To get a Diplomatic Victory, you'll need to send them krowns and get their favours! But be warned, the diplomatic war extend to other clans, and you'll have to spend a lot of your income to reach victory! To gain influence with Miklagard, you can trade through trading posts and docks with relevant knowledge. Trading will grant strong bonuses but will require active engagement on your end. Miklagard wealth is desired by many, and you'll have to fight for their favours. Gather the most influence, crush your rivals diplomatically and claim victory!

This adjustment slows down their initial progress and scaling, while maintaining their late-game strength. This aims to balance gameplay without diminishing the clan's power in the later stages, making it reach peak strength a bit later.[/td] [td]The Owl Clan has been adjusted to diversify its role in multiplayer. A scouting bonus has been added to its Fame 200 to make scouting more attractive, alongside a community-requested nerf to Parasitic Vegetables to balance its power.[/td] [td]The Squirrel Clan’s meal effect for allies now scales over time, increasing the impact in later stages of the game. This adjustment is intended to make the Squirrel Clan a more viable and competitive support option in multiplayer settings.[/td] [/tr] [/table] [table equalcells=1] [tr] [th][img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//25920479/6a912f8ba623a24900f547dc5dc39108c0a902e8.png[/img][/th] [th][img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//25920479/f01889a50daaf1693ef3599072f965819290c1e9.png[/img][/th] [th][img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//25920479/41469483e7c848ba947e3f9d758b9571d55cd99e.png[/img][/th] [/tr] [tr] [td]The Boar Clan unique aspects, particularly the Menders, have been enhanced to bring them in line with the current meta and make better use of the clan's specific abilities and strengths in multiplayer.[/td] [td]The Snake Clan’s Scorched Earth ability has been reverted to work only in neutral or enemy territory, thus correcting the unintended change allowing it to be triggered on the clan’s own land.[/td] [td]The Stag Clan’s Glory of the Clan knowledge has been updated to account for its new retroactive effect, ensuring it is balanced with recent changes and functions as intended in gameplay.[/td] [/tr] [/table] This balancing aims at addressing community concerns on those specific clans as well as others.
