1. The least hotkeyed civ in the game. Only a handful of buildings to learn.
2. Quick advance times and the ability to rush (some as early as a krush)
3. RC spam beats hippikons in classic inevery aspect. Pop wise, cost wise and the ability to change what they make quicker than greek due to having one building that makes 4 different units to out smart the enemy whereas it is more difficult for greek to do the same.
4. Best raiding units. RC may not be powerful, but they can go and kill a few villagers and dissapear without much bother. And since they cost little pop, you can raid in 2 places at once with decent numbers IF they make almost pure RC.
5. Infantry can build. This is probably one of the most OP aspects as you can easily be side rushed. Greek can easily beat down a FB, but most other civs crumble like a soggy biscuit when you are rushed, especially atty.
6. Fimblewinter. These wierd things can kill anything with ease, even buildings and heroes sometimes.
7.Rag/FW. If he gets mythic while you are heroic, there isn't much hope, as mythic MU are powerful with norse, as they are with most if not all civs. Rag can give you many free soldiers and this is more of an OP mix of GPs than a/e. Yes, you can ceasefire FW, but you still have to deal with rag. Unless you have a more than half amount of counter rag soldiers you probably won't win the battles. They will also use myth.
I've had my share of Zeus/Oranos vs norse loses. Gahh. Rant over, comment what you like.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
