| NORSE |
| Norse Hill Fort: The Hill fort is the equivalent of the Greek and Egyptian Fortress. Except it is cheaper and weaker then the two. However, it does share the same capabilities. It can fend of enemy attackers with arrows, and can allow friendly units to seek shelter inside, but unlike the AoK Castle, will not be able to produce units. |
 |
| The Norse have cheap buildings, cheaper then the Greek's or the Egyptian's buildings. However, having cheap buildings IS a setback, for example cheap buildings mean cheap buildings. Their buildings are also weaker then the Greek's and Egyptian's buildings. Another thing that is unique to norse buildings is that there only built by the Norse's infantry...their "gathers" cannot build, they only gather (hence their name). |
 |
| Norse Temple: Temples are supposedly used for training Mythology units and Researching your god's Mythological improvements. Heros (the Norse hero is called the hersir) can also carry relics (which can give your civilization powerful bonuses...) and house them at the temple. |
| Norse Egyptian Greek Economy Buildings |
 |
| Norse Longhouse: Infantry play a large role to the Norse. Infact, such a large role that they have no regular archers! The Longhouse can produce infantry significantly faster then the Greek or the Egyptians. They can also build their Norse Hero, the hersir, at the Longhouse. |
 |
| Norse Stable: The Norse cavalry is suppose to help support the Norse infantry. Since Ensemble Studios has said that if the Norse loses his infantry, then he, in turn, will lose the game (since its the infantry that build buildings instead of the gatherers). So most of his army will be infantry, with the cavalry supporting them. |
 |
| Norse Siege Workshop: The Siege Workshop can build catapults, Ballistas, Battering Rams and Siege Towers. This can also be used to upgrade siege units. No word if any of the Norse gods get siege upgrades yet. |
 |
| Norse Tower: The Norse tower of AoM behaves the same way a tower of AoK does. It is immobile, and it fires arrows at oncoming attackers. It can also garrison friendly units, which increases the attack of the tower. |
| Norse Outpost: If the Norse outpost has the same function as its AoK counterpart, it will not be able to attack, just sit there and have a huge LOS. However, there are rumors that if you garrison units in the Norse outpost it will attack... |
 |
| Norse Lighthouse: No word yet from Ensemble Studios from what the Lighthouse does. Some people think it produces non-military boats (like fishing ships and trade ships), while others think it is there to research naval upgrades...and some thing it does both... |
| Norse Dock: The Norse Dock allows the player to build, and upgrade naval units. However, it seems like non-military ships, like the fishing boat, are produced at the Lighthouse... |
