9/13/2023 0 Comments Northgard guide![]() I’m not sure Ben Franklin had a chance to play Northgard. It’s the most reliable way to earn Kröwns outside of a Marketplace or Trading Post. For that reason, a Longship Dock is one of the first buildings you should craft as soon as you can fit one on a coast tile. Northgard emulates this importance and really puts a burden on raiding to sustain your monetary resources. Most notably, perhaps, was their tenacity on the battlefield and explorative nature. This will give you additional time to react to your adversaries. Each tile can hold 3 to 5 buildings and 3 to 4 tiles should be more than enough for a great portion of the early game.Īs a bonus detail, try to maintain a border of neutral tiles. Additionally, just because you uncovered a tile, you don’t need to spend the resources to claim it as your own. Rather than wasting very finite manpower in having your scout galavanting all over the map, they are almost always better utilized to gather food or wood. Regrettably, I may be bursting that bubble when I say, don’t do that. Following a ‘knowledge is power’ sentiment, having visibility of the entire map seems like a no-brainer goal. Scouting is not only vital but, within Northgard, can also be fun. That leads us straight into the next tip… Don’t Spread Yourself Too Thin When done, make sure you convert them back to more useful roles for your budding clan. So when I say scout thoughtfully, it is worth it to pick and choose where the scouts go. Rather than walk, they run to undiscovered tiles! One somewhat hidden tip that I stumbled across is the fact that if you manually control your scouts they are much more efficient. Well, if left to their own devices, they walk off and do so quite randomly. Once you convert one or two village people into scouts, they take off in every which direction trying to uncover the map. One of the first buildings you have access to is a Scout Camp. To take control of the tile, you must first explore it with a scout and then defeat any potential enemies before ultimately claiming it as your own. On each tile, there may be a dominant resource such as a forest, lake, or ruins. If you haven’t noticed already, Northgard’s maps are tile-based. I will say making sure that everyone is fed, warm, and healthy will go a long way! Scout Thoughtfully There are many ways to ensure that your clan is happy so I won’t dive into all of them here. First and foremost, the happiness of your clans dictates the growth rate, with an additional factor on your Town Hall’s upgrade status. This rate is dependent on the two factors. Your population grows at a set rate automatically. Northgard’s population growth is similar to Banished, another game I recently got into. In Northgard you are unable to simply queue up 20 villagers and give them a waypoint directly to the nearby forest. Spamming workers/peasants/villagers/civilians to start gathering resources would give you a potentially insurmountable competitive advantage. ![]() ![]() In virtually every RTS game I’ve ever played, it was imperative that you boost your economy early on. ![]()
