Look mate, the fact is. Viking literally means Raider in Norse language.
They didn't go for land or power they went for easy loot that they could trade for food.
HOWEVER.
In those instances that they went to claim a land they did.
There's a reason Normandy in France is called that. And it's because Northmen claimed the land for them selves.
Only time they really lost was when they where being Vikings (raiders) and they saw that it wasn't going to be an easy loot, so they fled. No reason to die for nothing ;)
One thing is certain. Every single warrior from Ancient times was a fucking badass and would make you keyboard cunts shit your selves.
So honor the fuck out of these proud and fearless men, be they Spartans, Romans, Legionaires, Barbarians, Thracians, Vikings, Samurai or whatever other elite tier warrior.
