I've been playing Civ III for a very long time, and countless times have i played the scandinavians just to use that 6 attack berserk and kick pikeman arse.
I kind of feel sad for doing this since its like using slow bad defense cavalry against pikemen, and by the time i usually get cavalry everyone already has riflemen and i resreach berserkers at lightning speed, sometimes so fast im still killing spearmen with those things.
So am i the only one that thinks this unit is OP?
As far as im concerned 5-1-1 would have of made a good unit yet not too overpowered.

No, they are slow, are crap on defense and can be taken out by Archers, lol

If you're using them from boats, yes they are powerful

But again, unless escorted by a defensive unit, they will die on the counter-attack of the city

So backed up with a defender (preferably Pikemen), they are excellent
