Hey guys,
While playing Extended Factions I started thinking about Deadliest Warrior. I know, tis a silly show, but what if they actually did match-ups that made fething sense hey? I mean like forgetting this armadillo with almost 1000 year gaps between the fighters and actually have relatively fair and interesting match-ups.
This got me thinking about a forum game. My thoughts were that we'd post 2 warriors of antiquity with a set of equipment that would be divided into a few categories. Then we could discuss who we think would win and a highly effective, state of the art computer program (ie. Warband with some choice modding) that would tell us who would win as accurately as Warband could.
If you vote for the winner you get... 10 Triumph Points perhaps?
What say you, my friends?
EDIT* Apparently, yes.
1st Match-Up
So far we have:
Late-era Huscarl
- Nordic Arming Sword (I hate Oakeshott typology. It's a major pain the ass, so I'm not gonna bother)
- Large Wooden Round Shield
- Great Axe. Likely a bearded one.
- Perhaps a throwing weapon of some description?
- Mail over boiled leather, conical steel helm.
Steppe Horseman
Now are we talking Sarmatian or more Hunnic? Cause there's a big difference.
Stay tuned!
