Norse Myth Units

 

Raven

When the Odin player reaches the Classical age, two raven scouts are summoned. Ravens do not have a very large line of sight, but as flying units, they can bypass obstacles that ground units would find impassable.

If a Raven is killed, it respawns thirty seconds later at one of the player's temples.

Fenris Wolves are fairly weak myth units, but also fairly cheap. However, you can increases their power by grouping one to five fenris wolves together - the more wolves you have in one location, the higher their speed and attack will become. Each wolf increases the attack and speed and any other Fenris Wolves within 25 range by 25%, up to a limit of five wolves in one area. Once you have more than 5 wolves, you won't get any further increase.
