Northgard
Cheat Codes:
------------
Submitted by: David K.
General Extreme Mode Tips:
--------------------------
-=Efficiency=-
1. Be a save-scrub champion. Whenever you’re on a tricky mission, save every other
month. 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. In some levels, you need to do as well
as you possibly can throughout the mission in order to beat it. The idea is to save
as soon as you’ve done a perfect iteration of gameplay; that way, if something happens
in the next couple months, you have a ‘near-perfect” save to go back to.
2. Time is of the essence. You are allowed to relax in Skirmish, but in Extreme, you
should always be micromanaging your military or villagers to be as efficient as
possible. Pay attention to notifications, especially idle villagers. Turn scouts and
warriors into villagers when you can; don’t retain an army unless necessary or you
can’t afford to disband them.
3. Maximize efficiency. Make sure you leave room for silos on food tiles, place Markets
and Trading posts on the same tile, and leave room for a Mine when Stone / Iron is on
the tile. Pay attention to each clan’s Lore when planning out what to colonize.
4. You should almost never need to develop land (paying 100 Krowns) unless you are
Goat and can do it for 20. Instead, push food production and expand to a new tile.
-=Resource Management=-
1. Expand until you can have a steady supply of everything you need. On Extreme,
you rarely need to take more than 5-6 territories besides your home province.
2. Make sure you store nothing but the bare minimum of resources! Food is good for
colonization and not starving; nothing else. Wood should be used immediately; if
you can’t use that 150 wood immediately because you don’t have building space, you
need more food to colonize another tile. If you have over 300 food or 200 wood and
Winter isn’t coming, you’re not spending your resources in a timely fashion. Pretend
you’re a project manager, and your boss is going to take your budget away if you
don’t spend it.
3. Krowns are nice, but unless you are playing Raven, you only need enough for
upgrading buildings and hiring a few military units. Try to keep about 100-150 in
reserve with at least +2 production and only push Krowns if you need them for
Upgrades or Military.
4. Mine Stone and Iron as early as possible on most maps. Upgrading buildings is vital.
5. Trading Posts are the Great Equalizer. If you have a map rich in forests, or food,
you can sell off the excess from your efficient, upgraded buildings instead of posting
villagers as Merchants. Depending on the map, you can get 2-6 trade routes going at
once, though you rarely need more than 2.
6. Don’t buy resources from the Market! It’s almost a guaranteed sign you haven’t
expanded properly or in the right order. The campaign ensures that you are near all
vital resources, so don’t buy from the Market unless absolutely necessary!
-=Upgrades=-
1. Upgrade buildings relative to what you need as quickly as possible. If you’re
running low on Food, upgrade a Food building.
2. There are 3 essential tools to upgrade with Iron every level: Woodcutters, your
biggest group of Food Gatherers, and Axe Throwers.
-=Other Tips=-
1. Never fall below 0 on happiness. If you notice you’re getting close, build a brewery
immediately! Low happiness means no new villagers, which puts an end to your dream of
expansion.
2. Never hit your population cap! If you’re at 10/11, 15/16, etc. it’s time to build
a house. That said, there are times when excess population creates “drag” if you don’t
have an efficient use for them. So unless you are intentionally limiting your population,
make sure you never hit those unmagical red numbers.
3. Generally, turn Villagers into Healers in the Winter when you have wounded, since
Villagers are less efficient in Winter.
Useful Tips for Beginners:

This guide will teach you important tips that no one else will tell you.
* Once the game starts scout the areas around before building woodcutter's hut.
Look for a forest to build it in if you found one without wolves this is to get
10% more wood.
* If you see fertile land get it. it gives you a lot of food.
* When scouting enemies focus on getting to their town hall asap and don't bother
with other tiles. Make your path and try to find the shortest.
* Get gold and build lots of army camps.
* My personal way of getting gold is by building 2 trading posts.
* Build another woodcutter's hut to sell the wood or get boost for building camps.
* Have a main food source upgrade the tile and the tools and the silo
(farm is the best).
* Never feast before the 1st winter.
* Minimum amount for effective raid is about 10~12 don't go less you'll waste
money and time and souls.
Death Note and Cold War Achievements Guide (Single Player):
-----------------------------------------------------------
Written by KitsuNoshi
I got the death note achievement randomly in OX conquest, however I was in offline
mode and the achievment didn’t unlocked, so I decided to come up with a strategy to
get it again without another player. While I got the cold war achievement with a
friend I also decided a strategie for it, since It’s a difficult one for single player.
-=Requirements=-
Your name in the Death Note
Be the target of 3 Manhunt Rivalry at the same time
-=Cold War=-
Maintain the “Eavesdropping” Rivalry for 2 years, with a clan doing the same with you.
-=Death Note=-
Death note can be done in conquest, just any conquest in which you have to defeat 3
enemy and they are allied to each other, unless they have a lux clan, because they
can’t manhunt.
But there is an easier way, start a multiplayer game make 7 ai which allies each other
and make them boar, because boar gets EXP slower since they don’t kill wolfes for
colonialisation, it might take a time but it will work.
-=Cold War=-
* Cold war is a bit harder:
* Make another MP and make 1 Lux ai, because lux can’t manhunt. Always have more people
then they, so they can’t do town twining. And have more fame, so they can’t do bullying.
* Now the only thing they can do is eavesdropping but It’s still random and it is
possible that they stop it at some time.
* At this point it’s just a matter of time, if the game goes on for long enough you will
get it eventually, just afk it or something.
-=Additional Tips=-
* I would recommend Ox clan for both achievement because they gain EXP and Fame the fastes.
* If you don’t have the dlc you can go Wolf or Bear for death note and Raven for cold war.
* Remove all victory conditions beside domination so that the game doesn’t end randomly.
* You don’t need another player for this even if it’s multiplayer. But you need to do an
MP because you can only choose teams or the ai clan, if It’s a MP.
How to Obtain Your Name in the Death Note & Cold War Achievements:
------------------------------------------------------------------

A guide for single player to get achievement: Your name in the Death Note and Cold War.
-=Your Name in the Death Note=-
To get this achievement, you can strat a single player game – Custom game with at least
4-5 Normal AI player. Team settings choose Free Team, and all AI players are setted in
one team. I set all the AI to Raven clan, so they can scouting faster. I choose the Horse
clan, and I don’t recommend choosing Ox caln and Boar clan, because your opponent would
more likely choose “eavesdropping” rather than “Manhunt”.I chose “Guardian” path, and build
3 watch tower. AI would sent mercenaries to your tiles, so you can easily get more Military
Experience. I got this achievement on 802A.D.
-=Cold War
This one is a lot easier than the last one. I chose the Boar clan against any AI player
on normal difficulty and kept “knowledge“ ahead so that the AI would naturally choose
“Eavesdropping” ,while we kept “Eavesdropping” and waited for two years.
-=Notes
* The difficulty of AI should be normal, because simple AI rarely rival.
* Set more than 3 AI to get “Your name in the Death Note”, in case some AI don’t rival
or eavesdrop.
* It takes luck to get these two achievements. Save and load, in case the AI cancel the
rival or choose another rival.
