Inspired by Nordic mythology, Northgard is a real-time strategy game where a Viking clan tries to take control over a wild continent. The game contains both single-player and multi-player modes, as well as a story-based campaign, with missions of increasing difficulty and complexity. Each map is divided into different regions, with each containing special resources such as iron and stone. Each region, however, can only supports a fixed number of buildings.[1] The game features dynamic seasons. For instance, farms will stop producer food during winter, while the consumption of wood will significantly increase during the same period.[2] In the story, the player plays as Rig, a prince who seeks to avenge the death of his father the High King at the hands of Hagen, the ruthless leader of Clan of the Raven. The young prince will sail to the island of Northgard to fulfill its mission, and in the process it will meet other clans and creatures. At launch, the game features eleven missions. There are four victory conditions for the game's standard play mode, which allows players to combat other clans, controlled either by artificial intelligence or other human players.[3]
