![]() ![]() Lastly, they lack any viable counters to enemy siege without Redemption, Bombard Cannon, or viable cavalry. Their Monks are below average without technologies like Redemption, Sanctity, and Theocracy. A similar story applies for their Cavalry Archers, without Thumb Ring or the Heavy Cavalry Archer upgrade as well as the previous cavalry deficits. Viking cavalry are very weak, lacking upgrades across the board ( Plate Barding Armor, Husbandry, and Bloodlines as well as all final tier upgrades), it is hard to justify their use outside of early-game raiding. The absence of even Fire Galleys should be noted, though, as it can be a disadvantage early on when Longboats are not yet available. With all of these strengths come a few notable weaknesses. Viking siege weapons and defensive structures are both somewhat solid, with the Siege Ram in particular mixing well with the Vikings infantry. They also have decent foot archers, as even though they lack Thumb Ring, they have Bogsveigar in the Imperial Age and are still decent during the Castle Age thanks to their economy. Their economy is arguably the best in the game from the mid- Feudal Age to the early- Imperial Age due to free Wheelbarrow and Hand Cart, which give a 5 Villager advantage, a boost to Villager collection, and saves a sizable amount of resources (475 food, 250 wood). Their Castle unique unit, the Berserk, is a valuable all-purpose footsoldier that heals itself and has decent stats all around. Despite lacking the Halberdier upgrade, their infantry are also remarkable, with all upgrades, additional HP, and an excellent unique technology that improves their performance when engaging cavalry units and while raiding. Their ships are indeed excellent, thanks to a discount which offsets the lack of Shipwright and gives them the ability to outproduce every other civilization, and the excellent Longboat.
