Don't worry if you already played before they were added, simple opening the game should trigger all eligible drops! Collect the cards and grow your own Yggdrasil badge and collect a few emotes on the way.


Whether you come back from Early Access or are trying the game for the first game, please take some time to leave a review! It's a small gesture but it helps us a lot!

In the meantime, we're already at work on the first patch! We're balancing some stuff, fixing bugs and improving stability for players with older setups! Keep the feedback coming on the Steam Forums, on Discord or on Social Media!

Welcome to Roots of Yggdrasil 1.0!

This update contains new characters, buildings and over 100+ Changes and improvements! Over the course of Early Access, we've used your feedback to shape the game. We've added and reworked a lot of systems, but until now, most of the quests, characters and collection was left incomplete. This changes now as we tie up those loose ends today! We are very excited to bring you this massive update. Hope you enjoy it 🤗

Before we go in-depth, here's is a quick recap of some of the biggest features added in this update.

• New Scion : The Valkyrie
  
• New Housing : Hall Houses
  
• New Adventures & Map events
  
• New Artifacts & Buildings
  
• A Conclusion to all the Quests!
  
• ...And much more!

Eir, our new Playable scion, is centered on Threats. It’s all about taking risks, creating danger in order to exploit it. Let’s look at her starting passives :

War Cry gives might income per turn every time a Threat spawns. This helps dealing with most of them, which will trigger its second passive, gaining population when you spend might. With this, you can now see why spawning threats is interesting for Eir. This is why her active ability, Cursed Valkyrie, simply spawns a Threat on the map. But be careful, it could be a draugr camp, a storm or even a fire!

New Housing Type available : Great Halls and Hall Houses.

Great halls are expansive buildings that can be upgraded when placing housing near them. Hall houses are cheap, but do not give anything by themselves. Place them near Great Halls to obtain population. Each upgrade of the Great Hall gives an income of a different resource, so place your housing carefully!
Developer Notes: With this update we're bringing many more deckbuilding options. Raiding camp allows you to keep threats around for a bonus if you can manage them. Lodging upgrade opens all kinds of possibilities with each housing type. Cart maker brings a new mechanic to the game by creating a zone around it that will allow you to draw cards when building in it.
Developer Notes: We also added more options to play with Eitr with the Eitr Transformer and Enhancers. This new guild will also work well with Eir's new powers focused on Threats.

You'll find new artifacts both in the default pool and some to unlock in the Greenhouse this patch. Take a look at some of them :
Developer Notes: This time again, our goal with artifacts is to allow new playstyles. Use Living Brick to reduce the cost of your buildings and draft more. Skip those drafts to upgrade your deck using Verdant Hoe or draft ephemeral cards to benefit from the bonus of Mead of Poetry when they leave your deck.

There's some other artifacts as well, but we'll let you discover them yourselves!

• New Warden : Gerda
  
  • The Last Jotun joins the adventure! Explore Asgard to meet our new warden. Gerda has her own story and events for you to discover!
• 3 New Adventures
  
  • Runic Forge : Transform your resources from a type to another!
  • Runic Stone : Add a keyword to a card.
  • Runic Altar : Gain a Brittle Action card.

  • When reaching 2 Kinships with Sibyl, Njord, Vidarr and Gerda, they will now appear in special events during Travel.
    
  • When maxing Kinships with Sibyl, Njord, Vidarr and Gerda, they will unlock a Holt building which improve their powers.
• Added 5 new random Timeline Events to more than double the variety of events.
  
• Added new negative keywords that can be added to cards :
  Developer Notes: Card keywords are something we've been wanting to add for a while. This time however, we're adding negative keywords! Some trials and events will add them to cards in your deck, forcing you to think carefully about deckbuilding and the order of played cards!

• Trials now apply a multiplier on total meta resources obtained in loop. Be daring, receive more loot!

From everyone at Manavoid, Thank you for your support! It's been a great journey to bring this game to its full release and we're very excited to see your attempts to reach the top of Yggdrasil!

If you have feedback for us or if you manage to reach level 10 trials, reach out to us on Discord or on the Steam Forums! Good luck everyone!

It's official, Roots of Yggdrasil releases in 1.0 Soon! But what's in this new update?
We had planned another patch before releasing 1.0, but as we worked on it, we realized bundling all the changes together made way more sense. That means the next patch is going to be BIG. Let's take a a quick look at some of the changes.



We are adding more variety in the events you'll encounter in each biome. You'll meet new characters that offer strong boons to help you overcome the challenging trials ahead.

Sneak Peek: You'll sometimes find Runic Stones, which can be used to add keywords on a card in your deck. These allow you to customize your deck further and create stronger synergies.
We've added new cards to play with too! This time, we're also focusing on opening new build opportunities with new mechanics. We won't spoil too much now since there's a many some new mechanics that are introduced.

Sneak Peek: Here's a new common, uncommon and rare building cards.
This patch will contain our fourth playable scion and housing.
We won't talk about them yet, but like other scions, this new character comes with a full story and quest! We'll let you discover how to unlock them!



We've added the end of every character quest in the game, including a unique reward for each of them. You'll want to make some place in your Holt to enjoy some of the new powers!

We've made many improvements to the UI when preparing for an expedition. You'll now find a much clearer explanation of the strengths of each Scion.
When choosing Trials, you'll have an easy way to see if your Scion or housing will level up if you succeed. In addition, your trial level now adds a multiplier on matter acquired during loops!
We're using 1.0 to rebalance the Holt buildings. Overall, we felt the progression was a bit too slow and also too restrictive. Expect less requirements on Holt buildings in the future and more ways to obtain amenity tags. We also don't plan to wipe anything, so if a building you placed gets rebalanced, you'll be able to simply remove it and replace it elsewhere if you prefer!


Please note, the game's price will increase slightly as we officially leave early access. There will be a launch discount, but keep this in mind as we head into launch.

A BIG thank you to all of our community and our development team! We're excited to share the full version of Roots of Yggdrasil with you. If you haven't done so already, please consider leaving a review as it really helps us in terms of discoverability at launch. As always, if you have any questions or comments, please leave them below or join our Discord.

[discord.gg]We're incredibly excited for Roots of Yggdrasil to fully release. We couldn't have made it here without your valuable feedback, support and validation all throughout the Early Access period. Thanks for being here with us and looking forward to what the future holds.

- The Manavoid Team

Thanks for playing our big update last week!
We’ve prepared a small patch based on your feedback and are including a new building as well!

• We’re reducing the scaling of holt housing capacity cost a bit. This will prevent the progression from slowing too much until we add new mechanics to obtain matter in the next updates!
  
• We’ve added an upgrade to the Eitr Connector, which will make it more reliable if you choose to upgrade it. It will also start upgraded if you decide to build an Eitr Laboratory in your Holt!
  
• We’re also adding a new way to connect Eitr : The Eitr Link! It’s less versatile than the Connector, but it’s much more efficient because it has the swift keyword!
  

• Fixed Arms Factory Upgraded version not applying its effect properly.
  
• Fixed Sprouting Hut’s Upgraded version’s cost and french localization.
  
• Fixed the description of some Holt Effects that were not clear. Especially the “at the start of every island” and “at the start of every loop” effects.
  
• Fixed Ginnungagap not being able to reach Asgard’s last hexes.

Thanks for playing, keep the feedback going! ✨
