How is the multiplayer?

[Katsu]

Is it like other RTS games where players use rush strats to attack other players within 5 minutes? And are the paid dlc clans stronger than the free ones? I hope it's not p2w

well ♥♥♥♥ I can't even play multiplayer, I get kicked from every lobby? fun...

you need to play in low rank games with wood for start. none iron will play with you at 2v2 not even for ffa games

some players make fast attack like 802 year (about 15 min game) some others not (ffa games)

all clans are balanced

it is a good strategy game who don't need do build all the map to win
usually in the most strategy games the player who will have the most building and pop wins

northgard is strategy game that you need to thinking and play smart

squirrel jsut came out so we don't know how they handle in multiplayer yet just so you now but the rest can be fun. all the dlc clans have a gimic that changes how they play but none are really more powerful than the others

One thing I am sure is that 5min rush is impossible in Northgard, because the first year you will be busy surviving your first winter, and maps need to be explored in a the-farther-the-slower speed before you can send anything into it. One year in game equals 12 minutes, so you see the point. There are rushs, but it will be half an hour later from start, definitely not a fast-paced game.

everyone just kicks me

I recommend you to do campaign first to get a feel for the game - it's basically an eco-management RTS with focus on battle in order to win.
if you are getting kicked, it is because you have no points or are a villager with less than 10 wins. Open up a lobby yourself and only let other low players in.

Yes, totally most multiplayer games end in a rush to enemy base. I wouldn't hope for any other win than domination in random multiplayer game, maybe if you found people and played premade with your friends defending while you do lore/crown/fame win.

Yup, that's how thing tends to go in those niche strategy games with lobbies.

And then some years later the community wonders why the game or even the genre isn't more successful.

You won't get rushed in low ELO ranks and is not that easy to win by rushing like other RTS games

And about the kicking... I have to admit I would kick a low ELO player also for fair game x)
