Wrath of the Norsemen is a modification of Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms, set in the viking age. The aim is to create a mod that is both historical and enjoyable for anyone who has an interest in the early medieval era of history, or is just a little bit too fond of blood and big axes.

Description

I've edited the Berserker-mesh and replaced the one-handed axe and shield with the Huskarl 2handed axe and placed the shield on the back.

Why you ask?

Because the berserker mental state didn't look good in battle with a 1handed weapon. Sure, it still doesn't look as good as in Rome: Total War because the animation there is different - but it does look better with a 2h axe than with a 1h axe and shield.

Edit:

The "Berserker" mental state is activated randomly during a battle, unless you hand out the "Warcry"-attribute to the unit - because when using the Warcry ability they'll immediately go berserk and charge at the enemy - no matter how far away the enemy is.

As such I've added the "Warcry"-attribute to the Berserkirs and the Ulfhednars - the Berserkirs also lacked the "scare enemy infantry"-attribute which has been added - the Ulfhednars already had this.
