Unique Ability
Knarr: units can enter Ocean tiles as soon as Shipbuilding is researched, instead of waiting for Cartography, and pay no extra Movement cost to embark or disembark. Naval melee units can heal in neutral territory.
Norway
Norway is built for an aggressive, mobile early game — a naval raiding identity that hits hard and fast before falling off in the eras that follow.
Unique Unit: Berserker
A strong melee unit that can embark and disembark without losing movement, ideal for coastal raiding.
Unique Infrastructure
Norway has no unique building or district — its strength comes entirely from its civilization ability and Berserker.
How to Play Norway
- Commit to raiding early — Norway loses much of its relative advantage once the AI catches up militarily.
- Use Berserkers to strike coastal cities directly rather than committing to a prolonged siege.
- Treat the early military window as a resource-gathering opportunity, not just a combat one.
