Ikr? When I first read abt it and saw that it's about VIKINGS, I was all like.. "hmm.. intriguing, but let's wait for some let's play vids" Then I watched the first 10secs of Aavak's gameplay and now I have to get it >:(
I just found your channel tonight and I absolutely love your commentary. Awesome accent, great jokes, crisp sound, perfect time for episodes, and you play a lot of games I have interest in. I'm going to be sticking with watching your work for a long time!
FULL SERIES!!!! I looked at this game a couple of months ago and thought "promising". And today you play it and it is absolutely adorable! Like a cute civilizations/age of empire mixed with a bit rimworld in Norse mythology. Superb!
You have done good on this one, kid! It is to be inspired by so many other good games while still being unique, which is amazing. With enough longevity, good possibility to mod and a multiplayer, this game has a huge potential. That is also why I would love to see you play it further than a Let's play. That is, if you want to, sir Aavak!
You sir make games like these look like a cake walk. I suck at them. Please do more of this!!!! I love games based on Mythology. Clan Heidrun for the Win!!!!!
I'm absolutely in love with the art-style and the gameplay thus far! I feel like there is a massive gap in the gaming market for proper build/strategy games like this. I'm really really hoping they will continue to develop the game for a long time to come. Thank you devs for sending Mr Aavak here a first taste.
I need this game in my life......I spent so many years playing games like settlers and age of empires, this looks perfect for me :') Please keep playing this Aavak! :D
Well done Shiro games for giving Aavak a preview copy - I'll definitely be buying this game - looks nice from both a builder perspective and also has a real game behind it! :)
Haha, "Kröwns". As a Scandinavian I approve of this immensely. XD Also that they spell the god's name "Baldr" and not "Balder" makes me way happier than it probably should. Devs, if you are reading (probably not, but what the heck), this just went straight on my wish list!
Damn it Mr Aavak. Your wonderfully chilled play style makes it so hard to not buy this game! Seriously though it looks amazing both gameplay wise and artistic wise :-)
You and I seem to have a very similar taste in games! This looks like a good mash up of Banished, and The Settlers! I still have a copy of The Settlers II somewhere, and now I feel the need to replay it!
I love this game already. I know a decent chunk of Norse mythology. So this is really interesting to see which gods, monsters, and legends will be included in this game.
What really gets me excited for this game is the fact that it reminds me a lot of Black and White 2 ( the god-game, not the pokemon one), and that was one of my favorite games. *sigh* it's too bad I can't play it on windows 10 anymore.
I can't help but compare this game to the Stronghold series. Oh the nostalgia! Stronghold Crusdader to this day is one of my favourite strategy RTS games ever made. This game seems to have familiar mechanics to that, and I very much appreciate this. Except Northgard is even better in that it's set in Viking times. I get the best of both worlds with this game :)
I feel like Aavak has a really close knit community.. it's not the hugest on youtube, but everyone knows eachother, and Aavak replies a lot :D It's also really friendly and generally troll/jerk free xD
Probably not a game I'd play myself, as I'm pretty awful at management-type tasks, but love to watch them! The art looks gorgeous as well! And I know they're pretty much Vikings, but you can always pretend you're Cambro-Norse explorers ;)
Some fun knowledge: Valkyries are sometimes thought to be a positive force, guiding the souls of the honored dead to Valhalla. However, in older texts, they've been shown to be somewhat chaotic, and almost mischievous, playing with the odds in battle.
LadyShelab encounters first opponent and immediately thinks of trading. Aavak encounters first opponent and immediately thinks of destroying them. Had coffee before you play this Aavak? :D
Such is the viking way, friend! 'Tis within our very DNA. I guess all germanic people are just very hostile. Spend a few minutes on a GERMAN PvP server in any game and you'll see :P
looks nice and pretty polished for something that will be early access. On Steam they estimate 2-6 months early access lets hope this will be true. Would love to see this games finished and I will likely get in the early access myself. I tend to do so less these days which is a testament to how nice this looks
I won't lie, my first thought was, "Oh geez, a resource management game." However, this actually looks very interesting, also Aavak playing it makes it worth a look.
'Just go and kill all their civilians.' Nothing like some war crimes to start off the morning. XD I must say I've seen this game before around but never really paid it much mind. After watching this though I might have to rethink that, great video.
Aavak... Can you hear it...? Can you hear the call, the faint whisper that nips at your very essence? The dwarfs are calling Aavak... Armok is calling. The rim worlds can only satisfy you for so lonnnnng~~~ (spooky jazz hands) Any chance of you starting up a new game of Dwarf Fortress Aavak? Aside from the plumphelmetpunk you're really the only one that can make a damn entertaining/ super relaxing lets play on it.
looks like a good looking and more importantly fun game, but that map is so very small, hopefully thats just in the beginning and as you build ships you can expand the map and play on more of it because as of right now, damn that is a super small map
Fantastic! The only word to describe it. I do indeed love the look of this game but nevertheless it tis not a better colony then medusa's raft. I rate 8 out of 10 - needs more cannibals!

![Northgard [First Taste] - 2. Warchief - Let's Play Northgard Gameplay](/img/tr.png)
I absolutely refuse to let you do this as a first taste! I watched Lady Shelab play this it's too good to be so short!
Well, if there's interest I'd be very happy to play this as a full series :D
yes, what admiral ma'am said! this one looks worth a series.
Well, I'm interested.
Have you played Warcraft 2?
This reminds me of the settlers series of games. Man those were good times.
Soon as I saw that Clan of the Goat started with Sheep, I knew exactly why Aavak chose them.
Mathmachine well... that escalated quickly!
XD
Uuuh, right in the Welshies.
Too bad they didn't start with people as a food source... Dark Aavak mod. Muahahaha.
I love how you explain so much in the start!
Out of the 5 LP's I've watched, you're the only one to do that
Ahhh the art in this game is gorgeous ^0^
Very much so!
guh, i always forget to check before they timeout!

The first episode of this definitely intrigues me, and I'm excited to see more!
Had my eye on this game from the trailer. Thanks for letting me smell this game. Hope I can taste it soon!
Both you and LadyShelab are clan of goat in your games... The Goat is strong with thee
There's a wolf clan and instantly i'm like "I want this game", I haven't even seen the game play yet!
Just found this channel because of this game and the Northgard reddit. Awesome man! Great video!
You have done good on this one, kid!

My favourite channel so far. Great job!
Aah Aavak, I am so pleased when you play strategy games. You made my day with this one! Do continue with games like this :D
You sir make games like these look like a cake walk. I suck at them. Please do more of this!!!! I love games based on Mythology. Clan Heidrun for the Win!!!!!

You've earned yourself a new subscriber, my friend. Great video!
I need this game in my life......I spent so many years playing games like settlers and age of empires, this looks perfect for me :') Please keep playing this Aavak! :D
I definitely enjoy very much your latest series, Avorion, Rimworld, M.E.R.C. and this one!
Ahhh, Nothing like looking at Great new games that I could never possibly run on my Toaster with an OS. Keep up your work man.
Aavak, your dookling army has spoken, this shan't be a first taste, this shall be a full game. All in favor?
Carlos Amponin Here here!
Aye!
Carlos Amponin here
Aye!

Awesome introduction to an awesome game. so excited for its EA~ Cheers from Singapore!
Well done Shiro games for giving Aavak a preview copy - I'll definitely be buying this game - looks nice from both a builder perspective and also has a real game behind it! :)
I love the mix of RTS and 4K elements I think they mesh well
Haha, "Kröwns". As a Scandinavian I approve of this immensely. XD Also that they spell the god's name "Baldr" and not "Balder" makes me way happier than it probably should.
Devs, if you are reading (probably not, but what the heck), this just went straight on my wish list!
This series looks like it's gonna be gr8 m8!
I've been loving the new games on the channel! this one looks fantastic, makes me think of Banished.
Damn it Mr Aavak. Your wonderfully chilled play style makes it so hard to not buy this game!
Seriously though it looks amazing both gameplay wise and artistic wise :-)
Thank you :D
You and I seem to have a very similar taste in games! This looks like a good mash up of Banished, and The Settlers!
I still have a copy of The Settlers II somewhere, and now I feel the need to replay it!
Love the content, love the personality. Subbed!
I was a huge fan of the old Settlers series, so this game looks really fun to me! Can't wait for early access!
your videos are always brilliant thanks brother
Why do you make me fall in love with everything you do Aavak!!!! Keep feeding my greedy soul :3
I'm glad you enjoy the game so much :D
This is what i would have wanted out of civilization (to have more management ) its so cool and i cant wait to watch the series
Odin, father of Thor and God of Health, Death, Knowledge and Battle supports this becoming a let's play.
In other words,
Please make this a series ;P
please make this a full time series I really injoyed watching it... mind you I injoy all your videos
I love this game already.
I know a decent chunk of Norse mythology. So this is really interesting to see which gods, monsters, and legends will be included in this game.
What really gets me excited for this game is the fact that it reminds me a lot of Black and White 2 ( the god-game, not the pokemon one), and that was one of my favorite games. *sigh* it's too bad I can't play it on windows 10 anymore.

This game seems to have familiar mechanics to that, and I very much appreciate this. Except Northgard is even better in that it's set in Viking times. I get the best of both worlds with this game :)
This game as awaken a nostalgic era of my playing time. Im gonna keep a close eye on this one
Really sweet and relaxing looking game. Reminds me very of Settlers 3 and 4. Im happy to see such a game with good looking graphics.
Great video. Cheers for this. Persuaded me to hit the buy button in the Humble store.
I feel like Aavak has a really close knit community.. it's not the hugest on youtube, but everyone knows eachother, and Aavak replies a lot :D
It's also really friendly and generally troll/jerk free xD
I do my best :)
As an example :D
Being such a closely knit community, can we maybe get a discord link or are they for distinguished daperlings?
Yes! Good question. I would like an Aavak discord group!
vastowen456 He posts the link in the comments every so often. Keep an eye out!
Probably not a game I'd play myself, as I'm pretty awful at management-type tasks, but love to watch them! The art looks gorgeous as well! And I know they're pretty much Vikings, but you can always pretend you're Cambro-Norse explorers ;)
Behold the glorious Goat!
Also, I think this game should have a series.
As soon as you started, this gave me a HUGE old stronghold game feel..
The closely built buildings make me feel a bit cozy, the style of this game is amazing.
Can't wait to get my hands on this! Please play more!
Nice looking game, will have to check it out :)
Nice Vid man, you just earned a subscriber
I would like to see more. It looks really good.
huge fan a lot of games IV bought is because of you thank you
This game looks really interesting Aavak :D *in evil voice* conquer the world for the Goat Clan MAAAHAHA
Gonna get this for sure looks sick
I love base building games!
Specially dwarf fortress, rimworld and now, this!
Northgard.
In this episode, Aavak made the Baratheons bend the knee to him.
Beyond excited for this game.
Yes, more Viking themed games!
Thank you for the good video on that promising game.
You're more than welcome :)
Some fun knowledge: Valkyries are sometimes thought to be a positive force, guiding the souls of the honored dead to Valhalla. However, in older texts, they've been shown to be somewhat chaotic, and almost mischievous, playing with the odds in battle.
Aye, the Valkyries are an interesting topic in Norse mythology.
This seems like a fantastic game.
This game looks really cool, I hope you do a proper let's play of it.
Sheeps are counting as civilians. Those crazy nords!
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't mind having a Goat as my spirit animal.
I loved this game... maybe I will buy when it gets released
it reminds me of the game the settlers 4.. was one of the best games so far
This game looks awesome. I'm a huge fan of the earliers Settlers games, so i'll give this one a try :)
I need this game!!!! **Runs to steam**
I like how you present the game. I sub. :)
LadyShelab encounters first opponent and immediately thinks of trading. Aavak encounters first opponent and immediately thinks of destroying them. Had coffee before you play this Aavak? :D
Such is the viking way, friend! 'Tis within our very DNA.
I guess all germanic people are just very hostile. Spend a few minutes on a GERMAN PvP server in any game and you'll see :P
Man, this reminds me a lot of games like empire earth and age of empires.
Nice music, reminds me of banished. Maybe turn it up a little bit?
Game looks cool too...i`m all in :)
looks nice and pretty polished for something that will be early access. On Steam they estimate 2-6 months early access lets hope this will be true. Would love to see this games finished and I will likely get in the early access myself. I tend to do so less these days which is a testament to how nice this looks
wow awesome video
Seems like a great game. Alot of potential
Play more northward! Your the best.
I won't lie, my first thought was, "Oh geez, a resource management game." However, this actually looks very interesting, also Aavak playing it makes it worth a look.
Thank you :)
I love you, Aavak!
'Just go and kill all their civilians.' Nothing like some war crimes to start off the morning. XD I must say I've seen this game before around but never really paid it much mind. After watching this though I might have to rethink that, great video.
I've had enormous amounts of fun with it, so I do hope you will consider checking it out in more detail, definitely a game I am happy to recommend :)
This game is like NORTHLAND!! :D Miss this game
Cultures 3
Where do you find these games?
I keep my finger to the pulse of upcoming games :)
subbed, enjoyed mucho
Welcome to the channel :D
looks very good, love Settlers style games
Amazing! keep it up :D
Once I get my pay from school, I'll have to buy this game
this game looks really well made :D
Why a down vote for such a good youtuber and such a good game?
Well Played Sir..
your awesome keep it up
Thanks :D
definitely keeping the dapparlings happy!!!!
Aavak... Can you hear it...? Can you hear the call, the faint whisper that nips at your very essence? The dwarfs are calling Aavak... Armok is calling. The rim worlds can only satisfy you for so lonnnnng~~~ (spooky jazz hands)
Any chance of you starting up a new game of Dwarf Fortress Aavak? Aside from the plumphelmetpunk you're really the only one that can make a damn entertaining/ super relaxing lets play on it.
yes! new camaraderie the inn, now featuring a room with a hungry vampire inexplicably playing a lute.
DasTactic is also rather good at this, not to knock Aavak. :)
Robbaz needs to play this.
looks like a good looking and more importantly fun game, but that map is so very small, hopefully thats just in the beginning and as you build ships you can expand the map and play on more of it because as of right now, damn that is a super small map
i am hyped by this game but don't know what to think of the mapsize, seems rather small?
I like your Nordic dragon thumb nail
Interesting looking game.
Goats for the goat god. u_u / (This game seems really fun to play, even though the command seems to be a little bit frustrating sometimes...)
Fantastic! The only word to describe it. I do indeed love the look of this game but nevertheless it tis not a better colony then medusa's raft. I rate 8 out of 10 - needs more cannibals!
Oh and thanks for the first look
MORE OF THIS!
