Units

From Sons of Valhalla Official Wiki
The unit commands menu

Units can be given orders to hold position, attack, follow or shield wall. If ordered to attack the units will run towards enemies until they capture a new capture point or die. A Shield Wall can only be ordered if there is at least one Shielded swordsman.png Shielded Swordsman among the units. Commands can be given either to all units or only to certain types. Newly trained units will automatically run to the last captured gate.

City units

City units are trained at city buildings. They can have their health, attack speed and range upgraded and most of them can also be upgraded to a more powerful version via the Advanced Technology upgrade at the building they were recruited from.

Bishop Elmold Bear

In the Bishop Elmold land there is a captive bear. You can free it by attacking the chains. The bear will charge throughout the map, attacking any enemies or buildings. Unfortunately this also means it will destroy fortifications you can use if you free it before capturing the first outpost.
