    I just used them for the first time, and by having them in front of my Gallowglasses in the woods with my general behind I was able to destroy 2 units of Comitatsenes and Prave whatevers nearly instantly and after that two Foedarti Cavalry, without my gallowglasses becoming truly involved in the fight. My general helped a bit with one of the Foedarti though.

    Overpowered? Oh yeah. (Well unless you missile them, then they're doomed)
    Fun? Definately.

    i think these guys are more of a fun unit than a practical or balanced one -- although i love lombard berserkers. i thought i heard or read that berserker-type infantry (doped up crazies that fought naked) were employed to break enemy formations, especially shieldwalls. but then, maybe i'm just imagining things

    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.
