History Characters / AgeOfMythologyNorseCivilization

* Regional Riff: "[[https://youtu.be/MBviv8R4BSU?si=LVCOmFFNPeLwMbv_ Of Norse Not!]]", when playing as the Norse.

** The seemingly out-of-place Norse army in Egypt seen in ''Fall of the Trident'' is a sly nod to how Vikings have historically made their presence felt as far as the Mediterranean.

* RapePillageAndBurn: Norse is encouraged to aggressively raid their enemies because they generate Favor quickly by fighting. Since their infantry can construct buildings instead of their villagers, they can set up a forward base close to their enemy base and fight as soon as they finish.

* SkillGateCharacter: Odin has many features that make it easy for a player to get acquainted with how the Norse work. But you may want to play other Major Gods once you get past the skill gate.

* TheDreaded: The moment Arkantos spots an Einherjar, he proclaims that his party "are doomed".

* MutuallyExclusivePowerups: If you follow the Warship route, you get the choice in the Mythic Age of a pair of bonuses for the Dragon Boats via Baldr (the "Arctic Gale" tech which increases speed and hack armor) or another naval Myth Unit via Tyr (the Jormund Elver).

* MutuallyExclusivePowerups:
** In the Classical Age you're guaranteed a healing bonus, but you have to choose between Freyja's Valkyrie healing Myth Units or Forseti's "Healing Spring" God Power.
** In the Heroic Age, you're given the option to further empower your infantry and Myth Units in general and your Ulfsarks in particular (Bragi) or more strengths to other parts of your army in the form of a bonus to an underused unit ("Huntress Axe" and his attack bonus for Throwing Axemen) an economical bonus ("Winter Harvest") and a giant supporting Myth unit that can be further enhanced (the Frost Giant into the even beefier and heavy hitting Frost Giant of Thrym).

* MutuallyExclusivePowerups:
** In the Classical Age you're granted an infantry bonus, the question is if you want Einherjars to empower your army (Heimdall) or if you want extra armor for your Ulfsarks as well as another infantry unit in the form of the Troll (Forseti).
** In the Heroic Age the question is more about further improving your infantry (Bragi) or improving other areas of your army (Njord).
** Finally, in the Mythic Age, the choices are to instantly create more powerful Myth Units (Hel) or keep improving your army (Tyr).

* DeathOrGloryAttack: While you have a powerful army, you destroy your entire economy and the enemies' as well.

* DropTheHammer: Hersir are all armed with big hammers.
* HeroUnit: The Hersir is the Norse hero produced in the Longhouse and Temple. They earn double amount of favor when fighting and, starting at Classical Age, they can slowly generate Favor.
* TacticalRockPaperScissors: Hersir deals 6x damage to myth units, and deals 3x damage to Animals of Set.

* TacticalRockPaperScissors: Huskarl deals 100% bonus damage against archers, but deal 25% less damage against Cheiroballista.

* EvilLaugh: Does this, usually after commiting his tricks.
* ForTheEvulz: In his backstory, he become bored the life of being a god and decided to use his powers for pissing off anyone and '''everyone'''.

--> '''Skadi:''' Huntress Axe[[note]]Longhouse, attack +20%[[/note]]

* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Throwing Axemen are the Norse's main ranged units (until ''Tales of the Dragon'' expansion added the Bogsveigir). Unlike other ranged units, they are classified as infantry and deal hack damage instead of pierce damage. Also, unlike ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresII'', the Throwing Axemen throws small hatchets instead of large two-headed axes.

* AnnoyingArrows: Raiding Cavalry has more Pierce armor than other Norse units, making it an efficient, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin raiding cavalry]].
* FragileSpeedster: Raiding Cavalry are fast, but not overtly tough, best used against groups of archers, siege units and villagers, and not much else as they lack the hitpoints to stand firm against infantry and myth units

--> '''Njord:''' Ring Giver[[note]]Hill Fort, HP +25%[[/note]]

* HunterOfMonsters: The Jarls deal bonus damage against myth units. However, as they are not classified as heroes, they are still vulnerable to myth units' special abilities.
* MightyGlacier: Downplayed, Jarls are tough, good against myth units and archers, but are a lot slower than normal cavalry. They're still faster than regular infantry and most myth units though.

* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: The Dwarves are a Norse worker who specializes in mining.

* NemeanSkinning: The Ulfsark, who got their name from the wolfskins they wear, like the berserkers and bearskins, is the main Norse infantry, equivalent to the Greek Hoplites and Egyptian Spearmen. They are affected by Tyr's "Berserkergang" technology, which gives them extra hitpoints and attack.

* DeusExMachina: In the main campaign, once Brokk and Eitri repairs his hammer, he uses it to stop Gargarensis and close the Norse Gate.
* DropTheHammer: His weapon of choice, which appears in the UI as a symbol, as well as the ultimate attack upgrade. In the campaign, Loki tricked him into destroying Mjolnir, which forced Thor to order Brokk and Eitri in repairing his hammer. Once the hammer is fixed, he used it to shut the gate.

* HunterOfMonsters: The Jarls deal bonus damage against myth units. However, as they are not classified as heroes, they are still vulnerable to myth unit's special ability.

* AnachronismStew: The Norse stand out from the other original civilizations by resembling an ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresII'' faction in terms of aesthetic, given that their architecture and human units wouldn't look out of place in the Medieval era.

* ThemeParkVersion: Aside from the sagas and Scandinavian folklore, the Norse also have significant Wagnerian touches, such as with the horned helmets.

* AKindOfOne: Subverted with the Battle Boar: It's a lesser replica of Gullinbursti, made by Brokk and Eitri. The original Gullinbursti's creation is the focus of the Golden Gift campaign.
