Hamask is a [[Norse]] myth technology that is available to worshipers of [[Odin]] and can be researched at the [[Town Center]] and [[Longhouse]]. Once researched, it makes [[Berserk]]s move faster and deal more damage when missing hit points.
Meteoric Iron Armor is a [[Norse]] myth technology that is available to worshipers of [[Thor]] and can be researched at the [[Dwarven Armory]] once [[Iron Armor]] is researched. It makes human soldiers and [[Heroes|heroes]] less vulnerable to hack attacks and ships less vulnerable to both hack and crush attacks.

Egyptians valued meteoric iron more than gold; King Tutankhamen was buried with several gold daggers but only one of iron.
