Norsemen
Template:Faction Created by Titus Tscharntke, with help from his son, Philipp, and Raphael Schröder (Weedkiller), the Norsemen faction is based on the medieval-period vikings, and compliment the Indian faction well, with similar cost units ranging from a cheap and simple spearman to strong battleaxe wielders to the mighty flying valkyrie. Part of the MegaPack techtree, the Norsemen were Tscharntke's second faction, after the Indians.

The Norsemen faction contains several retextured models from Magitech, such as the wild sow (based on Tech's pig) and the axe thrower (based on Tech's worker), but there's also a considerably greater degree of unique models compared to the Indian faction.
