Hey everybody! I've been thinking, after seeing endless rounds of vikings in EW arabia, that Vikings eco might be a little OP even for RM.
I mean, free wheelbarrow + free handcart seems to be just to usefull in any given scenario (land map, hybrid, water map, 1 tc full push, 3 tc boom...). It gives 2 huge bust in early feudal and early castle age, too powerfull and to universal to be balanced (for a civ that doesn't need that much food after all)
IMHO, nerfing the bersekers was not a good call, since it's not the main unit vikings go (yeah, in TG or EW we might see them, due to the extra gold available). Arbalest + siege ram seems a little to easy to obtain to vikings.
I was thinking that something similar to Goth's loom could be done to wheelbarrow and handcart. Either free but not immediately or immediatelybut not free. Maybe do that just to handcart and keep wheelbarrow the same.
Anyway, that's my 2 cents on the matter. what's yours?
