grant 25% more bonuses of the corresponding building.

Leadership

• 2nd level → 500 xp
  
  • Each forge will give 5% more life, attack and defense to the Warchief

Balancing

• Woodcutter camp - The upgrade cost less stone 10 -> 5
  
• Warrior forge - break armor reduced 25% -> 15%
  
• Kraken - Valkyrie cost decreased : 120 -> 100
  
• Lighthouse - Now cost 100 -> 50 (except for Raven)

• Dragon - Last draconic path level make all units absorb damages (instead of just draconic nightmares)

Hello everyone!

We're now at the end of January and after some patching and experimentation earlier this month, it's time to move forward!
Today we begin the first open beta for the incoming community update for Northgard, focus on answering many feedback shared those past years!

Community Update beta part 1

Quality of Life

General

• It is now possible to transform a specialized worker back into a villager by assigning it to build or repair a building.

Pvp

• 2v2 mode is available for Quick and Ranked games
  
• New pick system for 3v3 and 2v2
  
  • In Quick and Ranked team games, players will now have to select their clans one after another, in order to allow each team to see the strategy of their opponents, and react accordingly and suppress the problem of last-second picking.
  
  
• New blind system for FFA and Duel
  
  • Following the same idea, clans picked in Quick and Ranked games in Duel and FFA modes will not be displayed to opponent players in the lobby, to avoid the same problems

Balancing

Military Units and Camps

• All Military Camps upgrade bonus are now a flat stat bonuses, rather than an gain in % (except for attack-speed)
  
• Those bonuses now impact the stats of ALL military units of the clan, and not just the type associated with the camp.
  
  • For example - Upgrading a Shield Camp increases the Defense of Warriors and Axe-Throwers, while upgrading and Axe Camp increases the Attack Power of Shield-Beares and Warriors as well

• Warriors now have a native passive ability, allowing them to ignore 25% of the Defense of their target.
  
• Warriors forge no longer gives them a charge ability.
  
• Warriors forge armor-breaking ability now also reduces the target Projectile Resistance.

• Shield-Bearers forge now unlock a charge ability (while also keeping the previous defensive effect)

Military Path: Legion

• All military forges are free.
  
• You generate Military XP based on your Max Warband (max: +10).

• Military units recruitment costs only increase based on the number of units of the same type already recruited.

• Once a Military Camp is upgraded, the other camps in the zone are 50% cheaper to upgrade as well.

Known Issues

• UI - Upgrading a warrior camp will not display the 5% earned on unit UI
