Agreed. It's not that important anyway and this way they look more recongizable. :go:

[timurlenk]

however - i really like this forum with its minor "problems" and its huge knowledge of history...

axes will be enough to recognise vikings at once!

[Vytis]

Unless it's a bunch of woodcutters... :)

LOL what a brainfart that supposed Viking are.

A) it looks like some Vinlandsaga dude, who settled in Texas, and got horns from the Texas Longhorn Cows.

B) the horns would be too long and slim, the typically cows in Scandinavia had shorter more winding shape, with thicker base, also used as drinking horns. :cheers:

C) it's a little puny buckler? They used to wear the large torso sized rounshields, riders would have the slim drop shaped shield.


Ok we stand there between pleasing the ignorent crowd and keep the horns (but for the games sake, change the horns), or take them away and please the historians.

I say keep the horns, but make the viking look more barbaric and uncivilised, give him long blond hair and beard, and a cape of bear pelt, so we end up with a berserker viking :D

Damn ... Consider the viking completely changed. Thanks for the feedback. The horns wasa stupid idea - I admit.

:mad:

Yup mucho good idea! Me like, me like!

[Greeny]

Thank you Frujin :)

Look if sunflowers want to put horns on their viking they they will do so. its their game. Deal with it. I don't mind it at all. This is not sapposed to be that historic down to the tiniest detail.

Not the point, this game appears to be more realistic than most, why spoil it by having a viking with horns. (and silly ones at that)

Anyway, even if they keep the horns i'd still buy it, but the whole point of this forum is to give our ideas and suggestions. :cheers:

[timurlenk]

are they changed now???

[Frank Fay]

yes they are...

[King Yngvar]

Would it be too much to hope for eye protection, larger round shields, swords instead of axes, namechange to "Huskar", "Berserker" or "Hirdmann" and a berserkegangr ability? :D

[the knightly sword]

i want axe units we have enough sword units :angry: axe no sword mabye bigger shields but no sword
