With eleven levels in total, each coming with their own cutscenes, I found it really invaluable to play the story mode first. When a regal horn and the map to Northgard are stolen from you, you have to set out to reclaim what is rightfully yours. And with three modes to choose from – single player, story mode and multiplayer, Northgard has plenty of options for nearly every RTS fan.įirstly, we’ll talk through the story mode. If you’ve played the Civilisation games before then Northgard has a lot of things similar to those. Based on a land that has been recently discovered by the Vikings, your job is to conquer these lands, grow your community and essentially survive. Northgard is a Viking-themed RTS created by Shiro Games. So when Northgard made the jump to the Nintendo Switch, it felt like the right game to give the RTS genre a shot on the Switch.

You can use this building to sacrifice your people in order to honor the gods and gain their favors, unlocking various bonuses!

Thralls can be purchased from your longship dock and after getting the Capture Lore, you’ll be able to oppress other faction's people.īut if by any chance your regular population falls under your Thrall population, they will rise against you! Their thralls, like regular civilians, can travel in neutral territory, carry out basic tasks and fight. Oppression is an important aspect of the clan’s economy. You can buy thralls from your Longship Dock You can build a Dragonkin Altar instead of other military buildings. No Happiness or Production penalty for being wounded. Your civilians can go into neutral territory. They use sacrifice and oppression to further their goals, often earning the distrust of the other Clans.
