Viks are both reasonably good in BF style maps cause they got good scorpions that can control the important chokepoints + arguably the best champs in the game with the Aztecs ones, which can destroy an economy very quicly if massed; and also in very open Maps like Arabia where the economy matters a lot, with their boosted pikes and good archery, Viks are untouchable in Castle.
The problem of Viks is the long term combat and Imperial wars, where their infantry have to face very heavy cavalry.It's the only problem of Vikes, since their boosted pikes can easily defeat Mongol Hussars (118 HP!) 1v1.
That's why I would like the FE team to consider a +5 attack against cav for Elite Bersekers, or to offset that with Free Conscription for example (to mass more Bersekers and be competitive in the first crucial Imperial Wars). Basically Viks need a boost on land maps from early to mid imperial IMO.
On water they are already top notch.
