Northgard

Description

The most alien of all clans, the Dragons follow ancient customs and embrace freakish traditions. They use sacrifice and oppression to further their goals, often earning the distrust of the other Clans.

Starting Bonus

- Your civilians can go into neutral territory.
- No Happiness or Production penalty for being wounded.
- You start with a Sacrificial Pyre. You can build a Dragonkin Altar instead of other military buildings.
- You start with 2 Thralls. You can buy thralls from your Longship Dock

Oppression

Oppression is an important aspect of the clan’s economy. Their thralls, like regular civilians, can travel in neutral territory, carry out basic tasks and fight..
Thralls can be purchased from your longship dock and after getting the Capture Lore, you’ll be able to oppress other faction's people.
But if by any chance your regular population falls under your Thrall population, they will rise against you!

Sacrifices and Dragon Essence Gauge

The Clan of the Dragon starts each game with an already built exclusive building: the Sacrificial Pyre. You can use this building to sacrifice your people in order to honor the gods and gain their favors, unlocking various bonuses!

Dragonkin and their Altar

The only military camp you’ll be able to build is the Dragonkin Altar where you can create Dragonkins, ferocious military units, that are far more powerful than warriors.

Led by Signy, the Spear Maiden, the cunning members of the clan have little regard for fame or honour and would rather use guerilla tactics to dominate their enemies than open warfare.

The clan’s warchief is available at the beginning of the game and, while her martial skills are slightly better than a Warrior’s at first, she will grow as seasons go by, becoming more powerful and unlocking new abilities in the process. Her most powerful skill, “Scorched Earth”, can only be unlocked once Signy becomes an adult, and will allow her to burn down a tile, providing attack bonuses to her units and buildings.
