Wimpy Vikings and Rough Justice

[naut]

I've found the Vikings can stagnate quite badly if they get off to a poor start.

QFT. That happens often. The best way to counter it is change their starting money so they have a better chance. Although this means if you play as them you get more money. But to counter that copy the startpos file... etc. I wont go there it gets dull, . But your right they often don't do anything if they don't start-up well.

The other thing is that they have a tendency to attack the rebel provinces more often than actual faction provinces.

I'm not sure if its a bug or something, but if the vikings invade you with just their king or a prince(which they sometimes do) you should autocalc the battle. For some reason the game will usually give you the win even if your army is just a unit of spearman. Plus you'll be able to ransom the king back to them.

Really? Wow, I've never noticed that before.
