Wow, Berserkers are 'tuff

Tougher then Spartans, and Roman Leigonairs. I made a custom game. I got me an entire army of Beserkers all the way upgraded. I made one game where I was faceing an entire army of the Pretorian(I dunno if that is right) Leigionairs(the best I think). I just made them go Beserk and let them off. They tore right through them. Nothing could stop them. A lot of them got killed(beserkers that is) but one could at least take out 14 by itself. And since the whole army was in a big group, we easily won the battle, and killed everyone of them. Next up I tried beating the Spartans. This had much more casualties on my side, but I still won. I thought the spears would stop me, but the shear weight and number(not really that high, but for beserkers, 24 is high, this was more then 300) pushed right through the spears and tore them up. Since I didn't have to control, I just watched in awe and laughed while Spartans(which I still love second most now) were thrown like 5 feet away. The only thing I hate when fighting the romans is the spears the infantry throws before chargeing. They suck. Why? Because in the middle of the slaughter, they just decide to throw the spears, which take out half the Beserkers. Still, if one or two of the beserkers make it to the Archers/other throwing people, it is all over for them(Not real infantry, archers and stuff).

Well, the downside is you can easily get flanked because they just go berserk... and you fully upgraded the berserkers but did you fully upgrade the Spartans? By the way, Urbans are the Romans' best infantry unit.

I fully upgraded both of them. I didn't know that Urbans were the best. The Pretorians are more expensive, and that is how I go by picking troops...

Against a unit of Cretan archers, or equal archer units, berserkers don`t stand a chance. :book:

Try beserkers versus a parthian horse archer unit, beserkers dont stand a chance lol (then again, not many other units do. Although Romans armour is quite good so if you absorbed arrows then when enemy is out of arrows you could attack and they'd just be one rubbish cav unit) :D

Not the Parthian Persian Cavalry version of horse archers.

A zerker unit can't win an urban cohort face to face. Zerkers strength is in numbers, so mass them up with your other infantry and the let the fiest begin. Otherwise, they aren't that good.
