Northgard PATCHNOTE #20 - CAMPAIGN BETA


PATCHNOTE #20 - CAMPAIGN BETA

Posted: 01 Feb 2018 06:57 AM PST

Hello Northgardians!

Today, we're incredibly proud to introduce you to the first part of our Campaign mode!


CAMPAIGN MODE - RIG'S SAGA

The first five chapters of Rig's Saga are now available for you to test! As for the servers, you have the possibility to fill out a form, giving you access to a "campaign-beta" version of Northgard.

This BETA will grant you access to the first Act of our campaign! You'll be following Rig, son of the Vikings' High King. The High King is murdered and his REGAL HORN is stolen by a man named HAGEN.This event kickstarts a saga that will take RIG and his right-hand man BRAND through the new continent of NORTHGARD, where he will make new friends and foes and discover a much greater threat than HAGEN, and the reasons behind his father's assassination.

Check out our Campaign Teaser:

You can now fill out this form, and at the end of it, you'll get the code to access the BETA!

At the end of the form, you will get a campaign-beta code, that will allow you to test the beginning of our Campaign :)
Once you get your code:
1- Right click on Northgard on your Steam library
2- Click on Properties
3- Open the BETA tab
4- Enter the code you received and choose "campaign-beta" in the drop-down menu
5- Wait for the Download of the update (you may have to restart Steam)
6- Start Northgard and enjoy the Bgining of Rig's Journey :-)

Any trouble, just follow our "How To" video!

Disclaimer: for now, the campaign is only available in English, but do not worry, it will be translated in many more languages :-)


DEDICATED SERVERS

The dedicated servers are now officially launched (they are now available on the "default" and the "campaign-beta" version)! The Beta we launched two weeks ago allowed us to identify and fix the large majority of bugs that were reported! This is all thanks to you! We had more than 4 000 participants to this BETA :D
=> As always, you're the best ;-)



Disclaimer: We currently have 8 servers at our disposition, each of them can host a few dozen Northgard games at the same time (more or less depending on the number of players in those games).
As we carefully monitor the servers activity, we'll be able to add more servers in case we are going under capacity. If the servers become too crowded despite that, you'll automatically switch to the original host system as a backup!


UPDATE CHANGELOG

As always, we're always trying to make the game better for you, and we changed a few things in this update too! This is available on the default version of the game!
  • Townhalls now harbor 6 villagers, increasing the maximum population when starting a game by 1.
  • Happiness is now display with different colors and texts if you're over or under 3 .
  • When going for Trade Victory, you'll get the amount of Commercial Influence displayed in your resource bar .
  • When trading with other player/AI, information about this whos is trading what with whom is now displayed next to their name.
  • When one of your ally is attacked, the Warning pop-up will now display "Your ally is under attack".
  • When a Raven Clan launches a mercenary raid, every player having scouted the targeted area will now be warned of the launch of this raid.
  • We added Polish language translation (not for the campaign). Other languages will come for the official release.

As always, thank you so much for your support, you've been the best community we could ask for! We trully hope you'll enjoy playing Rig's Saga as much as we loved imagining it!
