Vikings/Strategy

The Vikings are an offensive civilization with strong infatry and an effective navy. Their infantry have increased hitpoints which aids in pitched battles. Their unique unit is the Beserk, a regenerating infantry unit with a large attack. Berserks are effective at destroying buildings and can combat most melee units effectively. Since they regenerate they can survive prolonged combat. The Vikings also have a strong navy, having a naval unique unit, the Longboat. Longboats fire volleys of arrows and are capable of defeating any naval unit with the exception of the Korean Turtle Ship. In addition their docks are cheaper to build and their ships are cheaper to create. The Vikings also get several economic upgrades for their villagers for free.

The main weakness of the Vikings is that they lack many monastary technologies. In addition they cannot create fire ships since the Longboat effectively replaces it.
