Weren't those part of the Titans Expansion on first release?

I thought I remembered the flying healer along with Hippocrates and catapult/ballista for Atlantis at least, if not the Norse and Egyptian units

Edit: just looked it up on the wiki and those were all new. Probably why the campaign was a little easier than I remember when playing AoM 20 years ago lol

The flying healer (Caladria) was an Atlantean unit, and the catapult (Petrobolos) is Greek. Hippocrates was the new Greek unit and Onager for Atlanteans, which is more of an anti-building siege unit. It can be a bit confusing because in the original game's campaign, the "Atlantean" nation was represented by the Greek civ. And the Atlantean civ did get the Cheiroballista which is a counter-infantry unit technically classified as siege.
