if so, I'll mod them right away to make them weaker, cause it seems quite unbalancing.

Why not try the game as is first...? They have been play-testing the thing, you know, and I'm sure they had balance in mind while doing so.

However, WarpStorm's link to CF indicates that only the following civs will have seafaring as a trait:

Loulong's list only contains changes that have appeared in previews. For instance, the English being Commercial/Seafaring is included in his info. The Viking traits, on the other hand, are still speculation.

Not if you take their shield cost into account.

What is 25% of 6? Do they round up or down?

I haven't seen evidence of defense combat values being rounded, so why would attack values?

So Berzerkers doing an Amphibious asault would have something like 7.5?

Better on the attack than modern infantry

They have big axes right??

Berserkers would be only 75% as good as marines. Marines are also available to anyone (when the timing is right).

So thats why the world wars dragged on. We should have used big axes! Please tell me there isnt a huge imbalance like that in the game

Vikings are good on offense. Real good. On a map where navies are useful, they are awesome on offense. They are also expensive and stink on defense. They can take an area but they can't hold it by themselves.
