The Longhouse is a Norse building in Age of Mythology. All Classical Age Norse military units can be trained at this building (note that the Hersir, the Norse hero, can also be trained at the Temple) and where technologies that improve them are researched.
Unlike with the Egyptian Barracks, the Longhouse remains useful into the Heroic Age, when Hill Fort units become available.

History Edit
Because of the harsh climate, the Norse were forced indoors much of the year. Therefore their winter combat training and weapons practice took place in large communal buildings called Longhouses. These often doubled as meeting halls, communal food halls, and craft workshops.
Changelog Edit
Age of Mythology Edit
- Originally, Longhouses cost 130 wood. With patch 1.02, this was changed to 110 wood.
Trivia Edit
- Whilst the Longhouse is an accurate name, a better, and more accurate name would be a Mead Hall.
- The Longhouse originally only trained infantry, such as the Ulfsark, Hirdman, and Bondi, as the Throwing Axeman was originally an archer unit, not an infantry unit.
