I’ve felt for a long time that Vikings’ unique techs are unreasonably expensive.
Why is Chieftains (infantry +5 vs cavalry, +4 vs camels) more expensive than Szlachta Privileges (Poles’ discount on knights)?
Why does Berserkergang cost 800f 450g when it is not even close to viable unless you’ve already massed 20-30 Berserks?
Thumb Ring was taken away because Vikings’ signature push was fast imp arb siege ram and they should play into infantry instead.
They already have the tools for that but need to throw away their eco lead to get all their techs.
If only the upgrades were cheaper, Vikings could scale into FU Berserk at least as fast as Mayans get to FU El Dorado Eagles.
Vikings are still bad in trash wars, so their new imp identity would be an infantry + siege ram push no later than mid imp, trying to come in before the enemy masses an imperial age anti-infantry unit.
I think Vikings would be in a good place, then, and making their UTs cheaper does not change their identity or require a rework of civ bonuses.
