Danes
Age of Empires II civilization analysis — power units, tiers, and strategic identity
Danes favor infantry-led attacks backed by siege. Jomsvikings can fight on land and throw torches at buildings or ships, while faster Varangian Guards help keep pressure on a retreating army. Halberdiers protect the formation from cavalry, and Siege Onagers with Northmen's Fury strengthen a committed push. Hamask rewards infantry that remains in combat as it loses health, but does not make reckless losses worthwhile. Longships offer a mobile option on water; limited cavalry upgrades make chasing land raids harder.
