Overview[]
The Infantry versatility
Norse often leans towards offense as they can build Guard Towers, Fortresses and Military Buildings around the map with their infantry units, allowing sustained attacks on the enemy while all villagers can be put to gathering resources rather than building. They can also have great map control with their Seers' ravens and reliable Raiders. Their units are very pop efficient.[1][2]
