I just had a quick comparison look at the troop trees, and the Noregr faction's best units are way worse than the Nordic Union's. Why is this so? I mean, surely a proud warrior faction hailing from the great Nords would be more badass? Even when you think of the fact that they worship the pagan Norse gods, in which you would not care if you would die in battle, therefore fighting extremely hard and often breaking the enemies' morale due to this extreme barbarism.
