			The Items. From Monster Arcanum you have all kind of items through Quest System that has been increased throughout all three games, meaning fi you have time you technically have almost infinite amount of overpowered unique items to give to your heroes. It goes without much to say, but fimir warriors and fimir nobles are to this day, one of best units/heroes in the game. And fimir nobles cannot really die easily, and all of them can heal. You can experiment by either concentrate on increasing the healing ability, or give them an item that just makes them even tankier but oh well, there isn't easy way to mess up playing Norscans

	From experience, it is rare that you will be low on money even in income, as norsca can make 400 gold + 240 gold from major/minor settlements which isn't a lot compared to Empire and Bretonnia but is decent numbers.

	In Immortal Empires, the much-reviled settlement system has been abolished, with the faction receiving many other sweeping changes - highlights include dedicating yourself to a specific god providing actual Chaos units, and a buff to your economy. Norsca's ports are now hilariously lucrative, giving as much income per turn as bigger ports like Lothern + Marienburg. And Norsca is full of seaside settlements. Now you can pillage the entire world without worrying about money.

	*'''Dark Elves''': A match-up with quite simple rules. If you can break into their main crossbow line you can win. If you can't you will lose. The Dark Elves can match you blow for blow at the Monster Game and Kharybdi see your mammoths and fimir as lunch while the Dark Elves have enough flaming damage to make trolls a risky play at best. Skinwolves are exceedingly vulnerable to massed missile fire and the Dark Elves' ability to take away control over your units with Witch Elves will frustrate any effort to pull out of bad match-ups. The front line match up is weird as the Dark Elves swing between fairly meh basic infantry to hyper-elite killing machines with very little in between. That being said, murderous prowess means that your infantry's preferred playstyle can backfire hard if you don't plan ahead. Your own ranged infantry will almost certainly be annihilated in short order, so you have to make them count before they're all dead.		*'''Dark Elves''': A match-up with quite simple rules.

	*'''Feral Mammoth:''' Let's talk about mammoths. Mammoths are amazing. Mammoths are the single best thing the Norscan army has, and one of the best monsters in the game. As if the huge health bar and great stats aren't enough, the mammoths unique attack animations allow it to sweep through huge swaths of infantry at once; combined with its terror and can route most infantry units in just a few hits. The feral variety is the cheapest but runs the risk of rampaging, which can be a nightmare for such a slow and valuable unit. ~~high~~ doomstack potential ~~also~~.		*'''Feral Mammoth:''' Let's talk about mammoths.

	**'''Soulcrusher (ROR):''' A mammoth with the ability to temporarily gain 44% physical resistance, in case you need it to hold the line against the entire godsdamned Empire all at once.

	*'''War Mammoth (Warshrine):''' A mammoth that provides leadership buffs to allies around it, at the cost of shooting ability and speed. Not bad in multiplayer, but in the campaign you should try to phase out your infantry once you get mammoths in favor of even more mammoths. A bit of a niche pick, but at the end of the day it's still a mammoth; never the worst choice.		*'''War Mammoth (Warshrine):''' A mammoth that provides leadership buffs to allies around it, at the cost of shooting ability and speed.

	*'''Norscan Ice Wolves:''' Bigger badder ice wolves with Frostbite to slow down running targets and let your slower monsters smash them. Their reduced unit size also, ironically enough, massively improves their ~~survivablility~~ because individual models will soak up more damage per head ~~(or paw)~~ and increase the damage one model can put out before it goes down. Granted, they still will go down in prolonged fights, but it's still something to keep in mind. ~~surprising~~ good light cav equivalent. good vs anything without armor due to high weapon strength.		*'''Norscan Ice Wolves:''' Bigger badder ice wolves with Frostbite to slow down running targets and let your slower monsters smash them.
