Shiro Games have released another new DLC pack for their Viking strategy game, Northgard.
The Himminbrjotir, Clan of the Ox DLC adds the titular Viking clan to the game’s already fairly extensive roster. The clan is led by Torfin, a powerful warchief that can upgrade himself by scavenging for ancient relics in ancestral battlegrounds.
The Ox Clan’s warriors live up to their name, and have larger, stronger, hardier, and more productive units, but everything requires more food and houses hold fewer people. You can find a trailer below.
You can find a rundown of the new DLC (via Steam) below:
Himminbrjotir: The Clan of the Ox
Description
Led by Torfin, an ancient leader who returned to help his progeny, it is known for its tremendous might and unrelenting devotion to its ancestors. While they may not be the fastest starters, once they’ve gained some momentum, they can crush anyone and anything in their way.
Starting Bonuses
- Your Warchief is the powerful Torfin.
- Torfin can find Ancestral Equipment from Ancient Battlegrounds and equip them to become even stronger.
- Your units are tougher, larger and eat 10% more than the other clans.
- Your units have a +15% attack power and defence bonus.
- Specialized civilian units have a +30% base production bonus, except loremasters.
- Buildings can hold only one unit, and houses hold less people.
Warchief
An imposing and unpredictable figure, with unmatched strength and an arsenal of Ancestral Equipment that served only to enhance his already devastating array of attacks, Torfin was considered by those who had not had the misfortune of crossing his path in battle to be an embodiment of tall tales and hearsay.
Now, having led the Ox Clan to becoming one of the most feared and respected in all of Northgard, there are few who question his legitimacy as he lies dormant, awaiting the day that his people call upon him and his immense power once more.
Himminbrjotir, Clan of the Ox is available for $4.99.
Northgard is available on Windows PC, Linux, and Mac (all via Steam).
