Viking

Vikings are units found in the vikings branch.

Appearance
The Viking is a peasant model armed with a stereotypical viking helmet, which, unlike with the Headbutters, are just cosmetics and are not used as weapons.

They are armed with a circular shield and a axe.

In battle
In battle, vikings lash out with their axes while protecting themselves with their shields, making them effective counters against archers, however turn out to be poor counters against spearthrowers, as their spears will weighten down their shields and make them unable to move, or attack.

Strategy
As stated previously, vikings are excellent counters against archers, while still being able to be deployed against other melee units. They are able to defeat most cheaper units easily, especially in large numbers.
