Everyone gets a phase where they want to make changes and tweaks to a game they like, so now it's my turn. --- General Goal : When Retold released, a few things were added such as Godi, Hirdmen, and Freyr they added to Norse without feeling like they changed the core of how Norse functioned. With these new toys, a few things feel like they got overlooked. Tyr and Baldr are still the only minor gods with two upgrades. Godi upgrades are non-existent, they only get the Sessrumnir 10% HP (weird for a ranged unit), and 5% speed through Hall of Thanes, both underwhelming. Freyr introduced a lot of new concepts, and I think it's time some of his ideas made their way back to some of the older units. Changes: ~ New Hel Tech: Einvigi, 200g, 20 favor. Hersir deal 2x to other Heroes, Godi deal 3x to other Heroes. Increase favor generation of Heroes when fighting Heroes and Myth by 50%. Piggybacking on the idea of Vidar's Twilight of the Gods, this Hel tech is based around the idea that Hel likes her Myth units, and would love an excuse to bring down enemy heroes with her own. 2x and 3x feel like about the right amount that a Hersir or a Godi would feel like an expensive Peltast hitting an archer in terms of damage. ~ Bragi buff: Thurisaz Rune. Now also applies its 10% speed boost and 0.5/s regeneration to Godi. A 10% speed boost is enough to bring Godi to about 4.7-4.8 speed, 5.0 if Forseti is involved, which starts to become meaningful for them. 0.5/s regeneration isn't exactly Hyperion's Heroic Renewal, but between that and their reasonable speed, they can escape bad engagements. Also entertains the idea of teching into Bragi as a minor god who can "counter flying". ~ New Tyr Tech: Dwarven Ingenuity, 150g, 10 favor. Ballistae are significantly quicker to aim, have a faster projectile, train time -35%, and deal 2x damage to Myth. Until Aegir came along, Ballistae didn't have a minor god upgrade. Since Tyr emphasizes human armies with Berserks and Huskarls, it feels on-brand to
