Townsfolk Adds Northsmen Faction in New Update

Northsmen Invade Townsfolk in Major Update

Short Circuit Studios is rolling out a significant update for their 4X strategy game Townsfolk, marking a stark departure from their previous releases. While Teeny Tiny Towns and Teeny Tiny Trains embraced a minimalist charm, Townsfolk leans into a bolder visual style – now amplified by its newest faction.

Viking Warriors Storm the Battlefield

The fearsome Northsmen arrive with fully designed longboats, unique buildings, and specialized tactics for both Skirmish and Campaign modes. This faction introduces a complete tech tree, giving players fresh strategic depth to explore.

The update also delivers quality-of-life improvements, including:

• A new Turn-Based mode for methodical players
• Multiple Skirmish mode save slots for testing different strategies

Evolving Beyond Teeny Tiny Roots

Townsfolk represents Short Circuit Studios' ambitious leap into deeper tactical gameplay, contrasting with their earlier casual-focused titles. While the competitive strategy market is crowded, this update demonstrates the developer's commitment to expanding the game's scope.
