Hello warchiefs,

Northgard Definitive Edition is available now. This free major update brings brand new content, and a host of changes, improvements and community requests to the base game!

**To celebrate the release, Northgard Definitive Edition and its DLC are up to 60% off their price! **

---

Now available

The Definitive Edition now includes the base game, the Cross of Vidar expansion pack, 3 additional clans, "the art of Northgard" digital artbook and is priced at $34.99

What does this mean for you?

• If you own Northgard but don’t own some of the DLC mentioned above, they are now integrated into your game as a free update.

• If you own Northgard and all of the DLC mentioned above, you are not impacted by these changes.

• If you don’t already own Northgard, you can buy it now with a special launch discount!

More content, like the Valhalla biome and Frostbite Bifrost mode have also been added to the game. We covered these new additions and more in our previous blog.

But we saved some surprises for today!

We heard your requests for more skins when the shop update was announced, so we've designed some new ones:

• ** Rig, the King of all clans**, returns to the Clan of the Stag for a new fight!

• Hagen also returns to lead the Clan of the Raven.

• The leaders of the Southern Kingdom during the Cross of Vidar saga will also be available! This includes Lothaire, Carloman and a new look for Nominoe!

We’ve also made some changes to the Map Editor, as we know there are quite a few vikings out there that enjoy making special maps for others to enjoy! From today’s update scripts can be made independently from a map. This means the same script can be played on different maps in custom games. You can read more about this change in the changelog below under the Mods sections.

Others

Stag

Einherjar was a bit behind their paired Warriors. We forgot to update them when we changed Warrior’s stats.

Units

• Einherjar

• Stats have changed: 60/10/6 -> 70/11/5

Raven

Raven is a good scout, but slowing them down a bit should be better for the game, especially for early rush strategies.

Knowledge

• Rangers

• Scouting speed has been reduced: 50% -> 25%

• Scouts now consume more food: 0% -> 50%

Bear

Bear is our beginner clan if you struggle during winter. We cannot change its identity, but we are trying to give it a direction that should be a clear clan assistant. You can now freely use Borgild and/or Kaija to help your clan. They are no longer needed for your economy.

Clan

• Fame 200

• You gain +3 Fame per enemy unit killed in a zone with Borgild or Kaija.

• Shield Bearer Camp increases zone production by 10%

• Fame 500

• For every 100 Fame you’ve earned, your military units gain +1.5% attack power.

• Kaija can now enter enemy territory

Boar

We all remember the Relic when it was at +10 and it was a forced relic to make. So we don’t want to go back to this. But we are making it more rewarding to build it. There is no more cost to summon, you have full control of the Giant Boar and it can even go outside your territory. We hope that it will give it a small place in some games.

Clan

• Relic: Cost to summon Giant Boar 150 Lore -> No cost

• Fame 200:

• Knowledge given by this fame counts towards blessings

Units

• Giant Boar

• You can control it during combat

• Can go to an uncolonized adjacent zone of your territory

• Stats have changed: 90/11/11 -> 120/16/12

Snake

In our understanding, Snake never mines. That is fine to us, but it is a bit too easy to not do it. So we wanted to delay it a bit. Also, it will be affected by other nerfed lore like Field Ration.

• Scorched Earth will now give less minerals, ~~3 ~~-> 2

Horse

_Horse, Horse, Horse. A lot of changes to try to give it an economic direction without killing its versatility build. We agreed with the fact that chiefs have too much work to do in your territory, so we sped up everything they do. You should be able to do other things with your chiefs now. _

Clan

• Ruins and Shipwreck provide -50% -> -25% Krown.

Knowledge

• Ancestral Influence

• Replaces Medecine

• Great Tower

• Upgraded Tower becomes Great Tower, you have 2 free upgrades tower. Upkeep is the same as an upgraded tower.

• Volund Fire

• Increases tools production by 5% -> 7.5%

Units

• Warchiefs

• Increases Mining speed, forging speed and building speed by 20% -> 40%

• Building Speed of Etria increased to 30% -> 50%

• Forging Speed of Brok increased to 30% -> 50%

Kraken

We agree with you that Kraken's current growth loop is a bit frustrating. So we sped up the spectral warrior recruitment, making it less punishing to not produce villagers. Also, by investigating the Kraken loop, we saw that Ràn's Blessing spectral’s growth wasn't working properly.

Clan

• We increased the speed of Spectral arrival. They should appear twice as fast.

• Relic - We added a protection to attacks from the sea (Mercenaries, Ghost Event)

Knowledge

• Endless Tides

• Pop growth and Spectral growth increased by 20%

• Ràn's Blessing

• Spectral growth is working correctly, now gives +20%

Units

• Seeress

• Produces +3 -> +3.5 Wyrd

• You can recruit a Valkyrie while being in negative Wyrd

Rat

We understand that keeping your pyres up can be overwhelming, so we are trying to give you more space by giving you a bit more time.

Clan

• Losing a unit gives you 20s -> 30s of purification time

• Earning military experience gives you 25% more purification time

Hounds

We’ve heard that Hounds is in a relatively good place. However, we are not happy with the sustain it has during combat, specifically against players. Also, we want players to choose more carefully which zerkers should be prioritized in terms of level to get lvl3 -> lvl 7. We didn’t change its clearing, but in mass combat you should be more careful about your zerkers.

• Carcass gives 15% more experience; resources given are unchanged

• We have reduced the amount of experience given by kills: 25% -> 20%

• Experience needed to get level 2: 250 -> 225

Turtle

Turtle is a beast when we talk about relationships. It can gain too much fame in a short amount of time. We are nerfing it a bit.

Clan

• The clan earns +30 -> 20 Fame for each positive level of relation with other clans and factions.

Hippogriff

Hippogriff is a monster in mid late game with its Varangian, at least that’s what we wanted, but we didn’t want it to go only Varangian. Varangians should be an elite squad: you convert some and work with other units. So we reduced the camp needed to get some, but we increased the scaling cost of the Varangians. We didn’t want to touch the “quality” of the units, but make it harder to stack them. So you should be able to make fewer Varangians.

Knowledge

• Ember of Prosperity

• Brazier produces +0.75 -> 0.5 Krown, +1.5 -> 1 during Ignite

Units

• Varangian

• Camp gives more space for them: 2 -> 3

• Their scaling cost has been increased: 60 + (15 * nb) -> 60 + (45 * nb)

Balancing

Following your feedback, we’ve made some balance adjustments to the Snake and the Horse! We heard your concerns about the Snake having too much of an advantage, so some of its skills (Rapacious and Cloaked) have been scaled back to make fights fairer for opponents. As for the Horse, we’ve implemented community suggestions to give it a stronger start (and it also received a nice little surprise)!”!

If you want to have the details, read more below

what's next?

Hey Warchiefs! After a month of experimentation with you, it is finally time to deliver the Community Update to all of the community. Thank you all for your participation and, if you haven't followed our most recent blog posts, have a read before hoping into the game

---

Major Rework

---

All rework has been addressed in previous blog post, if you’re interested in one topic in particular, be sure to check them!

New combat reworked

The “power triangle” has been revamped to make multi-unit armies viable again, with shared bonuses across all unit types. Major tweaks affect all clans, including a fully reworked Legion path, a unique military path for the Clan of the Dragon, and a new southern Kingdom forge to support both mono and mixed armies.

Lobby reworked and ranked gamemode

2v2 is back in Quick and Ranked games, giving players a long-requested competitive mode in the new lobby system. A new pick system has also been added: clans are now chosen one by one in team modes (2v2 and 3v3) to improve strategy and fairness. In FFA and Duel, picks are now hidden to avoid last-second countering.

New visuals

All military units from both Northern clans and Southern kingdoms have received visual upgrades, following the improvements made to Warchiefs and specialized workers. Expect higher-resolution models, new animations, and more personality in each fighter. Battles now feel more intense with improved combat effects, especially in large engagements. Feedback is welcome as we polish the final visuals!

New conquests

---

3 new conquests has been added, linked to the clan of the Hounds

Thank you all for following this journey for 7 years onward! We know there are still a lot of things to address, so be sure to stay tuned until then. We'll see you later for the release of the next Kingdom! -Northgard Team

https://store.steampowered.com/app/466560/Northgard/

Greeting Vikings!

After the open beta period, we are now ready to provide all the modifications we tested to all players. Thanks again to all the players who participated in the beta, reported issues, shared their feedback, participated in the discussions, and helped us with the update!!

The main focus of this patch is around military unit and fight strategy to make all units more viable than only focusing on warriors. In this idea, this patch brings new unit abilities, forges, military path, but also some ranked change, some visual improvement, new conquest for the Clan of the Hounds, some QoL and a bunch of bug fixes.

Let’s check them out!

v3.6.90.41614

Military changes

Trinity

The first big change for this update is to really assume the trinity of base military units. Now in 1v1 a shield kills an axe that kills a warrior then kills a shield. We wanted this change to push you to play more with further units instead of only focusing on only one. We don’t forget clans that play only with one kind of unit and made some changes to avoid them to be left behind. Same for kingdom clans, they are not affected directly by this trinity change but we bring them a little change that will help them to stay on course. Here what we changed:

**Warrior ** Def 5 > 4 New ability Piercing Strike: Attacks partially ignore defense if the target has higher defense Weapon forge: Doesn’t give charge but break also the projectile resistance Shield Bearer Def 8 > 7 Weapon forge: Gain charge ability Axes Thrower Attack 11.5 > 12

Military building upgrades for vikings clan now share 50% of the stats to all other military units (except for Warchiefs, valkyrie and ghost).

Military unit cost now scale back as before, each unit increase the price of all unit by 6 krowns instead of 3 for other unit type.

Kingdom gained a new military upgrade, Armor shred: unit with it has a chance to break the defense and projectile defense of his target for 2 seconds.

Military Path

With this change, we felt that Legion will not fit well with the trinity update and the clan of the Dragon was really too much impacted. So we modified the Legion path and we created a new unique path for the clan of the Dragon. For the Dragon, we also rework some of their start with and knowledge to work well with the new path. Here what we’ve done:

Legion Lvl 1 - 50 xp]Foundations of war - Next military camps upgrade is free, and max warband generate Military Experience (10 max) Lvl 2 - 500 xpShared Ration - Basic military units Food consumption is reduced by 5% for each type of basic military unit in the zone. Lvl 3 - 1500 xpVeterans - Increase the bonus from military building upgrades to other units by 50% Lvl 4 - 3000xpValhalla calling - When on a battleground zone, units have a boost of power and attack speed of 25% (instead of 30%)

Leadership Lvl 1 - 50 xpBodyguard - Warchief produce 1 Military Experience Lvl 2 - 500 xpArmed Wing of the Clan - Each military forge grant 5% more health to your Warchief

DRAGON

Dragon Military Path

With the rework of legion and other military change, all 3 path didn’t fit well for this clan, so here his new path with a little particularity where from lvl 2 to 4, you will have to choose between two bonuses:

• Lvl 1 - 50xp

• ** Blood and Chains -** Thralls and captured units generate Military Experience (max 10)

• ** Lvl 2 - 500 xp**

• ** Draconic Haste -** Draconics units with an upgraded weapon gain 15% movement speed OR

• ** Draconic Smithing -** Whirlwind forge gain 50% more range and Battlecry ability gain 100% more range

• ** Lvl 3 - 1250 xp**

• ** Goldforged Pact -** Draconic units cost 20% less krowns OR

• Infernal Pact - Draconic Nightmares doesn’t cost Dragon Essence

• ** Lvl 4 - 2000 xp**

• ** Guardian’s Pact -** Draconic Nightmares absorb 30% of the damage dealt to Dragonkin OR

• ** Infernal Whirlwind -** Whirlwind deals 80% damage

• Lvl 5 - 3000 xp

• Draconic Rage - Surtr enrage all other Draconic units in the zone, giving them 30% attack for 5 seconds (cost 5 Dragon Essence)

Dragon rework

• Fame

• Fame 200 - Each capture give fame depending on the unit captured

• Start-with

• Thrall production: when assigned to a building they do not increase the specialized worker production anymore, instead they produce 50% of the specialized worker production

• Thrall formula cost: The decrease cost is now in percentage

• Neutral thrall: Each neutral thrall give a different amount of essence once sacrificed

• Kobold = 2

• Dwarf/Myrkalfar = 3

• Jotunn = 4

• Knowledges

• Blood, Sweat & Tears: You can’t assign one more thrall on upgraded production building, instead Thrall increase specialized worker production by 10%

• Thrall Trade: The price of Thralls decreases 5% faster.

• Draconic Frenzy: Once more than one unit is on a tile, the attack bonus is split by half for each unit on the same tile (once 6 units are on the same tile the attack bonus is set to 0%)

• Draconic Rage: All draconic units on the same tile as Surt can capture enemy units.

Ranked

A lot of people were asking for some new stuff here, so welcome pick system and welcome back 2v2. We also add blind clan selection for duel ranked and FFA only.

**For 3v3 - **the first team will pick 1 clan, then team 2 will pick 2 clans, then team 1 will pick 2 clans and team 2 will pick its last clan

For 2v2 - he first team will pick 1 clan, then team 2 picks 2 clans and team 1 picks its last clan.

Quality of Life

We wanted to add a little thing that could help all players to manage their civilians more easily and allow more versatility in them when choosing who is going to build or repair a building. So now, all specialized workers can directly be sent to build or repair a building without having to convert them back into villagers first! Looking at you Rat and Turtle players, enjoy this change! We also make some little adjustment on other clan, lets check them:

Kraken

• Ràn’s Blessing now give 20% pop growth to Spectral Warriors

• Valkyries cost 100 krown instead of 120

**Woodcutter’s Lodge **

• Stone upgrade cost is now10 -> 5

Lighthouse

• Building cost is now 100 -> 50 except for the Clan of the Raven

Bifrost

• Modified the UI and text from portal bonuses to make them more understandable when you can choose one of them.

Hound Conquest

With this patch we also introduce you to 3 new conquests for the Clan of the Hounds!

No Cost, No Mercy In the battle, all military experience gains are increased and all military units are free! Yes, free Torfin too. All your army will need more food to stand, but every foes, animals, even other human kills will provide you some good rations. Meat is meat right? Right???

Berserker’s Wrath The four spirit animals will guide you in this battle. Every few months, all Berserkers will be transformed into a specific one depending on the Animal season. All clan can only recruit Berserkers

Moonlit Betrayal Some sneaky werewolves are hidden in your population and they will bite healthy villagers to join their ranks. Find them before all your villagers are cursed, and send them out of your territory or prepare to fight them before the moon rises!

v3.6.81.41449-public-beta

Greetings Vikings!

With this patch, we changed some value for the clan of the Dragon, the 2nd level of legion (hoping you'll enjoy this one) AND we finally introduce the conquest mission for the Clan of the Hound!

This patch might be the last one with new content for you to try but be sure to send your feedback in the dedicated channels so that we can still adapt the numbers and other stats affected by the changes.

New conquest

---

You can now test the three special missions linked to the Clan of the Hounds. Those are:

• No Cost, No Mercy

• Berserker's Wrath

• Moonlit Betrayal

Changes

---

Military path

_The last proposition for the 2nd level wasn’t really good for the path, as you said it was "meh tier" and wasn’t useful everytime. So here we are with a new proposition: _

Legion

• 2nd level → 500 xp

• Converting a military unit into another one cost 30% less kröwn.

Knowledge

• Kraken - Ran’s Blessing now grant 20% growth speed to Spectral Warriors

Clan of the Dragon

---

• Blood, Sweat & Tears - Bonus production granted by Thrall on upgraded building 10% instead of 15%

• Blood and Chains - Thrall military experience production 0.75 instead of 1

• Thrall cost formula - With the fix of the decreasing cost, 15% was better than the old decreasing price system, so we set the value a 10% (same decreasing time as before from 80 to 40, but faster than before if they cost more than that)

• Draconic haste - Since the bonus doesn’t grant movespeed to all draconic unit we will set the bonus at 15% instead of 10%

Others

---

Bugfixes

• Dragon - Fixed Thrall trade not reducing the increase cost of thrall by 20

• Dragon - Fixed price of thrall not decreasing correctly at a certain point

• Dragon - Fixed Capture UI not displayed correctly on Surtr

• Kraken/Raven - Fixed Mercenary/Valkyrie forge not granting 5% HP with second level of Leadership path

Known Issues

v3.6.80.41373-public-beta

_Greetings Vikings!

Some changes for the Dragon clan, Kingdom and legion this week, let us know what you think about them! We see your proposition to create a specific military path for the Kingdom, it can be a solution but we're running out of time to test this for this patch. We hope the new changes on legion will fit better with the kingdom clan._

Global Change

---

Military path

Legion

Some bonuses of the path weren't really easy to use for most of the clans. The second bonus was indeed the same as the first one and asked too many conditions to be really interesting and optimised. It also didn’t fit well with Kingdom clans. The third bonus was too weak in comparison with other bonuses.

• 2nd level → 500 xp

• Supply Malus is decreased by 10% for each unit kind in a zone (max 50%)

• 3rd level → 1500 xp

• Increase the shared bonuses to upgraded military building by 50%

• Kingdom will share 50%, Viking 100%

Others

• Shared bonuses on viking upgraded military building give 50% to other unit instead of 100%

• Kingdom break armor extension : 30% chance to trigger instead of 20%, 20% break armor instead of 15%

---

Clan of the dragon

---

Military path

• 2nd level → 500 xp choose between

[table equalcells=1]

• Draconics unit with a forged weapon gain 10% move speed

• Whirlwind forge gain 50% more range instead of 10% more chance to trigger

• 4th level → 2000 xp choose between

[table equalcells=1]

• Draconic Nightmares absorb 30% of damage done to Dragonkin (without triggering all forge of all Draconic Nightmares)

• Whirlwind deal 80% of damage instead of 100%

Rework

Unit

• Thrall cost formula : Cost increase for a fixed amount and price decrease by 15% each month

Knowledge

• Draconic Rage : Allow all Draconic units on the same tile as Surtr to capture units. Captured unit have a chance to be a converted into a Dragonkin if there is place in the Warband

---

Bugfixes

• Dragon - Fixed military path notification not displayed

• Dragon - Fixed save not keeping player choice in the military path

• Dragon - Fixed capturing a berserker keeping their abilities and UI

• Dragon - Fixed military path UI info for other players when reaching the last level

Known Issues

• Text issue on break armor forge of the kingdom

v3.6.74.41286-public-beta

_Greetings Vikings!

Thanks for your return on the new Dragon path and their rework. Again they are really appreciated. With all your feedback we will propose to you this week some changes to try to make it even better. Let’s find what we tried this week just under this :) _

---

Clan of the Dragon

Adding choice in the military path

_We agreed that the new path was a bit straight forward without having choice and it was a little bit annoying, so instead of changing the legion path with the new one (we felt that not a really good solution because the path has one more level and both guardian and Leadership are not the best for this clan) we prefer to propose further choices on each level except the first and last one.

Concerning the fact that the first level does not give a bonus, we think that with the other changes on the clan, adding another little buff will be too much, in addition, this new path gets one more level so we find that compensates for this._

• 2nd level → 500 xp choose between:

• Draconics unit gain 10% move speed

• Whirlwind forge gain 10% more chance to trigger, and Battlecry forge gain 100% range

• 3rd level → 1250 xp choose between

• Reduce the base cost of Draconic Unit by 20%

• Draconic Nightmare doesn't cost draconic essence

• 4th level → 2000 xp choose between

• Draconic Nightmares absorb 30% of damage done to Dragonkin (without triggering all forge of all Draconic Nightmares)

• Whirlwind deal 100% of damage

• 5th level → 3000 xp

• New ability on Surtr

• Cost 5 essence to increase attack power by 30% during 5 seconds for all other draconic units in the zone.

Rework

_We made a little change on Blood, Sweat & Tears, let us know what you think of it.

Concerning Draconic Frenzy, the nerf in early game is effectively too problematic, so we are proposing you something new, where the bonus decreases the more units you have on a same tile to zero. We think that it could give more versatility to this knowledge during all the game and be used more in the idea to be specific situational._

Unit

• Thrall now produces lore and fame when assigned to Longship Dock.

• Thrall cost formula : change the formula to buy Thralls from a flat amount to a percentage

Fame

• Fame 200 : You now gain fame depending on the unit captured.

Knowledge

• Blood, Sweat & Tears : You can assign 1 extra Thrall to production buildings. If the building is upgraded, Thralls increase specialized workers production by 15%

• Draconic Frenzy : Give 100% attack for a unique unit. For each unit on the same tile as another, the bonus is divided by 2. (Once 6 unit are on a same tile the bonus will be set at 0%)

• Draconic Rage : Allow all Draconic unit on the same tile as Surtr to capture unit

---

Others

Military Path

Leadership

_This path is all about your Warchief and being able to clear more easily so we didn’t agree on the fact that all units should give 2 military experience because the other path did that (except Ox, but I mean, they have other tools for that). This path will earn military experience by clearing so that is why we want to keep the passive gain at 1 for each unit, but we agreed that not having at least 1 military experience just by having the chief alone wasn’t fair.

Giving attack and defense for each forge was a little bit too much, but having more survivability with life looks like to be enough and fit well with the fundamentals of this path so we will keep this._

• 1st level → 50 xp

• The Warchief will produce 1 military experience alone on a tile

• 2nd level → 500 xp

• Each forge will give 5% more life

Balancing

_Following some feedback concerning the balancing for mono army against mix army we want to roll back the way cost units increase to see if this change can bring back the mono army into the ring.

Concerning Kingdom, we tried on our side to share the upgraded bonuses, but as expected this is an enormous buff for the kingdom, let us explain why. When a viking clan can upgrade 6 military camps, Kingdom can upgrade 12, not sure if we have to explain more than that why it’s not a good solution for them. However, we agreed that the kingdom needed something, and after thinking about it, they are missing one thing that we think will make the difference : a break armor effect. So we want to try to introduce a new military forge replacing the slow forge with this one._

• Krown cost for military unit will increase at the same amount for each kind of unit (so after converting your first warrior, the next axe thrower will cost 36 instead of 33)

• New Kingdom military forge

• Break 15% of defense and projectile defense for 2 sec

• 20% occurence change

---

Bugfixes

• ** Building -** Fixed Destroyed upgraded military building granting upgrade bonus a second a second time

Known Issues

• Dragon - "Thrall trade" knowledge description is not accurate

• Dragon - Notification for the new military path are not working

v3.6.69.41192-public-beta

_Greetings Vikings!

Thanks for all your feedback on the rework of the Military path, forge and upgrade. They help us a lot! We are near a good version to give to all players but, we still feel that some point of Legion need to be tweaked! The usual feedback posts will stay available even if less considered in future updates.

In this new update we are going to try new things for Legion AND Leadership. These changes are made to reinforce the identity of both paths : Leadership about your Warchief in early and mid game, and Legion about your army around mid and late game!

But this is not the only point we are trying to find a solution. It is time to step into a new phase of the beta, less focused on the global changes and more on specific changes ... Looking at you Dragon!

With the reworked legion path, the clan ends up not fitting to any of the classic military path, that’s why we want to introduce one specific to the clan. At the same time, we also want to modify some knowledge to answer some doubts some of you expressed regarding the Knowledges and Start-With for the clan. That way we hope to make them more useful/used for you! We let you test all these new changes and give us feedback, nothing is definitive at this point so don’t be too dramatic if you find some changes that aren’t balanced yet :) _

This unique path will basically work as a normal path. You will need to gain military experience to unlock new levels. The only difference is that there is one more level.

1st level → 50 xp

• Thralls population generate military Experience (max 10) 2nd level → 500 xp

• Draconics unit gain 10% move speed 3rd level → 1250 xp

• Reduce the base cost of Dragonkin and Draconic Nightmares by 20% 4th level → 2000 xp

• Draconic Nightmares doesn’t require Essence 5th level → 3000 xp

• Draconic Nightmares absorb 20% of damage done to Dragonkin

Rework

We noticed some specificities of the clan were neither used nor…useful (according to you). For example, the mechanics around the thralls were often abandoned mid-game and those poor souls ended up only gathering food instead of working on your production buildings. We’ll try to address that via some changes to make them more efficient for the clan

Start With

Thralls - Gather 50% of the same resources as the specialized worker of the building they are assigned at.

Fame

Fame 200 - You now gain 5 fame for each capture.

Knowledge

• Blood, Sweat & Tears - You can assign 1 extra Thrall to production buildings. If the building is upgraded, they benefit from the production bonus.

• Draconic Frenzy - 30% attack power for a military unit with no other unit of the same kind in their zone.

• Capture has taken Defensive strategy place

• Military Strategy has taken Capture place [table noborder=1]Old placementNew placement

Military Path

Legion

We agreed on some point that the first and third levels are too strong right now. So here are the changes we want to try.

• 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

We agreed that this path may be a little bit below against Legion so we want to add a little change to make it more impactful in early and mid game and strengthen the identity of the path a little more.

• 2nd level → 500 xp

• Each forge will give 5% more life, attack and defense to the Warchief

Balancing

_Following some previous feedback, here are some more changes on previous iterations of the Beta _

• 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)
