Berserkers appreciation thread

[Myth]

Too many times I hear about spartan spam in MP or about annoying legionaires in SP. There exists a universal answer to those, and i'm actualyl sorry I never got to play a serious Germania campaign due to the bad infrastructure and boring building options.



I will give them a try in Rome II, though I suspect the Berserkers there will be a tad more... modest of a unit.

[I of the Storm]

Yeah, those guys were pretty mean.

It's been a veery long time now, but iirc they were strictly limited in (or in some cases even banned from) MP matches, due to being too much chuck norris

[AntiDamascus]

Never liked that anime.... oh wait. Total War. Never really got into MP. Never thought they were that big an issue but MP has a way of doing that.

[Sp4]

How do people ban them from MP matches? ^^

And yeah, they're less amazing in R2.

[ReluctantSamurai]

Very impressive. But.....

........being a "horse archer wannabee" when playing a barbarian faction, I use those "other" Roman killers.....Chosen Archers

When fronted by Spear Warbands, and Gothic Cavalry roaming the flanks, there really isn't much for my spears or axmen to do before melee ensues, because at least half the enemy are already dead

Yes, I know, this is a berserker appreciation thread and I just them......so sue me

[Myth]

Yes but... If you're playing MP and some kid comes wtih 20 spartan units, won't it be fun to couner with 20 units of 'zerkers

RS why do you disfavor them? (is that even a word)
