Age up text

Forseti is a Classical Age Norse minor god in Age of Mythology. He is available to worshipers of Thor and Loki.

Attributes

God Power

Name	Description
Healing Spring	Creates a spring that heals all nearby units. It can be captured by any player who surrounds it with the most number of units.

Technology

Name	Description
Dwarven Breastplate	Berserk's and Hirdman's hack vulnerability reduced by 20%.
Cave Troll	Upgrades the Troll to Cave Troll. Its Boulder Toss ability does +100% attack and has +1.5 radius of effect.
Hall of Thanes	Infantry have +10% speed, heroes have +5% speed.

Myth Unit

Name	Description
Troll	Slow but powerful ranged unit that can throw a large boulder to damage and knock back enemy human units.

Gameplay

Forseti's technologies benefit infantry and heroes. Berserks and Hirdmen enjoy a reduction in their hack vulnerability, allowing them to last longer in combat against cavalry and other infantry. Hall of Thanes provides a speed boost to all infantry units and the two Norse heroes - the Hersir and Godi. This makes it possible to mass them and use them in raids.

His god power, the Healing Spring, is very useful, as it provides a healing source for wounded units. Whether or not a Thor player will choose the Healing Spring over Freyja's Valkyries is a matter of preference, though players should keep in mind that the Healing Spring is indestructible, and also heals multiple units over time, at the cost of mobility and the risk of falling into the enemies' side. Similarly, it can also be converted to an ally's side, but it will still be able to heal allied units on the same team regardless.

Forseti's myth unit, the Troll, throws giant rocks to deal damage to enemy human soldiers and knock them back, making it useful for protecting infantry from ranged soldiers and counter-infantry units, which serve as their main counters. The Cave Troll upgrade makes Trolls do even more damage with their Boulder Toss ability.

Thor players who follow Forseti and then Skadi in the Heroic Age will have faster and stronger Throwing Axemen. Likewise, Bragi, who is available to both Thor and Loki, grants improvements to both Berserks and Hirdmen, strengthening them even further. Finally, Tyr can be picked for the Mythic Age to provide even further improvements to Berserks and Huskarls.

Mythology

"The son of Baldr, he was the god of justice and a force for peace. He sat in his hall, dispensing justice and resolving the disputes of both gods and men. The legends say that he never failed to bring disputing parties to agreement or pass judgment that all agreed was fair."

 ==Gameplay==
+Forseti's technologies benefit infantry and heroes. Berserks and Hirdmen enjoy a reduction in their hack vulnerability, allowing them to last longer in combat against cavalry and other infantry. Hall of Thanes provides a speed boost to all infantry units and the two Norse heroes - the Hersir and Godi. This makes it possible to mass them and use them in raids.
-Thoth's bonuses are mostly offensive, though one is economic. First, his Tusks of Apedemak technology makes War Elephants deal more damage, cost less, and take up less population space, allowing them to be massed more easily. This pairs especially well with Valley of the Kings, which allows empowered Migdol Strongholds to spawn double any units being trained. These improvements allow the player to create a huge army of War Elephants that can destroy anything that gets in their way.
+His god power, the Healing Spring, is very useful, as it provides a healing source for wounded units. Whether or not a Thor player will choose the Healing Spring over Freyja's Valkyries is a matter of preference, though players should keep in mind that the Healing Spring is indestructible, and also heals multiple units over time, at the cost of mobility and the risk of falling into the enemies' side. Similarly, it can also be converted to an ally's side, but it will still be able to heal allied units on the same team regardless.
-Thoth's myth unit, the Phoenix, is highly powerful against both units and buildings. If slain, it can be reborn, provided enemies do not attack and destroy the egg.
+Forseti's myth unit, the Troll, throws giant rocks to deal damage to enemy human soldiers and knock them back, making it useful for protecting infantry from ranged soldiers and counter-infantry units, which serve as their main counters. The Cave Troll upgrade makes Trolls do even more damage with their Boulder Toss ability.
-Economically, Thoth improves the gather rate of all resources, offsetting the initial Egyptian gathering penalty. This gives the player the option of training fewer Laborers and more military units at maximum population.
+Thor players who follow Forseti and then Skadi in the Heroic Age will have faster and stronger Throwing Axemen. Likewise, Bragi, who is available to both Thor and Loki, grants improvements to both Berserks and Hirdmen, strengthening them even further. Finally, Tyr can be picked for the Mythic Age to provide even further improvements to Berserks and Huskarls.
-Followers of Set who pick Sekhmet for the Heroic Age and Thoth for the Mythic Age will be able to amass large armies of strengthened Chariot Archers. Likewise, two of the Egyptian Classical Age minor gods, Bast (accessible to Isis) and Ptah (accessible to Set), have economic bonuses which synergize nicely with Thoth's economic improvement.

-{{Quote|A patron of learning and invention, Thoth was the chief god of the city of Khmun and a divine scribe. He served as a loyal advocate and supporter of Osiris, defending him against charges by Set, helping Isis resurrect him as lord of the underworld, helping to keep Horus hidden from Set until the son reached adulthood, and then helping Horus regain his inheritance. Thoth then assisted Osiris by recording the past deeds of all who sought to enter the Underworld. He read the scales when the hearts of those seeking entrance were weighed versus the feather of truth. Thoth grew in importance as people sought his help in proving their innocence at judgment time. The priests of Thoth enhanced his reputation as a magician and claimed he had access to spells that gave him domination over the natural world and the gods themselves. Thoth is usually depicted with the head of an ibis or baboon.
-"Thereupon shall come Thoth, who is equipped with words of power in great abundance, and shall untie the fetters, even the fetters of the god Set which are over my mouth."
