Wikipedia article mention sources where berserkers were bare-chested or used only wolf-skins. Besides that, it also mentions they were used as shock troops both by some kings. I would think such a...

In the game, beserkers are shield-bearing defensive units, while huscarls are shield-less axe-wielding super offensive guys.

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Hi folks. Got the game recently and after 2 campaigns with distinct factions, I don't see the point of the "Estates" feature. It's simply not fun to engage, because there's no meaningful gameplay...

My 2 cents:

I think each of these games can be judged, objectively, by 2 axis:

This feels to me like the most lucid response in this thread. No surprise that it comes from a non-fanboy.

Excluding the "classics" (S1 and Med1), Shogun 2 has no competition really, as all other entries have the AI of a retardo kid (Rome1, Med2, Empire) or the design quality of a turd (Rome2) or both...

The "classics" Shogun 1 and Medieval 1 are the best in terms of AI, if only because the game was more simplistic and the AI knew how to cope with the smaller number of variables. From Rome 1 forward...
