Need long axes 2h or polearms. I was so sad when I picked up Norse faction in MP then my eyes scanned the weapons so hard to find it, but they never saw any Dane axe. Then I figured there is none in SP neither. This is a really bad point because those are both historical and emblematic, for Saxons or Norses likewise.
Its actualy not soo simple.

The double-bitted axes depicted in modern "Viking" art are likely pure fantasy.
.. sturdy axes that could be thrown or swung ...
There were the:
The larger forms were as long as a man and made to be used with both hands, called the Daneaxe
But not a common weapon. Kind of weapon to use on a raid (not a organized combat). Great to break doors. Or to use on a wedge attack to break a shieldwall. Use it to bring down a shield while the guy behind you can use a spear to kill the enemy.
Maybe they could implement a way to only let a small % of players using it on MP. As for SP it will be rare if no troops have it, as only you and your companions will be crazy enough to carry one hehe
