Press release:
Bordeaux, France – Jan. 29, 2019 – “Northgard: Clan of the Ox“, the latest DLC for “Northgard”, the acclaimed Viking strategy title from Shiro Games purchased by more than one million players, is now available on Steam for Windows PC, Mac, and Linux.
Helmed by the venerable Torfin, the Clan of the Ox are a formidable band of warriors renowned for their large appetites and physical might. Members of this clan tower over their rivals and wield their hulking size to gain 15% attack and defense bonuses in combat.
They also boast a 40% boost in production, but their imposing stature does have limitations, as only a single Ox villager can be assigned to buildings (both military and production) at any given time.
Warchief Torfin’s unmatched strength and cunning nature allows the clan to identify and loot Northgard’s Ancient Battlegrounds for Ancestral Equipment.
In combat, Torfin’s Provocation ability increases his defense while forcing every non-neutral enemy to focus their attacks on him for a limited time. He also features an offensive Ram power, which unleashes a devastating charge attack with the muscle to immediately destroy opposing structures.
Northgard is available on Steam for $29.99 / €27.99.

About Northgard:
Northgard is a strategy game based on Norse mythology in which you control a clan of Vikings vying for the control of a mysterious newfound continent. After years of tireless explorations, brave Vikings have discovered a new land filled with mystery, danger and riches: Northgard.
The boldest Northmen have set sail to explore and conquer these new shores, bring fame to their Clan and write history through conquest, trading, or devotion to the Gods. That is, if they can survive the dire Wolves and Undead Warriors roaming the land, befriend or defeat the giants, and survive the harshest winters ever witnessed in the North.
