Even if Cfp hadn't countered your vote I wouldn't have counted it, Alock. Your analysis is extremely cursory, overgeneralizes the Vikings and glosses over important factors like armor and formations.

Also,the Vikings, like the Romans, fought, marched, and lived together on campaign. Pretty much all soldiers in an army do that. There's nothing special there.
