For some of them it happened as dream, for others as vision. For all it was a gift. And since that day, guided by the Gods, the sledgehammers resonate day and night through Northgard… The creation of Relics has been rediscovered!

THE NEW TOOL MECHANIC

The Forge

The Forge has gained a lot of importance in Northgard. The building requires a Woodcutter’s Lodge to be created and costs 80 and 20 . The building can be upgraded with 100 , 50 and 5 .

You can assign 2 smiths to a non-upgraded Forge and 3 to an upgraded Forge. Add Smiths to craft items quicker. You can build more than one Forge, but you won’t be able to use both buildings to craft the same item.

The Tools

In the Forge, you now have the possibility of 3 different actions:

Upgrade civilian tools
Upgrade military tools
Forge a Relic

You can queue multiple items in the Forge. When the first item is finished, the Smiths will start forging the next one. If there isn’t any adversity in the Forge’s tile, you can cancel the creation of an item, and you’ll be refunded its original cost. You’ll have the possibility to improve the Smith’s tools, granting them a 15% increase in Forge speed!
