* 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.

* HunterOfMonsters: The Jarls (and the Bogsveigirs added in the ''Tales of the Dragon'' expansion) deal bonus damage against myth units. However, as they are not classified as heroes, they are still vulnerable to myth unit's special ability. With that said, Bogsveigir, being archers, is less affected by the ability than Jarls.
* InstantMilitia: Gatherers and Dwarves can transform into an Ulfsark at a cost of another Ulfsark.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: The Throwing Axemen are the Norse's main ranged units (until ''Tales of the Dragon'' expansion added the Bogsveigir).

Also, unlike ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresII'', the Throwing Axemen throws small hatchets instead of large two-headed axes.

* ExtraOreDinary: His God Power summons a massive gold ore for you to mine which gets better depending on what age you choose to summon it in.
* ThemeParkVersion: Looks not too far off from the Marvel version of Thor, though he is at least a redhead.

* TheMinionMaster: Loki's Hersirs have the ability to randomly summon myth units while they are fighting. This allows them to add numbers in a middle of a fight, tipping the balance in Loki's favor.
* TheMole: His God Power allows you to turn an enemy unit into this, by giving you its line of sight without the enemy knowing (unless the enemy researches Omniscience)
* TheTrickster: His most defining trait. He tricks the heroes twice during the campaign, too. Probably for his [[ItAmusedMe amusement]]. [[spoiler: He claims the Battle Standard of Folstag will unite the Norse. It does... against you. Later, when it looks like you killed Gargarensis, turns out that it was Kemsyt, transformed by Loki]].

[[caption-width-right:168:"You have advanced to the Mythic Age through Faith in Baldr."]]

God of joy, purity, and innocence. Loved by all gods for his friendly demeanor but was killed by Loki. He will soon be reborn after the events of Ragnarok.

-->'''God Power''': Ragnarok (Transform all villagers into Heroes of Ragnarok, powerful hero units)\\
'''Unique Technologies''': Son of Sleipnir (Raiding Cavalry deal more damage to archers), Dwarven Auger (Portable Ram gain increased speed and attack and train faster), Arctic Gale (Dragon Boats gain speed and hack armor)\\
'''Myth Unit''': Fire Giant (a giant myth unit that hurls fireball that bounces into a line of enemies)\\
'''Focus''': Siege and Cavalry\\
'''Major God Availability''': Odin and Thor
----
* BatteringRam: Balder makes dwarven battering rams move faster, hit harder and be trained quicker.
* BlowYouAway: Subverted, Balder’s technology lets Siege ships move faster.
* GlassCannon: Compared to other giants, Fire Giants are rather frail, having less than half as many HP as Mountain Giants do. But their damage output is ''very'' good.
* IncendiaryExponent: Fire Giants are wreathed in flames and use them to attack from afar.
* LastDiscMagic: Ragnarok, which turns all villagers into Heroes of Ragnarok. While you have a powerful army, you destroy your entire economy and the enemies as well, so use it when you are about to finish the game.

* HunterOfMonsters: The Jarls (and the Bogsveigirs added in the ''Tales of the Dragon'' expansion) deal bonus damage against myth units. However, as they are not classified as heroes, they are still vulnerable to myth unit's special ability, however, Bogsveigir, being archers, is less affected by the ability than Jarls.

* AnAxeToGrind: Skadi grants Throwing Axemen better axes, increasing their damage.

* 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. Followers of Baldr have the Heroes of Ragnarok, who are created from your Gatherers and Dwarves when the "Ragnarok" god power is used.

* TheBerserker: The Ulfsarks, who got their name from the wolfskins they wear, like the berserkers and bearskins, are 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.

'''Unique Technologies''': Bravery (Huskarl gain increased attack and deal more damage to buildings), Berserkgang (Ulfsarks gain increased hitpoints and attack)\\

* AnimalMotif: Ravens. He gains ravens as scout units and raven heads on top of his UI.

* DeusExMachina: In the main campaign, once Brokk and Eitri repairs his hammer he uses it to stop Gargarensis and close the Norse Gate.

** Odin is unfortunately a Brute[=/=]Pariah - while he offers a good deal of bonuses to human units (especially elite ones) and siege weapons, he is extremely reliant on good early game raiding to succeed and his units are very vulnerable to archers, cavalry and base defences; also his infantry regenerate, but only very slowly unless they are not moving, and the Norse need to be constantly on the offence to be effective.

* ACommanderIsYou: Spammer/Brute. The Norse work very differently from the previous two civs, geared towards mobility and aggression with a "raiding" economy. The Norse gather resources from mobile Ox Carts, and they have two worker units: Gatherers can only build Farms and gather resources, and Dwarves can mine gold quickly but harvest food and wood slowly; buildings are constructed and repaired by their infantry. The Norse build no shrines or temples to their gods, [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy instead getting Favor through hunting and battle]]; any time a Norse unit is fighting anything in the game, they are gaining Favor. The Norse army is dominated by melee infantry with very high attack power, cheap anti-myth unit heroes called Hersirs and powerful myth units, but they are lacking in ranged options. For the Norse Major Gods:

[[folder:Ra]]
[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/raportrait.png]]

-->'''God Power''': Rain (Villagers gather food from Farms faster, including allies' and enemies')\\
'''Bonuses''': Pharaoh empower resource gathering more efficiently.\\
Priests can empower resource gathering and buildings.\\
Camelry and Chariot Archers have increased hitpoints and speed.\\
'''Technologies''': Skin of the Rhino (Villagers have increased armor and attack)\\
'''Focus''': Camels and Chariots

* AboveGoodAndEvil: Implied. He's worshiped both by the heroic Arkantos and the villainous Kamos depending on the campaign.
* NobleBirdOfPrey: He has the motif, being a benevolent deity with the head of a falcon.
* NonHumanHead: Has the head of a falcon, though it's different from the one of Horus (who still appears as a lesser god).
* OutOfFocus: For a TopGod of the Egyptian pantheon, he hardly shows up or is represented in the campaign. In the main campaign, Ra is only played twice and much of the arc's story involves returning Osiris's piece of his body back to wholeness.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: His divine power causes rain.

[[folder:Isis]]
[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/isisportrait.png]]

The Egyptian goddess of magic and Osiris' wife. She helps Amanra and Arkantos in their quest against Gargarensis.

* DeusExMachina: When Arkantos' forces are captured and Amanra is left alone, Isis answers to her prayer by summoning a huge number of mythological monsters to aid her.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Story-wise, she's the BigGood of the Egyptian campaign. Yet, sometimes, the enemies (especially Kemsyt, who's a follower of Set) use monuments worshiping her to block your god powers.
* HotGoddess: One of the hottest. Stands out among the other Egyptian deities who mostly have {{Non Human Head}}s or are reanimated corpses.
* HotWitch: Being the goddess of magic, this naturally follows.
* MsFanservice: Her in-game portrait shows her posing sexily in a midriff-bearing outfit and looking sultrily at the "camera".
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She's actively aiding her followers during the campaign.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Downplayed. He did kill Osiris out of jealousy and ambition, and did other nasty things to Horus. However, Set in the Egyptian mythology is not a GodOfEvil either. He's also one of Ra's protectors and defends him every day against Apep, a giant snake who embodies chaos and tries to eat Ra (the sun) every day during his course (at dawn or at sun set depending on the stories).
** Although several later Egyptian sources ''do'' portray him as evil, Set having been subjected to AdaptationalVillainy in his own mythology so the game's just continuing the tradition.
* TheAtoner: Maybe. In ''Titans'', he's your patron deity when you face the Titan Cerberus in Egypt. So it's either this or an EnemyMine situation.
* BadBoss: Implied, while Isis actually helps Amanra, Set doesn't seem to favor his follower Kemsyt that much. It doesn't help that Kemsyt is a DirtyCoward.
* TheBeastmaster: His followers can summon or convert wild animals (including crocodiles, monkeys, giraffes and rhinos) and use them in battle ''or'' steal any animals that are nearby the enemy to deny them of potential food.
* CainAndAbel: Kills his brother, Osiris out of sheer jealousy.
* EnemyMine: In ''Titans'', he's your patron deity during the fight against the Titan Cerberus in Egypt.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Implied. As noted above, he helps Kastor and his friends to protect Egypt from being destroyed by the Titan Cerberus, as he is their patron deity during the mission.
* EvilUncle: To Horus.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Kemsyt is one of his followers and the enemies you face in Egypt.
* GodOfEvil: The God of choice of your enemies during the Egyptian campaign.
* NonHumanHead: Has a head of an animal... but just WHAT animal is currently unknown, referred to in modern day as the "Set Animal" because it either went extinct, was poorly portrayed or never existed at all. However, the game implies it’s actually [[HeinousHyena a hyena]][[note]]The DS Game gives Hyenas of Set as a myth unit to Set players, and it is one of the basic Animals of Set that can be created by the Pharaoh. That being said, while hyenas ''do'' share a number of traits with the Set Animal, it more heavily matches an amalgation of all hyena species alive today, and none of them have the She's elongated snout[[/note]].
* OffstageVillainy: He killed Osiris so that Gargarensis and his army can open the gate without interference.

'''Myth Unit''': Anubite/Guardian Anubite (Fast-moving melee units that can jump to deal damage)\\
'''Focus''': Infantry and myth units\\
'''Major God Availability''': Isis and Set

* AdvertisedExtra: Oddly, he is used to represent the Egyptian god in the box art of the game alongside Zeus and Thor, despite being a Minor God.
* DarkIsNotEvil: A death god, but not a bad guy at all.
* FragileSpeedster: Anubite are fast and can leap at the enemies to reach them, but are rather frail.
