@@Foraging_in_kent Friendly ogre. For in Tolkien's works where Orcs originated they were generally a bit shorter than humans and not as strong, taking cowardly strength in numbers or having to be forced into becoming organised by a cruel overlord. The idea of Orcs being naturally more muscular than humans comes from the Uruk-Hai specifically, which were a special elite breed of Orcs. More modern nterpretations of Orcs, such as with Warhammer or Warcraft stuff, have been more in line with said Uruk-Hai.

Indeed it would be. Norse berserkers was pretty similar to Eddie - tall, naturally big and strong - they would brute force though you with their dane axe- but a scary part is - not as big and not as strong as Eddie (people in medial times was smaller) - probably around 130kg was extremely rare and super huge...

Love the sounds of armors clashing. Imagine the mad men who were fighting like that in the old times

[@valkymia3708]

It's unlikely that the rank and file would be loaded head to toe in plate like this unless you were a noble. Normal people would likely have a gambeson, a helmet/coif and maybe some mail, maybe they might have a cuirass or birgandine that was extremely well worn and not well fitted. All of that is still extremely protective of course but not nearly to this degree. Broken bones galore and cuts in the less protected areas like hands, wrists, etc.

[@Asraeks]

@@valkymia3708 depends on time region and period. In late middle ages armor like this was relatively common as professional (mercenary) armies were becoming more popular. Brigandine was relatively cheap and people would not save money when it comes to their lives. We can see in paintings from late middle ages that that sort of armor was quite common

[@cnutsack]

Love this kind of video where you explore other sports. Some of the best content.

[@DK_HAXX]

9:26 This is where you abuse what they are doing against you. If they keep "grabbing" stuff on you like the shield, then you take advantage of that and SMASH with ALL your might and then some, your club in a downwards motion aiming for his underarm/bone.... Think "cut his arm off with your blunt club"...... Aim between the openings or the weakspots. Or, in the middle of a big flat piece (jsut transfer the energy into his arm) You dont have to actually cut his arm off, just muster enough strength so that he will break his bone or feel extreme pain.
