Gatherers are Norse Villagers. Unlike Egyptian and Greek villagers, Norse Gatherers do not build structures; instead Norse Infantry (including the Hersir) have this ability. Gatherers can be instantly converted into Ulfsarks for the full price of a new Ulfsark. However, this wastes the resources spent on the gatherer to start off, so it is always smarter to train Ulfsarks from the Longhouse or from the Town Center, unless the situation is desperate.

Tasks

Gatherers can be assigned with different tasks which also changes their name to the corresponding job they are doing.

• Farmer gathers Food from Farm
• Forager gathers Food from bushes
• Miner gathers Gold and Stone from their corresponding mines.
• Herder herds tame animals near Town Center, kills them and gathers Food
• Hunter kills and gathers Food from wild animals
• If not being assigned into any task, they will remain "Gatherers"

Gatherers cannot fish anymore and has been left solely for Fishing Ship to gather food from fish. Stone has been replaced with Favor and Gatherers has nothing to do with it which is left entirely for military units to fight enemies to generate favor.

Buildings

Gatherers can only build Farms and cannot repair buildings.
