.Now, incase you want to try Thor out, I will now read you the Advanced Norse strategy for him out of the official strategy book itself;
The Start. Queue Two dwarves right away and set your TC's rally point at your gold mine.
Dwarves 1 and 2 (starters). Send these to your starting gold mine with you Ox cart and get that gold-mining improvment as soon as you can!
Dwarf 3. To Gold.
Dwarf 4. To Gold.
Gatherer 1, 2, 3. Gold. You may run out of gold for you dwarf production so build this gatherer and send him to the mine, but after this you should be able to go all dwarves.
Dwarf 5, 6, and 7. To Gold. Take your three Gatherers and put one on stragler trees and the other two on chickens.
Dwarf 8. To Gold. Now, build an Ox Cart and put it on the gatherers at the chickens.
Dwarf 9. To hunting. As soon as you have the wood, get the hunting dogs improvement and send all your gatherers and the Ox Cart to a huntable area.
Dwarf 10. To hunting (or gold if your having troubles with Dwarf keep-up)
Have your Ulfsark build a house.
Dwarf 11. To Hunting
Dwarf 12. To wood.
Dwarf 13. To Hunting.
Dwarf 14. To hunting. As soon as you have enough wood, build your temple.
Dwarves 15-22. Keep building Dwarves and assign them to food until you have the 400 you need. Advance to the Classical Age.
Advance through Freyja. Once you begin your advance take the gatherers from hunting and task them to wood. You will need at least 150 food for Medium Infantry, though. And if you have the wood, build the Dwarven Armory during the advance as well.
In the Classical Age, build a Longhouse and train Throwing Axemen. Once you have an army of around eight Throwing Axemen and have built all the buildings you need, it's time to attack. Since this strategy doesn't rely heavily on subtlety, feel free to attack head-on. Our Goal here is to overwhelm the enemy. Focus on taking out the enemy Military buildings that they are trying to put up, and remember to take out their towers. (Don't forget to try to kill enemy villagers too, however)
You can continue to build dwarves instead of Gatherers (and keep sending them to wood and gold), so your food resources can be saved for improvements to attack and armor. If you ever feel you don't have time to ove your dwarves to a new Gold mine, invoke Thor's Dwarven mine God power to provide you an extra 1,000 Gold at the old mine.
Once you have created a second Longhouse, research Medium Infantry. During this, build a third Longhouse. Continue training Throwing Axemen from all three Longhouses. Select the armory and research both Classical and Heroic Aged pierce Improvments while you fight, to protect the Axemen from archers. Once you start to Overwhelm your opponent, switch you gold miners over to a farming operation and play the game normally if you wish...
There ya go, thats it from the book itself. Just holler if you need Loki's strategy. I'm sorry, but there isn't one for Odin.
Thanks for reading,
