In this video I cover how Norse favour gain & Hersir's spawn work. This video was made in collaberation with "Ippert" who factchecked many of the things mentioned in this video.
After watching this video you will have a better understanding of both the norse favour gain and how/what type of units spawn with a Hersir. (hero)

The sheer amount of damage an average Hersir needs to do for a myth unit to spawn is pretty crazy, especially when you roll 'poorly' and get one of the more expensive myth units. I always knew it had to do with the damage % you've done but i didn't know by how much. If i ever see a fire giant pop out i will retire that hersir to Valhalla because he clearly deserved it. The man did more damage than most greek hero units would do in a normal game.

@MTlelek 3 жыл бұрын

I dont think that the favor required must be done by single hersir, all hersirs damage/favor counts and the one whose shot reaches the favor needed gets the spawn. Single hersir probably dies way before it gains by itself the favor required for spawn. For examle in the test with 9 toxotes the myth would spawn also if 5 hersirs were killing them, but the one who reaches the favor gets the spawn.

@starcraft2own 3 жыл бұрын

@@MTlelek Are you guessing or have you done the test? I mean i think there is a reason you don't get fire giants and the like when you play loki and that's because to me it doesn't seem like a collective pool at all.

@MTlelek 3 жыл бұрын

@@starcraft2own Thats how I understood the video and what my game experience suggests. Becuse if the pool was individual, it would happen every so often than two or more hersir get spawn at the same time and it never happpens. o may get an impressio that fire giant is rare because the amount of time in mythic age may be short and also at that point the random selection is from all myth unit - clssical, heroic and mythic, so the probability of a particular myth unt spawning is decreased. I should do the test though snd kill 9 toxotes with 8 hersir

@starcraft2own 3 жыл бұрын

@@MTlelek I might be wrong but i feel like i've had units pop out very close to eachother. But if it is collective then the second your first myth unit pops, if you are in mythic age then the pool will take that into account and allow mythic age myth units in the pool instantly. If it's individual then only new hersirs or those that popped a unit after you reached mythic age will be able to get fire giants. Which could explain why they're rare if the pool is individual. Yes, please do the 9v9 test to see if a unit spawns. I feel like if it's collective it means after every set amount of kills your army get you get a free myth unit. That just seems strange to be if i'm honest. And it doesn't feel that consistent for me either.

@MTlelek 3 жыл бұрын

@@starcraft2own Only the favor gained by hersirs fighting counts of course. I did the test but I didnt find how to put in editor other age than archaic so I got no spawns no matter what.... I might be wrong though, it seems you can get too much spawns if it is collective, but also if it is individual, immagine many harsirs would die just before their spawn and you can end up with next to no spawns. Individual hersir hardly manages to kill more units by itself , let alone 9 toxotes...

@@necr0172 Each activity has an animation (e.g. swinging the pickaxe for gold mining, swinging the axe for chopping wood and so on..). For each swing a dwarf gathers resources at the following speed: Food from Farm: 0.53 Food from Hunt: 0.68 Food from Herds: 0.58 Wood from normal Trees: 0.8 Wood from Gaia Trees: 1.0 and Gold: 1.09 Regular villagers gather a bit more than 25% faster from all resources but gold, there they are slower with a rate of 0.9. Thor´s dwarves still mine with a rate of 1.09 but get the 25% bonus for all other resources as well, making them slightly less good as Gatherers but still superior in gold mining.

@ChronoJJ 3 жыл бұрын

I dont think that info is accurate. It appears he gave you gather rate per second and not per animation. Actual gather rates dont match the numbers shown in game because of animations. A 10% upgrade is not actually 10%, it could be higher or lower. It's because of how animations work. If a vil is at 9 resources but can carry 10, and starts its animation at 9, it has to complete the entire animation. Theoretically it could gather 3 during the length of an animation, but in this case only gathers 1 because of carry limit. While on paper dwarves gather worse than gatherers, in some situations they are just as good. There is an excel spreadsheet that has all the true gather rates with every technology. I'll try to link it when I am at the pc.

To my understanding, they can still do that. Granted, I'm not sure if the bug update they had with Extended Edition a while back still works the same way, but basically what I understood from how it used to work was if you played as Loki but by some way you were able to have control of one, just one unit from another civ, you could spawn myth units from that civ. I know for a fact if you played as Loki and garrisoned the Bridle of Pegasus (I think that's what it's called) relic and had a Pegasus, you could spawn Greek myth units.

However since this was the campaign that means Arkantos & Amanra were part of my squad so there’s a Greek and Egyptian unit right there. I’ll have to try out that trick to see if it works

Is it true that if you have the bridle of Pegasus relic in your temple a Loki player, your hersirs have a chance to spawn Greek myth units too? I imagine it's a myth because when I tested it in an AI game it never happened, but I was wondering if you had heard of this before!

@ElAlame1n 3 жыл бұрын

I suspected as much lol. The "logic" is that, since you have the Pegasus relic, the game makes the Greek pantheon available "in the background," which doesn't matter for most players since they have no way of accessing it.... except for Loki players, who then have a very small chance to spawn a Greek myth unit (as well as the normal chance of spawning a Norse one) since the Greek pantheon has been "activated" and made accessible through the hersir summon mechanic. Same thing, but for the Atlanteans, if a Loki player captures a Hesperides tree from an Atlantean player, and can train dryads!

Experienced Modder here, is not possible. I still tested it 10 times for you and not a single greek myth units was spawned. I can also explain to you why. The Pegasus itself is not restricted to the Greeks, it's just the techtree file that tells the game to enable it for Greek cultures. Furthermore the relic simply activates a respawn effect at your temple where a new Pegasus will be created if there is none there already. Nothing activates in the background

@voidgods 3 жыл бұрын

RNG would create situations where you could mathematically spawn 2 MU in quick succession or after just a single hit which would probably be broken and exploitable (gather a bunch of Hersirs, hit a building once, you will probably get a free unit). The way it functions forces you to actually use the units to fight as they need to be alive and hitting stuff, which makes it more balanced (and also means that Loki should be favored in prolonged and small scale fights (which also means keeping the same units alive through healing is super important to get that value))

The Norse please their Gods by proving their prowess and honor in battle. They gain favor by causing damage to all units and all buildings except Walls. Each unit and building has a set total amount of favor that it can earn, and each blow dealt by a human unit earns a fraction of this total amount. Hersirs also generate a trickle of favor per minute.

I sort of feel bad for the ways of gaining favor. The Greeks only need to ramp up 30 prayers and they get a constant influx of favor as if they got a Plenty Vault. Egyptians has their monuments, but only Ra has the best ones since he can empower them. But even then, it's just slow. If Norse had 30 Hersirs, they will only generate at the speed of 10 praying Greeks. Atlanteans are miserable, waiting for their Town Centers like sitting ducks. If only the workers can build shrines, it sort of remedy the situation. I still like having temples prayed to get the feeling that the Gods are worshipped and that they actually do something in return.

There is the tradeoff with Norse favor. Generating favor doesn't take up population space, it doesn't require you to spend resources, micromanage your units, or do anything you wouldn't do anyway if favor wasn't a factor. Norse favor is essentially free. The downside is that norse have little direct control over their favor. The slow trickle of favor from hersirs, is just to compensate for the absence of favor between battles, so you can research techs and stuff.
