I find myself more and more intrigued with the Vikings, their infantry is beefy and free hand cart and wheel barrow are an amazing bonus. As a Civ are they a MAA with archers kinda Civ? Or can they be played just straight archers? I assume they wouldn’t really use too much cavalry but this is just at a glance. Lastly, does their Castle age tech give their spearman line even more bonus damage against cavalry? Or just swordsman and UU?
