Popularity of Berserkers

[GrandInquisitor]

hmm...i'd say it's interesting. the one thing about berserkers in general that i envisioned was that they were a kamikaze unit. i figured they should have a low all around defense, but extremely high attack. so they either do their job and kill lots of people, or they die...and maybe both. but that's just me :P

hehe, belive it or not, sometimes they dont go berserk...then they get gubbed by everything, i mean they only have attack 4 and defence 9, so when they dont go mad then they die easily, and arrows really finish these guys off.

Whether they go mad or not, they make good training boards for my horse archers.

i think the celtic hounds of coulan are better except for the fact that they never "calm down" and are crappy for town assualts since the moment they finish on the walls they run off and kill themselves in the town center... i think lombards clam down... i seen them do it once

They are too overpowered IMO, they can take on elephants which i think is a bit stupid.

[GrimSta]

ok, general consensus is them being overpowerd. What do you all think of the new stats and unit sizes i made??

Nice thing about these berserker types is that when you're assaulting a city and they are defending, you can lure them out. Just bring a unit close to the palisade/wall near the berserk guys, and they'll go nuts and rush out through the gates after your unit. The rest of the defenders will stay inside so you can focus your whole army to destroy the berserkers quickly.

They get nuts in a crowd. I ambushed an army of Lombards in the
woods, and charged with cavalry... I still won, but got chopped up.

They are a bit overpowered if they can keep chasing horse archers
around the map and not tire.

I figure thats Hard setting for you....
