It’s more than obvious that there is a preference by the developers for the Egyptians and the Atlanteans since in each update only they receive improvements and the other receive a decrease in their statistics.
An example of what I’m saying: The Fimbulwinter a power of the last age is completely countered by the Ceasefire (classical age). But the developers would rather focus on further improving the Atlanteans and Egyptians and further diminishing the Norse.
Enough of just improving the Egyptians and the Atlanteans!
True, that is completely broken, Fimbul duration also got nerfed, imo Ragnarok is extremly bad vs ballistics archers and counter units, so Fimbul is the only choice mostly. Ragna Heros are extremly slow and have bad attacks, when Loki had the free Zerk bonus he had even an better unit then the Ragna heros lol. But it was changed and for good. Loki is pretty much the killer to Thor. I think Odin/Thor need some defensive bonus vs extrem rush like Loki/Kronos. The Norse are good in mid game, ok in early late game the ballista are really strong. The tower upgrade could be cheaper for thor / odin, faster for Freyr but i think Freyr is ok in defense. In mid / late game Raiders and Huskarls lose to massed ballistics Tox / archers but thats probably because i play to defensive lol just talking here
First: this is not a bug. You should have posted this in the Discussion forum, not Report a Bug.
Second: the Norse are receiving nerfs because in the last patch, across all Elos, they make up 3 of the top 4 gods by winrate. Maybe the nerfs weren’t well-targeted, but it’s obvious that they did need nerfs, and it’s not just a philosophical desire to make Eggy and Atty stronger.
