Since Northgard implements semi-random events and world hostility, going back to an earlier save may change where / when Wolves and Draugr invade, which bad event (Rats, Blizzard, Earthquake) comes up, etc. Whenever you're on a tricky mission, save every other month. When you can no longer take another tile, turn your Scout / Warriors into Civilians and get to healing everyone.ġ. With the support of a Warchief, the trio can take down another 6 Wolves (3 and 3 in 2 territories). I usually create a Training Camp and train 2 Warriors. My guide assumes rapid expansion for every mission, so you can either build a Healing Hut to support your Warchief when his health gets low, or a Training camp. This is an especially powerful tactic when you need to expand quickly but can't spare Wood, Krowns, or Villagers.ħ. To accomplish this, attack when one wolf is near the border and the others are on the other side of the tile when the other wolves get close, pull the Chieftan out, and repeat when the wolves have dispersed. Your Chieftan is powerful enough to take two tiles with 3 wolves each by himself / herself.
Never hit your population cap if you can help it.Ħ. When your next villager is at around 55% complete, make a house. Scout one or two more territories which you intend to colonize (more food / forest), always prioritizing the "best" colonization order.ĥ. Scout and colonize the nearest Food source in this order: Field > Hunting Ground > Fish Pond. Make 1 villager a Scout, and at least 1 a Woodcutter, making sure you still produce enough food for colonization.Ĥ. This is the de-facto start I have found to be most successful. Build a Scout Camp and a Woodcutter's Camp at the beginning of every mission. Master the beginning moves by doing them as quickly and efficiently as possible every second you waste in the beginning of a game costs you exponentially later.ģ. Beginning with a simple tip, save as soon as the opening cutscene ends! That way, you can experiment with tricky missions, scout the landscape without intending to finish the mission, and go back to a convenient starting point.Ģ.
