Denmark
Unique Ability: Skalds - Melee units pay no movement point cost to pillage. Gain bonus gold and culture when pillaging equal to 10% of gold pillaged.
Unique Unit: Drekar - Replaces Galleass. Melee 19 strength. 4 movement. May enter deep ocean. Allied embarked land units within 3 tiles may enter deep ocean and spend only 1 movement point to disembark.
Unique Unit: Berserker - [As is]

The point is to make Denmark stronger, more cohesive and a little more well-rounded.

You should also add for the UA: No DoW require to pillage foreign lands

@ otaman1:

That would be outright rediculous.

You get to plunder and devastate their empire, and anyone stopping you gets called the warmonger?

In reality, the Vikings aka Danish pillaged lands without declaring war.

You need to think of gameplay purposes though. That would be way overpowered.

I'm pretty sure it qualifies as an excuse for a war on the other side with no warmongering penalty.

How could you pillage if you're not at war? Their improvements will be inside their territory. I'm pretty sure the vikings didn't get an open borders agreement before they pillaged.

You could possibly make only Beserkers allowed to pillage without a declared war.

Alternatively, only allow it on city states.

In reality Vikings were treated as Barbarians and thus were treated as being at war with. Pillaging lands without declaring war would just result in war to begin with by any sane player.
