Strategy[ | ]
Depending on what civilization you’re fighting you may have to use these warriors often or none at all , if you are to use them then using them as a frontline or skirmishing/ambush troop is a definite strength of theirs. From small to large scale battles these warriors will be applicable in almost every situation due to their high mobility and morale (A staple of the Viking civilization). The speed specialization is well put on these squads as their movement is hampered by the armour upgrades, or the defence specialization for holding a frontline or bridge as they are better at defence then attack.
