Norse infantry are lightly armored, but have a large attack. The general-purpose Ulfsarks should form the backbone of any Norse army. They are particularly good at defeating cavalry, but are weak against archers. The Ulfsark can serve as a decent scout in the early Ages.

Viking warriors who wore wolf skins into battle were known as Ulfsarks, another tradition of the Berserks (bear skins). These men were renowned for their tendency to go into battle frenzy. Ulfsarks fought on foot, armed mainly with axes and swords. They generally wore minimal armor, preferring the freedom of movement rather than the heavier protection.
