Viking thralls are Viking peasants with the advantage of being slightly less
rancid than the peasant unit everyone else gets. They do get the spear rank
bonus, which does boost their stats up a little better than the ones listed
here. You can use them like (very) low-grade spearmen but why bother when proper
spearmen are very close to hand? If you must use them in combat you should use
them as a junk unit to pin an enemy while you attack with something better
(although I can’t see why the Vikings would need to pin anything as they have
no javelins, no naptha and all their main fighting troops can charge headlong
into anything and do a heck of a lot of damage) or to absorb missile fire. Use
them as garrison troops.
