Northgard - Gardariki, Clan of the Hippogriff

The Clan of the Hippogriff

From Southern Lands, Sindri, eldest of Brok and Eitria, returns clad in fire and steel, his twin hammers echoing both legacy and defiance. A figure of both might and mastery, bringing with him the legacy of the forge and the discipline of distant Kingdoms. Thus rises the Clan of the Hippogriff, where ancient Norse spirit meets the tempered structure of the South.

Main Features

The Varangian Guard

The Varangian Guard stands as the backbone of Gardariki’s military might. Their dedicated military structure evolves through the Sentry Camp, which can be upgraded into the Varangian Camp. These elite warriors are as enduring as they are deadly.

The Brazier

More than a building, the Brazier is the heart of Gardariki’s identity. Burning wood to empower every aspect of the clan’s development. By feeding the flames, all resources productions are bolstered. Norse traditional feasts are rekindled through wood rather than food, amplifying the effects of all active Braziers.

The Forge

Sindri’s legacy as a craftsman is embodied through the Forge, a specialized building used exclusively by him. Through it, he can gear up military units and forge the clan’s powerful relic.

The Relic

Forged in the heart of the clan’s warfoundry, the Hippogriff’s Relic unlocks a powerful catapult, capable of striking enemy zones one tile away. Though modest in range, its raw destructive force makes it a formidable siege tool, perfect for pressuring opponents from a safe distance.

All in all, it has to be said that Northgard is an extremely promising premise. It has a good storyline with challenging campaigns. While there are some minor hiccups here and there, overall, it's an awesome addition to the RTS genre.

Northgard is a surprising, elegant RTS that's laden with a very dull story.
