Now lets say that Viking2 and Viking5 are redundant, because the first has a sword which is unusual for that type and the last is just not right for the period, Huscarle Bodyguards. That leaves us with:

Viking1 = Viking Carls
Viking3 = Drangar
Viking4 = Tegnar
That sounds fine, although you could keep the Huscarles and simply rename them as Hirdmen (many bishops, kings and even knights had a personal hird even until the 13th century) if you'd like. For balance reasons I leave that up to you, but I agree that Viking2 should be left out.

Good work on the mod, I really like your idea of having a milita-cavarly related to the Town Watch-series of buildings
