Northgard Review - [A Strategic Slower-Paced RTS]

[@whitebenoit]

If you like northguard, the developers, Shiro games, also made the "Dune : Spice wars" RTS. It is similar with territories, different ways to win,... and overall seems to be another attempt at making this style of slow paced RTS. While I haven't played northguard, I did played multiples games of Dune and it is quite good even if a bit overwhelming in the late game (and could use some Quality of Life to reduce the micromanaging of the late game). Also Dune is very much a 1v1v1v1 game where a lot of the fun is the social aspect of the multiplayer mexican stand-off. I also played with AI, it is fun but also lack this social element.

I completely forgot about that game, thanks ! Is it in a solid state now ? I seem to remember people saying it was quite buggy when it came out.

[@whitebenoit]

@@MrMattThor I only played it recently so I can't talk for the state at launch but I haven't got any notice in 70 hours of play. For what I can tell, the game seems to be in "long term" development/maintenance as they are only releasing balance patches. So most of the egregious bugs should have been removed.

You should try polytopia, it even has a "viking" tribe called Bardur.(Is bardur a real name in Iceland?)

[@MrMattThor]

Oh man thank for reminding me ! Got that game on my phone. Bardur is not a real name but Baldur and Bárður are pretty common here.

@@MrMattThor how do you spell that is like in Swedish bardur or is it a bit different.(By the way could you make a video on that so i can see how good you are(i play it sometimes(no I mean in most rest between classes in school))

[@GillarDumleBakomDinDörr]

Which tribe do you think is the best(i think the yâddak mjusic video is so good I have it as Profile picture)

[@MrMattThor]

@@JagGillarFudge yeah I bet it's pretty close to the Swedish pronunciation. I'll def think about making a video on it. Wanted to try it on pc anyway.
