Viking Units overpowered?

[Sensei Warrior]

So we disagree, which is not a problem. Funnily enough I usually found myself at the .com arguing for greater difficulty within MTW and not what appears to be less, though I do feel that the Huscarles make it too easy for me as the player to conquer the map. This isn't too much of a problem as I don't overuse them anyway, but also when facing them, I despise using those sort of tactics mentioned previously against them.

I feel that conquering the game through the overuse of Huscarles is boring as well. I suppose if I started a VI game w/ the Saxons or Mercians I would definately entertain limiting their use. I know I use Huscarles sparingly in the Early game when playing the Danish or after I've conquered Norway, Sweden, or Denmark. A little self-restraint can go a long way.

I've conquered the whole map as the welsh several times on expert. Each time I've found that archers were of vital importance when shooting the huscarles to pieces combined with royal bodyguards and mounted nobles (one faction doesn't get mounted nobles at all, and I can't remember if it's the Irish or the Welsh?) to run them down.

I am almost positive the Welsh get Mounted Nobles, so by default the Irish don't have Mounted Nobles, although I could be wrong.

I agree with Mithrandir. I definately made an error in judgement with my initial post, thus the apology to Mithrandir. I could have made my point very easily without the historical references, and should have.

I never mind when the moderators call me to task, they seem to be very fair when enforcing the rules and often give a little leeway to boot.
