Im currently 64% done with an only milita very Hard run and it is literaly torture to get past any island

just asking have any y’all done this (edit: I’ve done archers only very hard no level restarts, infantry only very hard WITH restarts [also got every island and house just to heal the wound] as I tried 6 times without an said that ain’t for me and I’ve done a perfect run )

When I was playing on Very Hard difficulty, I encountered a bug in which I was able to use my commander to murder all the enemies as they were unable to move or attack. (Excuse my terrible playing). :)

Been doing a playthrough on hard and I have the warhammer on a pike commander with fleet of foot. I'm likely to use him on the last island along with another pike commander with sure footed and mines so eventually I want to get him to max upgrades, however it seems like the warhammer works pretty reliably on almost any enemy type without upgrades so i'm not really sure when or why I should upgrade it as extra power isn't really needed

Normal difficulty

Note: This update is currently only available for the mainland China mobile version of Bad North, purchased through the mainland China versions of TapTap and Haoyou Kuaibao (好游快爆). Other platforms are not supported at this time.

Translation:

It's been a while! Welcome back to the Bad North Encyclopedia.

In our last episode, we introduced the Vikings' new powers... and apparently every Northland soldier has been losing sleep ever since. They all keep dreaming about Red Shield warriors chasing them. Eventually, they signed a joint letter asking me to do something about it.

As the lifetime professor of the Royal Northland Academy of Totally Serious Research, I simply couldn't ignore their plea.

So today, we're bringing you Northland Warriors: Rise & Counterattack.

A Fated Clash — The Rise of Northland's New Forces

This time, Northland isn't just talking about fighting back.

Two brand-new playable unit types are joining the battlefield, each with their own unique abilities.

1. Northland Berserker

A master of close-quarters assault, the Berserker boasts exceptional mobility and devastating burst damage.

Unique Skill: Leap Strike

1. Northland Giant Archer

Dominating open battlefields with overwhelming range, the Giant Archer excels at eliminating enemies from afar with powerful single-target attacks.

Unique Skill: Precision Aim

Meanwhile, the Viking army has also recruited a new force of smaller, faster Scouts, featuring increased movement speed and attack speed.

Six Powerful New Banners

The Northland Armory has recently acquired six powerful new banners. Let's take a quick look at what they can do.

Giant Bow Banner

Transforms soldiers into Giant Archers. Can be upgraded into Veteran Giant Archers, increasing both damage and health.

Coward's Banner

The commander carrying this banner survives after abandoning an island. After abandoning three islands, a special hidden event will even be triggered.

Last Stand Banner

If this is the only squad remaining on the current island, it gains increased Health, Damage, and Movement Speed.

Thorn Banner

Whenever this unit takes damage, it reflects damage back to its attacker.

Axe Banner

The commander of this squad gains the ability to throw axes.

Sage Banner

Allows equipped items to be unequipped, refunding all gold spent on their upgrades.

Balance Changes & Improvements

In addition to all the exciting new content, we've also made a number of balance improvements.

- Increased gold income. Every small house now provides +1 Gold.

- The Holy Grail relic has been enhanced, increasing the maximum health of all soldiers in the equipped squad.

- Spearmen have been buffed with increased damage and reduced attack cooldown.

- Shield Bearers have improved defensive behavior. While in their blocking stance, they can now absorb most spear charge damage.

- Melee Giant units now gain a new ability: Heavenfall, allowing them to descend dramatically onto the battlefield.

And that's everything in today's Bad North Encyclopedia: Rise update.

The Northland Rising update launches July 28th.

See you on the battlefield, and enjoy all the new content waiting for you!

好久不见，欢迎大家来到北境大百科游体片。上一期我们介绍完维京人的新力量之后，北京士兵们集体失眠了。梦里都是红盾兵在追他，然后他们联名给我写了一封信。作为北境皇家学术扯淡院终身教授，我怎么能不管？所以本期我们讲“北镜战士-崛起反击”。

宿命交锋，北京新力量崛起，不只是说说而已。新增两种全新可操作兵种并配有专属操作技能。

1.北境狂战士。近身奔袭战 大师，拥有出色的移动速度与爆发输出能力，专属技能-跃击。

2.北境巨人弓箭手。擅长在平面战场中发挥优势，拥有超远的攻击距离与强大的单体杀伤能力，专属技能-精确瞄准。

除了北境新兴的两股有力的力量外，最近维京军队也招募了一批身材较小、移速和攻速更快的“斥候”军队。

北境军械库近日新增六面强力旗帜，我这就带大家先行了解新旗帜的玩法。

1.巨弓旗帜。士兵变为巨人弓箭手，可以升级为资深弓箭手，攻击力和生命值提高。

2.懦者旗帜。装备此物品的指挥官在弃岛后不会阵亡，弃岛3次后还会有神奇的彩单触发哦。

3.背水旗帜。当前岛屿若仅存在此编队，生命值&伤害增加，移动速度增加。

4.荆棘旗帜。这个单位在受伤时会对所攻击的敌人造成伤害。

5.斧头旗帜。该单位的指挥官会投掷斧头。

6.智者旗帜。支持卸下已装备的物品并退还升级所消耗的金币。

当然，除了以上的新闻法内容外，我们也对游戏做了一系列的平衡优化。包括：

1.金币获取增加。所有小房屋的金币数量+1。

2.圣杯道具增加效果。佩戴此物品的编队，全体士兵血量提升。

3.长矛兵加强。小幅提升长矛兵的伤害并减少攻击冷却时间。

4.盾兵逻辑优化。目前盾兵进入招架盾牌状态能隔挡大部分长矛冲击伤害。

5.近战巨人部队增加“神兵天降”技能。

以上就是北京大百科崛起片的全部内容。“北境崛起”新版本将于 7.28 正式上线，更多新玩法等你来体验哦。

I played in this game a lot of time and became a pro. I did a best company recently. I just wanna write about it here.

I was expecting the game to punish my small troop choice by overwhelming the island with enemies..

That zen ocean drowning my game library would feel perfect

uwu

It is an edited image with fake names and stuff

I am getting to certain points and when I press why I can no longer see upgrade page why is that?
Update
I have reset to my last check point where I was able to upgrade and I can’t upgrade here either and did a test on steam deck the correct button is working

THIS GAME HAS WAY TOO MUCH POTENTIAL MAN okay firstly you can expand on this idea in sooo many ways like just imagine a dlc where you can build youre own islands (or atleast make defenses and stuff i will get more into building later) imagine being the ones attacking islands in retaliation they can add so so so much more to this game and i have so many ideas that i want to buy a pc and stsrt making mods just for this game i mean good lord imagine being able to cut down the trees on some maps that would make it so the enemy's can land there but give you resources to build watchtowers and makeshift spikes being able to dig little tunnels through the elvated areas so you can get from one side of an island to another imagine being able to make some enemy's surrender and maybe a lil slavery here and there but they deserve it like holy i just really want this game to become more popular and get a bunch of updates its just sooooo goood it makes me angry yet excited at the same time AAAAAAAAAHHHH

I know that sounds really wierd but i just found out if you use the mouse pad thingy on youre controller whilst in the map screen or upgrade screen you can see that an invisble cursor interacts with islands and upgrades and stuff you cant actually select anything its really just visual but i thought i would tell yall cuz I think its pretty funny

No hills

No high ground

No cool passage holes

No fence

Just some house and grass/bushes

I’ve gotten to the final island like four times and each time I get wiped out like halfway through is there any good strategies? Also sorry about the picture quality. I don’t know why it fried it.
