Bersekers and temples

I figured this question isn't worthy of a thread, so I'll post it here:

Taken from the EB.com main page. What's the name of this unit? I can't find them in the game, and I've searched every file (and all the unit cards).

This unit was called Wodanawulfoz. (=Wolves of Wodan)
Except for the mullets and the teeths at the waist it is a very historical unit (just look at Trajan's column or if you want more information read the book from Speidel), although it is rather unlikely that Wodan was so important at the beginning of the EB-timeframe. Tiwaz or Fraujon were the more important germanic gods.
After reading the comments of blitz and Handsome Viking i really hope that a unit like this (preferable with a wolf cloak) will be implemented in 1.1
The hairstyle is unique and the trousers have a nice look of fur.
The new unit should be called Wargoz and should be equipped with sword, shield and throwing spear.
Those wolf-warriors lived outside the germanic community and were sworn brothers in arms, who lived only for war and ended their kinship with their tribes. Definately a highly capable and elite germanic unit.
For my part i would prefer them as very rare mercenaries.
A unique and very rare unit, but i really hope for EB 1.1.

Talking about germanic units, we should also hope to see the Bear-Warriors too, which will perhaps make up a worthy opponent for the famed naked celts on drugs.

So are they in 1.0? If not, where I can I get them? I might like to implement them.

Thanks for the info btw.

Actually it is quite old incarnation of wodanawulfoz, from 0.7.4 or something like that. There was a new version made for 0.8.0 IIRC but I guess it was taken out for 1.0, only to be included later as another new version: the Wargaz unit Safe told us about.

I'm not sure about the dates and inclusions, only that it's a really old version of the unit in question.

But it's awesome! I don't care about accuracy when faced by awesomeness of this scale.

Anyways...anyone know where I could grab the skin & models?

I've kept back copies of all EB versions from 0.74 onwards, I'll get them for you tommorow.

I agreed with what you said in your post, but I wanted to address this portion of it. I have no problem with berserker's, but as I have said before they would have been to rare to really field a unit of them. I would like to see something along the line of bear warriors as being a tough elite, but I would hate to see them on the level of the EB version of the Gaesatae. I consider the Gaesatae in EB to be fantasy/fictional based on their historical performance.
