[Bara]

Good point, but i say that Vikings would probly win, after all, they are preety cool.. and they do have a lot of advangte over them.

Vikings also had war mammoths, which history proves the Spartans were no match for in Stalingrad.

Bara- As for the lack of armour, that was only an elite group called berserkers, using a tactic called, roughly translated, berserkergang. They would literally go into a frenzy chopping and killing anything that moved. They didn't wear any armor for some reason I don't know, perhaps to enhance the adrenaline effect that helped them not feel any pain. Spartans did wear armour, just breastplates made of bronze, likely overlapping for movement.

Vikings. Both sides are manly but Vikings' gods and heaven were the main influence for Pha and Phahalla, it's heaven. Plus the Vikings are pirates, and pirates kick ass.

The word viking is actually a scandinavian curse-word from the mid 8th century that means pirate. The scandinavians that went  to the southwest were mainly danish, still a very barbaric people
Norwegian scandinavians were mainly quite civilized colonists and traders, likewise was Swedish scandinavians back then. The so called vikings wore a very varied equipment due to the fact that it was their own and thus they could most often not afford any fancier stuff than soft and/or studded leather armours if they had any at all. Some probably wore thick wool as a sort of protection too but the richest (cheiftains and their sons) might have worn ringmail or even scale or chainmail.

i found something instering about the vikings i never knew before. They had calvary.

[The Empire]

Yes, but they only rode TO the battle, they never rode IN battle.
