that being “Thralls”, The Norse begins with a certain number of thralls… additional thralls can be acquired by defeating enemy units, enemy military units having a low chance of converting to a thrall… while enemy villagers have a high chance.

To make up for the weaker economy the Norse civilization is in requirement of additional workforce…. The Housecarl comes in both cavalry and infantry version… they are the only cavalry Norse gets. they make up for it with both a higher base speed and the ability to inspire nearby non-housecarl infantry units. Housecarls: The Elite troops of a jarl, the only Norse troops equipped with heavy armor, sword and shields… while lighter armored than the elite troops of other civilizations. Norse Warrior, in addition to the regular Norsemen, the more professional Norse warriors are recruited with a random set up equipment, being in the variant of spear and shield, sword and shield, and dane axes… each version having their stats and bonus damage based on the weapon’s usage. Norsemen: The basic “villager” unit for Norse is a double unit with double the cost of a regular villager, and with a 75% gathering rate of regular villagers… instead, they are also the civilizations basic military unit, wielding a spear and shield in battle. I’d like to make a “idea” base for how a Norse civilization should be designed in AoE 4, lets pool our ideas.
