Love that ships can pillage! The anti-England, perfect.
LUA: Thunderbolt of the North - melee ships can pillage adjacent land tiles. Longship - can heal in neutral territory.
UU: Berserker - pillaging costs one less movement; bonus to attacking, weaker on defense.
UI: Stave Church - faith adjacency bonus from forests (replaces Temple).
UA: "Naval Focused Civ" p): no movement cost to embark/disembark, can enter deep ocean at Shipbuilding tech.
Kinda funny that this went up right after the Japanese steam leak that had the information for the Kongo and Alfosno in the text field, but Norway for the image. Someone got their wires crossed somewhere along the line! I did suspect a Civ reveal today though, after the word from the Chinese rep
This sounds really fun! I like the UAs!
Not sure about the character animation of Harald though. Looks a bit unnatural, although the model is great and so is the beautiful background art
Ok, mainly naval, so until now, it will be a dual between norway vs england in archipelago maps and yeah, seems quite to suck in pangaea maps ...
Only the berserker sounds fun and the stave church, I dont know, how big will it be? So you want to keep your woods next to your holy sites. Btw, are UB build in half the time too?
So I have to wait, if that civ will be good in any other maps then archipelago, continent maybe, but yeah, maybe im just not that big fan on naval focused civs because it is still something lacking, dont know what exactly ...

That is way more about settling the CITY on the coast. If you put a district or anything that touches the coast Norway has your number. Its cool, especially since pillaging is going to be so much more effective now.
Harold looks like a fun guy to watch on the leader screen. I love the warmongering bullies as a peacefull builder kind of guy. That moment when you are busy building a library or wonder and see his forces on your border and his leader animation war declaration. Just Epic.
Pilaging is Always exciting. Just punishing your opponent badly in one war with pillaging. And finishing him off in the next one.
