Fixing the "Viking" civilization

[Optimizer]

Gustavus Adolphus should have Bureaucracy as favourite civic. Together with Axel Oxenstierna, he created several institutions, laws and taxes. Aggressive/Organized would be the most suitable combination.

Kristina would have Spiritual/Organized and prefer Pacifism, and Erlander would have Financial/Industrious and prefer Universal Suffrage.

Two thumbs up for this project!

@berserk: "ber-" could mean a lot of different things for ex bare as in barechested, but if you look at how the word berserkr is used it's clear that it means bearshirt. Compare also with "Ulfhedinn" (wolfskin), wich is another name for these people. It may not necesserily mean that someone is literally wearing an animalskin, but it might have to do with the thought that some people could take the form of a bear in a battle or become one with their "follower". A shamanistic thought that all people have an animal following them in a paralel world.

@reskinned Berserker-unit: I would suggest a shield and an axe, as I think the axe was the most common weapon.

If this is meant to be a civ that covers all of Scandinavias history, I would vote for having the Finns included. After all they mostly have been. (Except perhaps between 1809 - 1917 and before ca 500 AD)

Anyway

The Vikings as they are now would fit better in a future fantasy expansion, together with Atlantis and Mordor.
