Many in Late Antiquity found themselves at the crossroad: Keeping the Old Gods and customs or convert to Christianity and find a new way of living. As I liked how the game shows this in the Roman technology tree, I tried to make something similar with Germanic Paganism. The level 3 temple buildings will now give acces to new custom units that bring back the spirit of ancient Germanic warfare, as honouring the Old Gods means honouring the ancestors and their ways. Therefore, those who honour them most would also fight like their forefarthers, earning their protection and the blessing of the Gods:


Wodanaz Spears
" Protected by the All-Father, these men ditch heavy armour in favour of even larger spears, swifter stabbing and the extra portion of rage."
(requires Blood Altar)

Taiwaz Berserkers
"Mighty Taiwaz, I killed this one for you! This one too! ... and that one!"
(requires Sacred Forest)

Valkyries of Freya
"Armed with bow and spear, these resolute tribeswomen honour Lady Freya by making sure that there are always enough dead heroes for Freyas hall Sessrumnir, where one half of the fallen warriors will be carried to."
(requires Germanic Burial Site)


Protected by the Gods and ancestors, all new units are very lightly armoured, relying on speed and skill-at-arms. Honouring the old ways, they are deeply connected with their surroundings and are experts at raiding and ambushes. Resemblence with iconic units from Rome II is very much intended.

Update 1:
shields changed to germanic / celtic round shields to avoid problems with hex shield pattern; different bow mesh for valkiries; slightly altered unit stats and recruitment costs for better balancing; redundant unit abilities removed

Update 2:
New & stylish custom unit icons
Wodanaz Spears now grudgingly wear light chainmail for extra stabbing time
custom skins for Germanic Noble Swordsmen who now look as flashy as you'd expect
