Seriously, folks, I agree completly with Emp. Conralius. These units may not be 100% accurate, but I think that all would agree that the purpose here is not to be accurate to the nth decimal point, the purpose is to have fun playing a game.

And to those self-styled purists who refuse to buy the game on "moral" grounds, you really shouldn't have bought Medieval in the first place. Actuall battle in the medieval period was very rare. Almost all generals could expect to fight one, maybe two, if that, real battles in thier lifetimes. It was simply cheaper, easier, and safer not to fight. Furthermore, when these battles did occur, they hardly resembled battles in the game. The battle engine, incredibly good and fun and what have you, as it is, only a very rough representation at best.

Therefore, if you won't buy a game because some vikings have horns or because you don't believe in a certain band of merry men that may or may not have existed, then you really have no business playing this game at all.
