The Rus was the exception to the rule of Vikings as mainly raiders. To an extent. Also there there was raiding involved. Additionally, saying that 99% of the Vikings weren't raiders, as you say, is completely wrong. The Vikings may not have been just as bad as the people experiencing them claimed, but they were by no means much good either. They were raiders, and firstly that. But they did make some good accomplishments after they begun settling down in the places they attacked.

It wasn´t me who said that 99% were good, it was Yngvar Ustvedt who said that.

Despite a furious search in my book shelf and on the web I can´t find any facts supporting the claim that "vikings" were nothing other than the seagoing raiders and colonizers described in the wikipedia article above....

Damn, I was so sure I was right and everybody else was wrong

Now I feel like a complete and utter fool for making such a fuss about something so wrong...

We forgive you.

Thank you, Lord

Zoid thought we were insulting the civ when we were just saying his name for it was wrong.

**LordShiva** · February 13, 2006, 20:26

Let's insult it then.

Vikings suck

Not so, I just went on a erroneous crusade to correct historical inaccuracies.

It's okay. Don't cry. Do you want a hug?

The Saga of the Eyri People features raider Vikings as distinct from settled population.

Nah, I´m over it.

I'm part Norwegian. Other than that, this post is fairly irrelevant. Norsemen for Civ IV!!!

Zulu's and babylonians were my 2 most played civs in civ1 and 2! be glad to have them back.

**Alexander I** · February 15, 2006, 11:39

Babylonians were my favorite civ too. I found the combination of art and science with military aggression to be very compelling.

**Alexander I** · February 20, 2006, 02:52

I wish they'd go ahead and announce the dang expansion, already!

**Nikolai** · February 20, 2006, 04:04

One would think that they would wait a bit longer than 4 months before announcing any XP though.
