From what I can tell, it's mainly meant as a last-ditch GP.

ya, i agree with Moony, a last-minute ditch all out effort. it would be hard to get your economy back. and how about the Frost GP, could be used quite strategically

I wonder if Aom will be like Aoc, where in an average game a good player will have up to, if not more than 100 villagers. If so then ragnarok will be extremely powerful! Imagine an instant army of 100 hesirs! It wouldn't even have to be a last resort thing if you had enough villigers and enough town centers to replace them. Also, it would be a great response to a surprise invasion if by some chance you didn't have enough of a regular army, although I guess this is pretty unlikely if you are the norse.
Still I look forward to really thrashing people with this!

With an army of 100 heroes on a 1v1 I don't think you'd need to rebuild you economy after using this GP, if ya catch my drift

I'd use it when my army was done for, and I was about to be conquered (every game)
Either that, or I send my villies after em..like in AoK TC

It is not like AoC as claimed by ES.
I think they said gathering resources was easier and you won't need as much villagers. That of course is up to you if you WANT to create 100 villagers but ES implies that

Don't forget that about half of bthe Norse villies will be Dwarves, and I guess they won't turn to heroes. wow, even the lil' dwarves become heroes .

The god I am waiting for is Hades, I bet after a huge battle or something, you can probably use his power to raise the dead

Reminds me the Jihad tech in AoE1, just with less side-effects. (the Jihad made all villies you ever build be stronger, but inefficient workers)

I think the Egyptian will have something similar to this under Anubis; he's the guardian of the dead in Egyptian mythology. The main god Isis is related to this also. I'm speculating that Anubis will likely be a minor god for Isis, and the GP will be somewhere along the line of raising the dead (they might be called mummies ).

i hated that tech, never used it their carrying capacity went down to 5 or 6

I think the farmers' capacity went to 2. When I was a n00b (note: long ago) I always invented it to get stronger villies, and then thought there's an iron-age bug with the villies capacity .
But once I won a hard game thanks to that tech .

Hammer- If u want to raise soldiers from the dead, also keep Odin in mind. His army, the Einherjar, consisted of (at the time of Ragnarok) 432,000 slain Nordic warriors and heroes, brought to Valhalla by his Valkyries. I'm willing to bet Odin, in addition to Hades, will get some kind of bonus like that.
Alexander- I honestly doubt Anubis will be used as a resurrecter. He was the lord of death, but he didn't do any resurrecting stuff. He guided the recently-perished souls to the underworld, and to have their souls weighed and judged to see if they were worthy of entering the afterlife in the first place. The closest deity that Egyptians had as a resurrecter was indeed Isis, but only because she briefly revived Osiris so that she could conceive Horus. Her primary talents lie elsewhere.

Smilie, it actually went down to 2, but theres something that I liked about it, you see. Have you heard about the VUSH in AoE1?
Villager Rush - hehe mass up 50 to 100 villagers, research jihad, and go perform jihad on the enemy hehe.
