Northgard: Kernev, Clan of the Stoat Review (Marn)
TL;DR: Stoat clan are the best "townbuilders" in Conquest mode and give great team bonuses in co-op
This review is for Conquest mode only (the only mode I play).
Conquest bonusesNew Subjects arrive at your forts (Subject arrival is 33% longer than your Town Hall)
Sentries benefit from every weapon upgrade
With , Sentries do not count in your Warband and Population.
These Conquest bonuses are baller (especially the first one which makes building Forts your highest priority). You always have Subjects available for when you expand and you can create an army of Sentries at a moment's notice. Your Sentries do very respectable dps once fully upgraded.
Levy
One of your Lores lets you share 50% of your Levy bonuses with your allies FOR FREE. There's no downside in doing this like there is for Squirrel clan's feast sharing. At 500 fame, you can have 2 Levies running simultaneously. This is so strong that surely it will get nerfed. Your highest priority is building and upgrading new Forts as soon as you can.
Early Military Power
One of your first Lores, , lets your Lords leave your territory so you can build a Fort early and a single lord will be strong enough to clear wolves. The Fort also passively heals your Lord / Chieftain. Idle Lords / Chieftains can also be used to boost production on buildings. If you get the Defensive military tree, you can get free upgrades on your Forts and your Lords become even better at clearing tiles. You can put off buying a chieftain for a long time if you feel like it.
Lore gains
You can use Viking relics to make Monks so you get early healers whenever you need them as well as a huge spike in Faith production whenever you want it. This clan is extremely versatile.
A+ clan for Conquest mode.
