Bruce Shelley said that the Norse have a special villager unit (the dwarf), which can harvest resources much faster!!! I wonder what other civs may have. I think the egyptians should have slaves that build buildings much faster (after all, they built the pyramids), and greeks, well i not sure what they may have. what do u ppl think?

Well, I've been visiting AoM for a while, but i just signed up for the forums today. i guess i missed the news about the dwarves. alright, so maybe egyptian villagers could cost less? but it would be really cool if the villagers were all different and had different abilites, kinda like starcraft, xcept in that game only the names were different.

About the tree farm, remember the SS's around Christmas? how there was a cart pulling some trees, and 3 trees were on the ground. Well, maybe there are no tree farms, but carts can pull trees from the wilderness. this could cut back on the time it takes to cut the trees with normal villagers. however, they may have just put the trees there because of the christmas theme. just an idea. a very wild idea.

I thought they said in the "Bruce Shelly" chat that the dwarf can mine gold faster?

Yes, the Norse Dwarves in AoM mine gold faster.

I am positive that the Egyptians didn't build the pyramids with their slaves. Even though the pyramids were their largest construction feats, they didn't use slaves to build them because they were the sacred tombs and spiritual resting places of their GOD-kings, their pharoahs. Using FOREIGN slaves (like Israelites) to build the pyramids for their EGYPTIAN pharoahs would be heresy to them. So they never did that. Thus, your analogy is false, and so I don't think the Egyptians should get slaves, after all, every ancient civilization used slaves.

You are correct. Slaves didn't build the pyramids. Normal workers did. They did it because they thought the only way they would be able to go on to the afterlife or something like that was to build a pyramid so their leader could go to the afterlife.
