The Viking UU
So, now that PTW is out, how good is the berserker? Is it the king of the middle ages? Are the Vikings screwed over without Iron?

These units only work well against human players, who may otherwise use all of their units for offensive purposes. The AI, however, tends to have atleast two units on defense in every city....this means you'll need lots of these supposedly uber invaiders (extremely expensive.)

Not that many votes, but from what I have heard so far I can't wait to get my hands on PTW and play as the Vikings/Scandinavians (guess why?).

My vote that they are the best is for Single Player.

In Multi-player, you would run a very high risk of your human oppoents attacking you during the ancient era just to wipe you out early enough to prevent you from building this unit.

A close second in SP is Ottoman Calvary.
This is also a civ in which in a multi player game you run a high risk of being attacked in the ancient era just to prevent you from building this unit.

Haven't run into them yet, but judging from the images I think they should look like the ones in this:

(Yeah, it's been going around for awhile so a lot of you have probably seen it by now... but I felt this urge to suggest it.)
