The Longhouse is a Classical Age building used by the Norse as a Barracks, containing basic soldiers.

Unlike the Egyptian Barracks, which becomes far less useful once the stronger Migdol Stronghold units are available, Longhouse units are still relevant even after the Hill Fort comes into play.

History Edit

Because of the harsh climate, the Norse were forced indoor much of the year. Therefore their winter combat training and weapons practice took place in large communal buildings called Longhouses. These often doubled as meeting halls, communal food halls, and craft workshops.
