"Counter cavalry. Infantry only good against cavalry."
In-game description

The Hirdman is a Norse Classical Age infantry unit in Age of Mythology: Retold that can be trained at the Longhouse. It serves as a counter-cavalry unit. Like other Norse foot soldiers, Hirdmen can build and repair buildings.

The release version of the Hirdman is conceptually similar to the Bondi, which was cut twice, once for the base game, and once for Tale of the Dragon.

History

"The Norse Hirdman wields a spear and is effective against cavalry. A Viking Age Scandinavian chieftain's power was centered on his personal warband, or hird. This body of retainers served as a household guard in the direct employ of the chieftain, who was responsible with providing them with the wealth, status, and leadership that earned their loyalty. In later centuries, the hirdmen constituted a court of magnates to whom a king delegated power, property, and administrative responsibilities."

Trivia

  • Hirdmen were the nucleus of informal personal companion bodyguards of a lord or ruler. They were essentially Elite Huskarls, and are mentioned many times in Norse Sagas. As per law codices by the time of the reign of Haakon IV, they had become more of a Men-at-Arms, thus becoming formalised as the court household.
  • The texture map for the Hirdman, is located in the Multiplayer Alpha textures.bar file, under "Infantry N Hirdman Map".
  • "Hirdman" means the same as "Huskarl".
