    Great preview people, but we need to see some norwegian units soon! ASAP!!!

    The word 'Norman' is the same as the word; 'Nordman'(Norwegian aka. a person from North/Norway/Norrųn).

    Story of the Norwegians:

    Nordman ---moves to mainland europe, calls themself Norman.

    Normans invade the saxons, with the help of the norwegians 1066.

    Anglo conqures the world as a colonial power 100's of years later. In other words, watchout for the norwegians.
    Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga
    I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.
    - The pranks played on the knight Jean de Joinville, 1249, 7th crusade.

    Pent. Nice unit.

    And the Vikings who moved to Rouen were mostly Danes, though some; including Rollo was Norwegians (if one can talk of Norwegians prior to the early 11th century).

    By the way, though my avatar might indicate so, I am not a citizen of Germany, though my ancestry have a branch in this great nation.

    Sorry to necro this, but why are the Normans throwing javelins? It's pretty clear in the Bayeux tapestry, accounts of the First Crusade, and Orderic Vitalis' accounts of battles that they rarely throw their lances, and are also capable of couching them.

    Edit: Also it's rather well researched that by the late 11th century Western European cavalry were riding around on Spanish or Arabic horses and not the much weaker and smaller Germanic varieties (though the ones pictured are representative of that). By 1080 there is almost no difference between the Norman and Frankish cavalry, except for the ballsiness of the person on the horse.
