    Default Sami Axemen

    This unhistorical unit bugs me, they don't look anything like Sami people and Sami never participated in any wars

    Reference to this post I found in the Ethos inspired me to make this thread

    I will bring this up with the Sámediggi and the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.

    I know, right? And the depiction of Sherwood Archers is also completely unhistorical and offensive. I think someone's in for a lawsuit.

    I suppose it needs to be a mixture of some historical accuracy combined with game play requirements BUT some of the units could be better and the sherwood foresters do look completly naff

    I suppose they put it in as a fun unit but should have gone into the british campaign and they should have kept the main campaign for more serious units, just looks out of place a not a little silly
