Some years, you will be warned of an oncoming blizzard, making the winter even harsher and requiring even more drastic preparations. You might discover an unspoiled region with rich iron deposits in October, and be forced to ask yourself if it’s worth spending the food to colonize it if it means half your population might get sick or die of starvation during the winter. This makes it necessary to maintain a stockpile of resources throughout the other months and time attacks carefully, leading to some interesting strategic decisions. Military units operating outside your home territory also suffer combat penalties-despite what romantic portrayals might show, Vikings knew better than to go to war during the Scandinavian winter. When it reaches winter, farms stop producing and your consumption of food and firewood goes up drastically. The wheel of the year is always turning as you build, expand, and fight for glory. Northgard also models the reality that the passing of the seasons was a central factor in Viking life. The decision about when to go to war is never straightforward.
