In addition, their infantry units receive a 10% Hit Point bonus in the Feudal Age, which increases to a 15% Hit Point bonus in the Castle Age and then to a 20% Hit Point bonus in the Imperial Age. Their health regeneration rate can be boosted with the technology Berserkergang. They are a fast infantry unit strong against other infantry and light cavalry, and to an extent against buildings. The Berserk is a warrior equipped with an axe, produced at a Castle that regenerates its health over time. This is reflected by their unique unit, the Berserker, and their unique technology that would benefit them. The Vikings did not actually wear spiked or horned helmets, but they refrained from trimming their head and facial hair to give the look of a big, scary, and hairy beast. As a result, their navy and infantry are among the finest in the game and are one of the few civilizations to have more than one unique unit. They were also known for bringing fear among several European communities since they would raid small villages unexpectedly.

The Vikings were best known for being advent sailors and for establishing colonies in the North Atlantic in Greenland and Canada before the European explorers.
