Are the archers going to have an armour-piercing melee attack? (On account of the axes.)

Exact unit stats are still being discussed but we have a fairly good idea of what we want in terms of behavior of the units, with the exception for a few details, such as this one. The archers will probably be able to do some harm vs armored opponents when sent charging into their rear, due to their lightness and mobility, but they will for instance not be what militia sergeants in M:TW were. So their strength might end up lying in the charge stats rather than in armor piercing ability.

Wow, this mod is really coming into it's own. Great job, I love all of it. You've done a very interesting thing with the banners, they look great.

Age of Vikings and Fanatics: Total War has officially joined the ranks of EB and Napoleanic: TW as one of the most anticipated mods... of course it doesn't mean much to anyone, but to hell with you!!!...

Looks good!

(but what happened to th spearpoints of those javelins?)

[Viking]

Those banners were superb, and the units looks splendid. Great work.

Looks lovely. The detail on shields and banners is top-class; I also really like the way the units look credible, they actually look more warriors who are used to fighting, more gritty than most other mods.

[GoreBag]

Everything looks great, guys, but the spearheads on the javelins confuse me too.

[Archbaker]

The bersekers can't bite their shields when they don't have any. :)

Seriously, this is looking so very great. Colour me impressed.
