Vikings/Strategy

The Vikings are primarily an offensive civilization with strong infantry and an effective navy.

Strengths
Their infantry have increased hit points which aids in pitched battles. Their unique unit is the Berserk, a powerful infantry unit with a high attack and hit point with the ability to regenerate lost hit points, slowly, over time. Berserks are good at destroying buildings and can combat other melee units effectively. Since they regenerate, they can survive prolonged combat without the need of Monks supporting them. However, even with this regeneration, Berserks are still vulnerable to ranged units and other units that possesses a large attack. 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.

Weaknesses
The Vikings lack many monastery technologies, have limited heavy cavalry, no fire ships but the Longboat can more than make up for this, and their Berserk aren't always reliable in terms of melee combat, true, they can slowly regenerate their extremely high hit points, but other unique units that are not weak to melee can eventually run over them.
