Coming soon · October 29, 2026 · Raiders of the North
An infantry civilization built around Stealth Forests, which Scottish units see straight through, and a Food economy that runs on Highland Cattle grazing Berry Bushes.
Tower Houses work as Outposts, raise population and produce Highland Cattle, so they are both the heart of the economy and the first thing an opponent will raid. On the field, Pikemen in a schiltron hold the line with Lochaber Axe Men-at-Arms and Gallowglass beside them. The Mustering Hall turns Food into fast reinforcements and holds Lowland and Highland technologies, which get much cheaper once a Landmark from the same region is built.
Fast light melee infantry for raiding workers and torching buildings.
Heavy melee infantry with claymores. Braces against cavalry charges and deals area damage.
Tower Houses act as Outposts, add population and produce Highland Cattle, which graze Berry Bushes for Food without using them up.
Unique technologies, plus rapid mustering of warriors for Food. Military buildings inside its influence make mustering stronger.
Light ranged gunpowder raider with pistols and torches. Strong against ranged cavalry.
Technology that raises Men-at-Arms damage against cavalry and lets them brace against charges.
The first Highland Cattle go onto Berry Bushes next to a Tower House, which can also shelter them from a raid. Pictish Pikemen defend the village. Every age-up is a choice between a Lowland and a Highland Landmark.
The Stone of Destiny, a Lowland Landmark, pays Gold back for buildings placed within its reach. Kirkmen work Fishponds for Gold and speed up nearby Villagers. The Mustering Hall opens the regional technologies and mustering.
The Tower of Skye, a Highland Landmark, surrounds itself with Stealth Forest and lets Tower Houses create more. Gallowglass become available at the Barracks and the Mustering Hall.
Dhùn Èideann, a Lowland Landmark, brings the “Seven Sisters” cannons and more range for gunpowder siege. Basket-Hilted Broadswords upgrade Caterans, and Border Reivers join the army.
Units, buildings and technologies will be listed here when the expansion is out.
