This was inspired by Vendetta's topics about some Nordic Units. So I thought we need a structure that trains Nordic units ONLY. Also this structure should only be implemented with the Nordic units.

Kind of like a Roman Garrison... This is a cool idea should we implement some of the nordic units.

Yes we should.

Yes cool!

where is the stats and image?

I like your idea. Perhaps with some details. This suggestion could become a reality.

Cost: 7 turns
Unit Cap: 3
Heal Rate: 5 (resting near hearth w/ food and Mead)

"This is the main hall in which Nordic clansmen conduct matters of celebration and war. Ruled by Thanes, Jarls, and High Kings, these Nordic Holds house the mightiest and most fearless of warriors"

Some Unit Suggestions...

Norse Archer
Nordic Huscarl
Nordic SwordStaffmen
Nordic Raiders (like an upgrade to the axe Knight)
Norse War Hero.

I hope that this helps.

Can we look at this?

Some of axe-tipe fighter specialisation wud be great to put exclusive here.

Now we have 3 units with axe...
With Berserker 4.


About names I don't think should contain all the "Nordic" but whatever
I'll look around what else cud fit.

Even Druids or stg

We cud even give some a trap making skill and I have idea for a group trait but later when have some concrete stuff.


Now for building. How looks like
Desc. or pic?

Well should be easy enough to make.

How about a tech... SEA INVADERS

"The Viking king has his sight on the nearby islands and orders his subjects to prepare the long boats for invasion"
The Vikings now build larger longboats capable of carrying many troops through the harsh sea

Cost 4 turns
Effect: carry capacity of Viking ship +1

Also if Nordic halls is built near sea it can build Viking ships

I like this

My second idea aside of axe unit upgrades is
"-basic warrior unit "will get ability to summon a bonfire

Research Cost 4?
BONFIRE
Hight CD has vanishing (3)

Privides +2sight +20%s resist and perhaps minor healing
Dont stack self - Range 3.

"In harsh environments this religious oats are important both survival for and streighten the connection, community"
Feast the victory and recover after battle.

Woud have the Drawback is visible on fog maps - with range 1
(something like bonesight just for evribody - pretty interesting if day night circle is added)


And an oxymoron for the end
Bonfire doesn't burn (dmg)

Isn't that basically camping? Well, whatever works

Well here is an img...

Thoughts?

Make sure the shadows are transparent.

Already done

1st is at 50-75%
2nd is at 25-50%

L.

that is AWESOME !

*She

So, stats?

Cost: 4
Hp: 50
Armor: 1/4
Carry Cap: 4
Heal Rate: 8

I think 50 hp at base is a bit too much. Especially if it is affected by masonry and secone tech.

I would suggest to give it 35 hp and 0/4 armor.
And lower carry cap down to 3.
Should also have -40% construction rate and +50% mend rate.

cool! anyone tries a jsoning?

Cost: 4
Hp: 35
Armor: 0/4
Carry Cap: 4
Heal Rate: 8
Construction Rate: -40%
Mend Rate: -50%

. . .
Technically, nord halls were able to hold even more ppl than the Garrison's of other races.
Usually do to high birth and mortality rates. . .

So which units should be put to be produced here?
Axe Thrower
Axe Knight
Berserk
Viking Ship

Am I missing something?
I would put here additionally maceman and maybe voulgier.
And build time 7 turns and 5 with ambidexteria (with 0.6 construction) or the same as roman garrison (then it would be 0.9 construction )?

Anything with axes, automatically Norsk?

The axe thrower is supposed to be either Germanic or Gaul.

Also we have 2 vikings units, one is producable the other is still a hero, but maybe it can be buildable through here.

Well... There is still the huscarl suggestion.

Making different variants can definitely fill out this structure.

OK, I actually made it produce: axe throwers, axe knights, berserkers, maceman and viking ships.
Additionally it would be building unique to upgrade axe throwers.
Testing now, but doesn't crash, and builds, so should be good.
Having build steps would be nice.

Uh, huscarl is a battle ax, one of the heaviest infact, not a throwing ax.

I think he's thinking of http://www.ageofstrategy.net/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=1561.
By the way, I made some mistakes in json. Corrected.

We should add some variety to this structure and give one unit a sax (shortsword), and a more expensive unit a round tipped double edged sword for historical flavor.
