noticed several fundamental facts about the role of the varangians and their relationship with the greek empire; that they served as the emperor's personal bodyguard, that they fought in very small units, that they were mercenaries who originated from from or arrived from Kievan russia and that they were noted for a frightening appearance, lack of care over injury and fought recklessly. Based on these facts, they could be accurately implimented in the following was, but maybe not all of them; as a bodyguard unit of the emperor, being slightly better then other bodyguard units, as mercenaries available in thrace on the condition that you maintain good relations with Kiev as an infantry unit they would probably deserve double hit points like the naked fanatics in EB did, as a contemporary "barbarian" force they should get the same treatment. Now, I know the beserker trait seems to have been coded out but they should still frighten nearby infantry.
Considering the reputation this mod has earned for quality and the doubtless polish the final product will have I just wanna put this out there...
