Northgard Battlegrounds

About this game

Choose one of the renowned clans of Northgard and raise your Townhall on empty lands! Build and expand your settlement, shape your strategy, harness the Gods’ favor, and prepare your warband for the battles to come. Face rival players through asynchronous battles, where your clan will challenge others and defend its own strength. Only the most cunning Warchiefs will lead their clan to glory.





Shape your village with strategic precision. Each turn, decide how your settlement evolves. Place new buildings, gather resources, and develop your economy while forging synergies between your structures and your warband.

Your settlement’s layout is your greatest weapon. Construct economic buildings near resources to boost their production, raise military structures to recruit warriors, and build mythical sites to unleash powerful creatures on the battlefield! In Northgard Battlegrounds, every placement shapes your clan’s strength in combat. Plan wisely, your warriors will reap the benefits when the battle begins.





The Old Gods still watch over Northgard, and their blessings can reshape the fate of your clan. Choose divine powers that influence your strategy and transform the way your settlement and warband interact.

Combine blessings with your village layout and unlock powerful synergies that strengthen your path to domination. As fate shifts with each new choice, adapt your strategy and refine your build. No two runs unfold the same way, and every blessing brings new ways to empower your warband before the horns sound.





At the end of each round, the clans are ready to fight. Warbands clash in dynamic auto-battles where your strategy unfolds before your eyes. Your settlement layout, your blessings, and every decision you made now reveal their true impact on the battlefield.

You command the strategy, your warriors fight for glory. Strengthen your warband, defeat rival clans and the creatures of Northgard, and prove that your clan deserves to rule the battlegrounds! Because in the end, only one clan will stand.
