The concept is really cool and original.
Feasts for free? Sounds awesome!
2 production buildings of the same type in one zone? Even cooler!
The problem is though:
all base stats feel like they're significantly lower than for other clans.
With literally no other clan do I struggle this hard to even make it past the first winter.
Depending on the spawn you need to utilize those 2 buildings right away to make it past the first winter, where literally all other clans can make it past the first winter with only one food production building. But this also means your healing fire, which is essential to the clan, is delayed.
If the spawn is unlucky and you spawn somewhat close to an aggressive early game clan like wolf, lynx or stag, then it's certain death within the first 2 years.
Plus, the warchief Eir seems to be among the weakest in the game. Literally every single time I have seen Eir in the conquest map "Death map", she was reliably the first one to die, no matter which warchief she fought against and if she fought against me or the AI, so I'm not even going to try playing the death match that I got on my recent rat conquest.
I really can't believe that the data on the official northgard Wiki, which says she has 75 health and 10 defense just like Brand. Maybe that's what she had when the clan of the rat was first released and the wiki hasn't been updated to reflect changes?
Don't get me wrong, the late game is pretty powerful, if played right, especially if you get the right buffs in conquest.
But even making it there is a struggle.
The clan would benefit greatly from a rebalancing of the early game.
The biggest issue I have with this clan however, is the inaccuracy of the skull indicator. The skull indicator supposedly tells you how many (and which) of your villagers will die if you start overwork right now. Well, that is completely unreliable. p.e. just now I started overwork and the skull said 1 of my villagers is going to die. Instead, 4 died. That's unacceptable.
That's why in its current state I cannot recommend to buy this clan.
I already spent the money, so I'm going to keep playing, but I wouldn't buy it until it is fixed.
