Matchup & timing
The Sámi Noaidi is a Commerce Age support worker recruited from a Sámi settlement or Native Embassy for 50 Food and 100 Coin. Unlike a Warrior Priest, it can gather resources, build buildings and claim Treasures; it also heals at range 12. Its 240 hit points, 30% ranged resistance and 4.0 speed make it more mobile and durable than a basic Villager, but its 35-second training time and Coin cost make it a considered expansion purchase. Use it to extend a forward economy or construct a needed structure while the main army protects the route. Keep it away from combat: its small ranged attack is mainly effective against guardians, pets and other special targets.
An economic unit with healing and utility
The Sámi Noaidi costs 50 Food and 100 Coin, trains in 35 seconds, and has 240 hit points, 4.0 speed, and 30% ranged resistance. It gathers resources, builds, claims Treasures, and has a short ranged attack alongside healing, siege, and hand attacks. Recruitment depends on a Sámi settlement or Native Embassy access. Use it as a durable utility worker and support unit, not as the army’s primary damage dealer.
