Northgard update for 15 February 2024

v3.3.27.36556-beta

Balancing

Following the first changes we’ve introduced regarding Ox and Lynx, we kept working on the part we wanted to tweak on those two clans specifically.
[expand type=details]

Ox

_Since our rework of military unit camp bonuses, Ox was weakened by the change on the Warriors, so we want to give it this strength back.

We also globally want to reward a more aggressive playstyle, making earnings like Warcraft stronger, but only rewarding fighting and no longer passive XP production._

• Military Training
  (in addition to existing bonus)
  Each camp upgrade provides an additional +5% Attack Power to the associated unit
• Ferocious Charge
  Has been changed to only focus on Warriors but make their weapon forge entirely free.
• Warcraft
  Lore and Fame is now only gained on kills, but the values have been increased.
  50% of Military XP converted into Lore - instead of 30% previously.
  20% of Military XP converted into Fame - instead of 10% previously.

Lynx

_With those new changes we tried to make Lynx start a bit more comfortable, especially its early clearing, giving it more ways to remain outside its territory without being penalized for it.

We also wanted to reaffirm Mielikki’s role as master huntress, making her less related to managing the clan economy and being inside your territory, and giving her instead more reasons to be outside in the wild hunting with her lynxes._

Start-with

• Hunters have a native +10% production bonus.

Lore

• Spoils of Plenty
  The lures can now be placed from the building menu and no longer require Mielikki to do it.

(The +10% production bonus to Hunters on Lures is removed because it is now a global start-with)

Fame

• Fame 200 - Mythical lure
  The mythical lure can now be placed from the building menu and no longer requires Mielikki to do it.
  Each animal kill decreases the next Feast cost by -7.5% - instead of -5% previously.

Path of the hunter

• Caring Sibling
  The heal on Brundr and Kaelinn now triggers outside your territory if Mielikki is in the zone with them.

• Sibling Rivalry
  Brundr food production now works everywhere and no longer just inside your territory.

• The Wise One
  Mielikki lore production is no longer restricted to your territory only.
