Berserker is too strong.

I just noticed berserker has his hp up to 24. Isn't that too strong for a 4 turn unit?
Maybe removing his melee armor would make him balanced?

I'll have to disagree with you there...

Berserker is unable to Insta kill a skirmisher when caught out of rage... Which can be up to 3 turns at a time now...

Stats are weak and now he HAS to have rage to be effective...

I have a campaign map with bersekers and they dominate everything when in a berserk state. Idk if it is because of the bards or in general they are too strong....maybe they really are balanced..

Wait, did I ? It seems that this new berserkers are stronger than the previous ones.. in berserk state they are fatal to most infantry and cavalry also when a bard is nearby it is waay stronger. All Roman units are quite balanced for me.

Erm Roman units don't get smithing upgrades...

This kinda leaves them as an afterthought come late game...

They aren't affected? But I think as compensation for that have techs to buff them ? Legion training and legion missile tactics? Plus a centurion? Mmmmm maybe you are right. They will become weak compared to other units in late game since they aren't affected by smiths.

Yeah, I think it was bugged at the time because I couldn't find a logical, predictable pattern, but using wagons, towers, centurions, castles and other buildings or transports, me and another guy between us managed to get legionaries with +11, +12 - maybe even more. Cant remember what the maxi was, but enough to not need anymore boni.
