Gatherer

Gatherers are important when gathering resources for your army. Unlike Egyptian and Greek villagers, Norse Gatherers do not build structures; instead Norse Infantry (including the Hersir) have this ability. Gatherers can be instantly converted into Ulfsarks for the full price of a new Ulfsark. However, this wastes the resources you spent on your gatherer to start off, so it is always smarter to train Ulfsarks from the Longhouse unless you are desperate.

Tasks
Gatherers can be assigned with different tasks which also changes their name to the corresponding job they are doing. Oddly, Gatherers cannot fish anymore and has been left solely for Fishing Ship to gather food from fish. Stone has been replaced with Favor and Gatherers has nothing to do with it which is left entirely for military units to fight enemies to generate favor.
 * Farmer gathers Food from Farm

 * Miner gathers Gold and Stone from their corresponding mines.
 * Herder herds tame animals near Town Center, kills them and gathers Food
 * Hunter kills and gathers Food from wild animals

Buildings
Gatherers can only build Farms and cannot repair buildings.
