up to 400 new shields (sometimes there is no shield twice in one unit)
changed faction colors and emblems
here you can see some units in the jutes roster
New Units
2 new Units for all 3 Factions
Nordic Hunters - like nordic bows but they use 2-handed spear in melee so they may be a threat when charging into cav
Nordic Valkyries - very fast mid tier skirmisher cav with encourage
3 unique units for Danes
Randver Marauders - very strong melee ship
Axe Skirmishers - AXE THROWING skirmishers with better accuracy but lower rate of fire then precursor axes and decent in melee combat
Axe Marauders - Axe Skirmishers on a ship with ammo replenish like bow ships
2 unique units for Geats
Gauti Horse Raiders - mid tier Spear cav
Odin Spears - Aggressive Late Game Spear Unit
2 unique units for Jutes
Nordic Reavers - even stronger viking raiders
Axe Warriors - better Warhound unit
Balancing some of the new units are strong but should not be overpowered and as long as i play attila i will update them after patches
i buffed Norse Berserkers not to be useless anymore (they were in my opinion), now they are pretty good shock but still die fast
vandal berserkers buffed too to still be better

Great, great work here. This solved a lot of the issues I have had with the vikings. Also they look totally badass now with the beards and the skins. Very good job. Also the berserkers finally have bear serks. I'd download this mod just for that.
One issue that bugs me remains though. Removal of the buckler shields a few of the viking units use. Especially those of the hirdmenn and the viking raiders. Hirdmenn are a pretty essential defensive unit with good shield block chance, and yet they use those weird small shields. The round shields would look much better on them.
I'd do it myself, but I have no idea how.
Also the new units are both flavorful and greatly done, but could you give the valkyries parthian shot? For the price I dont find them worthwhile as missile cav without parthian shot is such a hassle to use well.

in attila large shield= low defence better armour and small shield= good defence but less armour but if you want it you get it
