Vikings keep sucking in DM games. They're not fun or filling any niche, otherwise I could forgive the suckage. All their bonuses are useless. Their tech tree mostly sucks. Here is the changes
Viking infantry bonus is increased to 40% extra HP AND Champion base HP is increased by 50. 120*140% = 168 HP, which is tanky enough to actually play a real game with them. Still not as good as 240 HP Legions, but that's why we have Berserks :twisted:
The idea for Viking wars is based on Chowars in the first Age of Empires. For those who don't play that game, Chowars is basically massing dozens of Barracks and pumping out hundreds of Legions, and having them fight it out. Lots of Ballista Towers too, I figure Castles are close enough. The rule of the game: No Siege No Priest, and It is fun! Nobody makes archery ranges or stables anyway because Legions are so good. There is no real AOC equivalent. Vikings need this.
