i don´t know how much you guys know about vikings, but i know a few things from "Germanic Peoples" the Vikings on the land of Germany/Russia and France. They have good weapons but most of them are for hunting woodcutting and some other work.

the most weapons are axes, spears,javelins, bows and some scramasax(short sword) iron was quite rare but they know how to forge it.

javelins are made out of wood also the front are only wood, its easy to make and quite effective also against armored enemys like the romans (in this case).

they made much trade.

the greatest problem was, it was not one folk! they fighting each other so for the romans was it easy to raid them.

they made one war against romans together and won. They used quite a few guerillia tactics against the turtle formations of romans. So wild folk is not stupid or so the problem or the advantage of the Germanic People was their armor, they have no to less armor only some Jarls(Chiefs) have right armor (helmet, chest, leggins and boots out of iron) most of the folk wear only thicker clothes or some leather parts so they are quite agile but haven´t any/less amor.

the second thing is the bersercer or rage mode quite affective and most of this comes from much alcohol before the battle.

hope i could help and kudos to the suggestion!
