Victory

=Overview=

In regular singleplayer and multiplayer games, there are 7 different approaches to achieve victory in Northgard. If a player achieves a victory condition in a team game, their whole team is victorious. Except for the three last ones, each victory type can be activated or deactivated when creating a game.

Once victorious, the title "King of Northgard" is gained.

= General Win Conditions = The classic approaches to defeat your opponent. Depending on the map size and the gamemode (1v1, 2v2, 3v3, FFA...), some can be easier or harder to achieve.

The most common path in team duels : Destroy all other players' Town Halls and become the master of Northgard.

Unlike the other victories, the Domination victory cannot be removed when creating a custom game. Therefore, one must be always ready for an attack.

Victory focuses on creating a powerful economy by upgrading numerous buildings and colonizing more areas than usual. It is usually faster than wisdom victory and can sometimes be easier to achieve than domination, but it needs a lot of, resources and defensive stances.
