So you bought the excellent Viking game Northgard and have been playing it for a while now. You keep looking at those locked up clans in the menu. You stare at them, wondering if they are worth the investment; if you should get one, two or none of them. Confused and panicked, you ask yourself "what should I do?!" Worry not, for we have put together a small guide about them so you know exactly which Northgard clan will be suited to your needs.
The base game offers six clans to choose from: Stag, Goat, Wolf, Raven, Bear and Boar; and the add-ons will get you up to six more at the time of writing: Snake, Dragon, Horse, Kraken Ox, and the recently released Lynx clan which is especially quite fun.
Each one of these clans have different bonuses and for that reason, their play style and strategy are a little different so it's worth breaking down exactly what each does and what playstyles they support. It's worth noting a some of the newer clans can overlap with vanilla factions, although that doesn't mean they don't have their own unique style as well.
