Counterattack Damage +3%
The Vikings embodies war and destruction. All the troops deals 3% more counterattack damage which makes this civilization an ideal pick for PvP battles. Counterattack is a very Player vs Player focused because it is one of the highest amount of damage that any opposing armies can take during the combat. Majority of legendary commanders has it.
