4) For countering Chariots, there are only 2 choices: huskarls or RC. Either can be effective, but going heavy on RC allows Camels to be more effective. Camels don't trade very well vs Huskarls, so if you have Hill Forts, Huskarls are probably the better choice. Ulfsark + Huskarl is a good army comp. vs Migdol army. If axemen come in, you need RC.

I wouldn't bother with Jarls because they are very expensive, slow, and cannot build stuff.

Although camels win 1v1 vs huskarls, I just realized that husks are 2 pop. I didn't know this. Camels are 3 pop so huskarls are overall definitely better. One should definitely spam huskarls vs eggy since their only counter unit is the axeman. Then go Tyr for bravery, as you often don't want to go rag vs eggy anyway. Hmm, sounds good but building at least 2 hill forts and getting to spam husks vs eggy might be a problem.

It's true at max pop, you don't really have a chance of beating the Eggy army in heroic/ mythic. They can also AQ mercs and have a free Osiris which makes their army much larger than yours. The game is almost always over when it's even and Eggy is in this position. The goal is actually to outspam the Eggy with your weaker army and overwhelm them in 'early' late game. The whole design of Eggy is to start off the weakest but slowly creep into the game and eventually reach the highest power. An analogy of this is to look at the converse, the Atlanteans. They have the weakest army (Turmas are a glass cannon, boats are like straw). Yet, Atty wins by overwhelming, by flooding units quickly and early on and choosing fights where you outnumber your opponent. If you, wisely, delay fights and wait until max pop you will almost always win the Atty army. So vs Eggy, do the opposite. Play more like Atty by flooding and overwhelming Eggy before they can get max pop army from a single migdol. And even if they do get max pop or make another migdol, their economy is still comparatively weak until much later in the game. Take advantage of your power spikes. This game is all rock, paper, scissors and timing.

But the problem with this is that Eggy units actually train faster than Norse units. How am I supposed to outspam him? Once he's got 1 migdol and possibly 1 racks, he can spam as well as I can from 4 longhouses. He can also build priests (which he should need vs norse) so he can keep up the spam even with early heroic.

OFC, this is while ignoring the existence of mercs. With mercs, eggy can outspam Norse no matter what. But Imma try getting hill forts very early and spamming huskarls. Hopefully it amount to something. Maybe RC or ulfs are needed in the mix here.
