Nordreich is a city-building and strategy game in the far north. You start with a longhouse, a handful of settlers and a beach full of possibilities. Trees become planks, ore becomes iron, iron becomes weapons – and your carriers bring every good along the roads you lay.
Chapter by chapter, the saga tells of your rise: from a beach camp to a settlement, from a settlement to a realm across several islands. And out at sea, Grimr the Grey is waiting.
Your longship lies on the beach, your clan is ashore. This coast belongs to no one – not yet. Out at sea rules Grimr the Grey, and he suffers no chief beside him. Build a home that can stand against him.

The game world
Build, sail, stand together
Building
Roads, goods, workshops
Place buildings freely on the island and connect them with flags and roads. Woodcutter, sawmill, charcoal kiln, smelter and weaponsmith work hand in hand. Lay your roads wisely and your goods flow faster – and you can watch your carriers on every road.
Free building on a grid of hexagons
Production chains from tree to weapon
Every building up to level 20
Seafaring and battle
Set sail, raid harbours
Build a shipyard and win the neighbouring islands, each with land and treasures of its own. Train footmen, archers and cavalry – each class beats another. Raid the harbours of other chiefs, send scouts ahead and hold your own harbours when Grimr's Marauders land.
Three classes in three stages
Shore raids on foreign harbours
A raid costs freight – what you have built stays standing
Clan
Stronger together
Join a clan or found your own. Lend each other a hand, trade goods, expand the Clan Hall and plan your next move in the chat. Chieftain and Hersir lead and give thanks – and whoever contributes most is honoured as Pillar of the Clan.
Lend a Hand and trade
Clan Hall and Clan Lore
Chat for your clan and the whole realm
And there is more
Something to do every week
The lore of the Rune Hall
New goods, better tools, stronger troops and faster ships – in up to four ranks.
The Sea Serpent
Once a week it surfaces near your clan's islands. Strike it together and share the loot when it falls.
The Thing Season
Every 28 days the Thing is called. Clans fight over the Contested Isles, sound the Rally and gather glory and tribute.
Events of the week
Week of the Builders, of Blades, of Runes or of the Army: each week counts something different, and the best carry a title.
From Settler to High King
Your power grows with every building, every research and every warrior. Titles show the whole realm where you stand.
A guest on foreign islands
Visit the settlements of other chiefs, see what they have built – and pick your next target.
