Ohoï Warchiefs!
We thought we'd share a few details about the upcoming Clan of the Snake and more precisely on its exclusive Warchief: Signy, the Spear Maiden!
Coming with this patch as a DLC, the Clan of the Snake will add a new way of playing Northgard. Lead by Signy, the Spear Maiden, Svafnir’s followers are among the most roguish vikings on Northgard!
Signy, the Clan of the Snake's Warchief
Unlike the other clans, the Clan of the Snake’s progression isn’t reflected by the Fame they’ve reached. Cunning and deceitful, the Snake has little regard for fame or honour. Members of the clan prefer working in the shadows and using guerilla tactics rather than open warfare.
As a consequence, the Clan of the Snake does not get any Fame from its actions in Northgard.
Its pride depends mainly on its warchief, Signy, who is already available at the beginning of each game. During the game, Signy will grow up and gain new abilities:
- Age 15: The Cunning (start of the game).
- Age 16: Pride of the Clan. Signy gains move speed and the ability to attack at range.
- Age 18: Tears of the Earth. Signy gains the ability to walk freely among Northgard’s wildlife (like Skirmishers) and she can use her special ability: Scorched Earth.
Note that each year, Signy will grow stronger and stronger.
The lore tree of the clan will be centered on its abilities to harrass and pressure other players.
As a reminder, next update will bring into Northgard:
- The Clan of the Snake
- The Skirmisher, a special melee military unit, available for all clans
- Balance changes to the Clans and the Victories
IMPORTANT
The Clan of the Snake is a purchasable as a DLC, the rest of the update, including the Skirmisher, is a free update available to all players!
As our main concern is to be sure the community isn't devided, players who do not own the Clan of Svafnir will be able to play with and against players who do!
The Clan will be purchasable for 4.49€.
Finally, we have a release date for you: July, the 19th!
We trully hope you'll have a lot of fun playing with this clan! As we already mentionned in previous announcements, we still have A LOT of things to add to the game in terms of new Clans, new game mechanics, foes, neutral factions, etc...
We'll be back soon with more news! ;)
