Viking-themed RTS game Northgard has been quietly dominating since its full release in 2018 (after spending a year or so in early access before that). It received some pretty positive reviews, and the team at Shiro Games has been slowly making the game even better over time.
In the years since, Northgard has received several major free updates that have added new content and game modes, such as the Conquest mode, the Ragnarok map, even a map editor. Now, the game is set to get a fifth major update.
Expeditions is not a new game mode, but it represents a new way of interacting with existing Northgard content. They're essentially quests, and these missions are broken up into steps. One step might see you colonise a specific tile, or reach another milestone connected to gameplay. Once you've done the first step, the next is revealed. There are two types of expedition - recurring ones in the form of daily and weekly quests, and 'master expeditions' that are one-time missions relating to existing content. There are expeditions related to the original story mode - Rin's Saga - as well as quests for the Conquest mode, and ones tied to Steam achievements.
