  Loki Hersir Rush: A Guide
Hersir cost a fair amount of resources at 80 food and 40 gold, so you’ll need to have ample resources to train them, but do not attempt to train any hersir before you have clicked the button to advance to the Classical Age.
The hersir may be trained at the temple during the advance to the second age, and are also available at the longhouse once you hit Classical.
Hersir counter Myth units, but it is unlikely that you will be up against any at the point in which you begin your initial attack, but they also do fairly well against cavalry, but are too slow to keep up with the fast mounted units.

 Hersir, Viking   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The Viking Hersir was a local military commander who owed loyalty to a Jarl or local lord.
The Hersir commanded a unit of about 20 men and was normally equipped (depending on the period) with a conical helmet, a short chain mail coat, a wooden shield and a sword.
Horses may have been carried for overland routes but they always fought on foot, normally in a shield wall formation with the Hersir at the front and archers and slingers at the rear.

 Osprey Trade Editions : Viking Warrior
By the end of the 10th century, the independence of the hersir was gone, and he was now typically a regional servant of the Norwegian king.
Training is examined as are logistics and the limited range of tactics open to Viking armies, namely the skjaldborg or 'shield-wall' and the offensive svinfylka or 'swine-array'.
Sections on their appearance, equipment and the sophistication with which they manufactured their weapons also support this view, and the author is thus successful not only in producing a clear and interesting account of the Viking hersir but also in dispelling any image of these men as simply uncouth killing machines.

 The Next Generation Hersir (Type H) - Viking Swords   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The Next Generation Hersir (Type H) This style of Viking era sword is referred to as a Type H hilt in Petersen's Typology.
The pommel and upper guard of the Hersir are made in two parts, riveted togther, with a twisted sterling silver wire between the the pommel and upper guard.
The Hersir has a character of authority but is also responsive in handling: a powerful sword that well represents the feeling of well preserved, good quality originals of this type.

 Mikal the Ram: "The Hersir's Daughter"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
AT ONE TIME THERE WAS a Hersir who kept a longhouse filled with strong warriors and good treasure, and one would think he was happy with all that he had.
But three things plagued him: The weather, the health of his men, and particularly his beautiful daughter, for she had a roving eye and a winsome smile.
There in the snow beside the longhouse was the Hersir's daughter's name writ in a suspicious yellow liquid.

A.D. Hersir was a middle ranking warrior in Dark Age Scandanavia.
In the land of the Vikings, the hersir was "new wealth" as opposed to the generations of proud, great landowners who traced their ancestory back to their own pagan gods.
Over the next 100 years the hersir would find his independence slip away, however, to be used by the new Christian kings in an effort to solidify their own power in an ever-changing land.

Hersir is a five gaited bay gelding whom we first met in Iceland on holiday in 1996 and imported in 1998.
Hersir is extremely forward-going (or 'willing' as the Icelanders say) and has exceptional flying pace.
Hersir was judged in Iceland and attained a conformation score of 7.73 and a ridden score of 8.24, giving an overall score of 7.98.

 The Story of the Ere-Dwellers: Chapter 1
Ketil Flatneb was hight a famous hersir (1) in Norway; he was the son of Biorn Rough-foot, the son of Grim, a hersir of Sogn.
In time the hersir became not only ruler of men, but a lord of the territory within which his herr had its habitation, which territory was called "herath", and only in the capacity of such a territorial lord the historical hersir is known.
After Hairfair's day the hersir was reduced to a royal liegeman, and between him and the king there was set up a new dignity, that of the earl, to whom jurisdiction over so and so many hersar was assigned.

This is a risky strategy, however, because the TA rush has a lot of power behind it (barracks never idle, so you keep flooding and pop faster than other rushes) but is easily beaten.
Then, when you hit classical, set longboats on repeat, set villagers on repeat, set hersir on repeat, and continuously build houses — this is a good start for beginners.
I would build hersir in this situation, with all of the extra food you have from fishing, and you will summon quickly, so it makes your rush very powerful.

Hersirs generate free favor at a rate of 0.01 per second just for existing.
That free hersir favor doesn't go into the pool was confirmed by a test where I had a giant stack of heroic hersirs, waited until I had 50-something favor, then killed all but one and sent him to kill vills.
So while fighting with longboats, you want to have hersirs raiding at the same time, or every 5 or 10 seconds have a hersir take a swipe at a deer, obelisk, or something...

When Norwegian Vikings first raided the European coast in the 8th century AD, their leaders were from the middle ranks of warriors known as hersirs.
At this time the hersir was typically an independent landowner or local chieftain with equipment superior to that of his followers.
By the end of the 10th century, the independence of the hersir was gone, and he was now a regional servant of the Norwegian king.

 Strategy Loki Norse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
(You fight with the hersir because they have a chance of summoning myth units.) You don't have to worry about getting longhouses up quickly because you are stopping your enemy from putting up his own structures.
You can use your hersir and throwing axemen to build watch towers to protect your buildings when you need to retreat, and stop enemy villagers from gathering near you.
At this point, hersirs become a lot less involved in your army if there are any left at all.

 A guide to Odin
If he is Loki, then its possible he may not only try to attack early, but rush you with Hersir while you have no Longhouses yet.
They are capable at taking down myth units, but their slow speed and necessity to attack in melee, combined with the fact that they aren't too durable makes them rather dismal in their role as MU counters.
Hersir take bonus damage from Axemen and Throwing Axemen (and Hypaspists - but they won't appear until the Heroic age) so be careful of your Hersir around these units.

Another formation was also used the 'Svinfylking' which was a variation to the shield wall but with several wedge like formations pointing towards the enemy creating a zig zag pattern.

 Le Hericy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The Old French word herisse is used interchangeably with the form "herisser." Herisser probably derives from the Viking title "Hersir." A Hersir was a middle ranking warrior in Dark Age Scandinavia, typically commanding 20 to 30 warriors.
Hersirs represented the "new wealth" in the 10th and 11th centuries and the title Hersir eventually became synonymous with "Property Holder." Consider the bristling of spears protruding from a group of Viking warriors commanded by a Hersir and arranged in a shield wall as below.
Evidence suggests that the family Le Hericy may descend from a Scandinavian prince named Gerhard, who was a companion of Rollo.
