Aren't they a bit tough? Also, I'm not sure barbarians have to fight animals, so that +50% for the Helwyr seems a tiny bit redundant.

I'm guessing this is meant to go alongside enchanced barbarian navies, with all those amphibious abilities.

Not now but think think they should. Maybe in the next mod, Lopez, they also will have to?

@Lopez
The amphibious seems not so good on second thought for the Helwyr. A woodsman won't be a seafarer normally. Maybe double movement in wood would be cool on him instead I think. Nice work!

Forget about this post.
Could someone delete it please?

Anyone try this with latest version of Warlords?
