43:26 Geogolist here! Technically you are correct, volcanoes "die" when the source of new underground magma is cut off and the magmatic chamber slowly cools off (that's how granite and other intrusive rocks are formed, by slow cristalization of magma) This does take a loooooong time though so it can be "revived" by injections of new/hot magmatic material or the still hot chamber entering in contact with groundwater causing a phreatic explosion/eruption because of the sudden vaporization of water in a confined space. I also learned the word "slag" since English is not my first language (before I would have described the material as either molten metal or lava) So we all learned something today I hope!

[@NeflewitzInc]

In regards to your question about Axes. There were a few examples of two headed Axes for battle but they were rare and were shaped way differently than what is commonly depicted, often with a much longer haft. What was more likely used was something closer to a Dane axe. They are really great at what they do and transfer a shit ton of force into the enemy. Iirc the Scottish used a combined Pike/baskethilted sword front line and two handed axe/claymore second line. The Axes were great at hooking enemy shields and soldiers to pull them aside/into your ranks for allies to kill.

[@knightmareza9478]

There’s also the halberd and poleaxe that are basically twohanded axes with longer handles and extra stabby/hooky bits. Likewise used by various pike units to hook pike shafts and force them out of the way so their friendly pikemen had unobstructed lines of stabbing

[@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714]

Id just doesnt make much sense to put 2 of the same type of weapon on bough sides. It makes much more sense for your polaxe to have a beak or a hammer on the other side, more versatility. You can do it but its not optimal.

42:30 Someone may have already mentioned this, but there is historical precedent for two-handed axes. In the early medieval, the dane axe is a big example. The kicker is that two-handed axes were usually single edged and didn't have two blades. The blade itself was also much thinner than most games tend to portray to manage the weight issue. In later years, the two-handed axe mostly evolved into weapons like the poleaxe and halberd

[@aaverageweeb5660]

Its a great game but can be frustrating if you dont understand things like the hit chance and the level up mechanics. Modding the game can also be a pain but it's worth it, there's no game quite like Morrowind, it'll stick in your mind for a long, long time after playing it.

There were two handed battle axes, like the Dane Axe for example. They usually weren't double headed though, it just adds unnecessary weight. A pole axe (which looks like a halberd) and halberds have multiple heads, but they are a spear-axe-hammer. Polearm is mostly about the length of the handle, it's a very general term, like sword staffs, glaives, halberds, pikes, bec de corbin, dane axe are all polearms.

Honestly, being a polearm doesn't discount something from being something else too, yeah. A Dane Axe is very clearly just an axe, but thats polearm length to me

[@KCUROV]

Hey, I just wanted to say that I've really been enjoying your Morrowind videos. It's rekindled my interest for the game. I had a similar thing happen about a year ago where watching Warlockracy's videos inspired me to give Morrowind a chance. When I first got Steam about twelve years ago, it was the first game I bought for the outdated little laptop I had. My thought process then was "it's like skyrim but I can run it!" and I played it for about a week and never got into it, and I hadn't touched it again till recently. I've always had a soft spot for Morrowind but I never had the patience until I was older. I know that's a "bro who asked" kind of story but Warlockracy's videos inspired me to give it a chance, and your videos show me how much more can be done with the game, and so I'm taking another dive into it. I'm glad there's good Morrowind content between the both of you, since it really is a good game that tends to be overshadowed by the newer games. Also, I think it'd be neat if you tried these kinds of challenges but for the Great House or Guild questlines, or for something in Tamriel Rebuilt. There's a version of the "I Heart Vanilla" modlist where it has Tamriel Rebuilt alongside Skyrim: Home of the Nords, there's a lot of good content and questlines between both that most people (including myself) haven't really seen on KZbin.

And in fact were quite a common polearm in the early middle ages. Look up the Dane Ax ;)

As for your question on battleaxes: the vikings used some large two-handed axes. Though they would not have been double-headed like the conjured one here. Theres ofc also the headsmans axe but thats not a weapon so much as it is a tool. In general I believe there isnt much a large axe can do that a polearm cant do better which you sort of touched on. Part of the allure with hatchets and handaxes is that they are cheap and can be helpful as tools as well which you also start to lose with something heavier and with a larger blade.

Yes, two handed axes did exist and were used in battle (look up the "Dane Axe" for some examples), but they weren't typically double headed, like you see in virtually all fantasy depictions.

[@themeddite]

Regarding your Battleaxe question, there were multiple types, as surprisingly enough, they were called battle axes cause they were used, for battle. Theres no real historical example for double headed axes where they were the same on both sides, however a lot of axes has a spike or a smaller pointier blade on the back for punching holes in armor, some even had hammers on the back, some also had long hooks on the main blade for reaching around and stabbing or just hooking and enemy's leg or arm. But Battle Axes were any axe designed for war.

42:30 So big two handed axes were a real thing, but it's rare that they had two axe heads, as it's kinda redundant to have two heads that do the same think. Two examples of two handed fighting axes that come to mind are the Danish 'Dane Axe' and the Japanese 'Masakari''

[@cdgonepotatoes4219]

42:19 Yes, though not in the format most fantasy settings portray them as. Double-headed axes existed in two contexts which were decorative (specially in india) and the logging industry when trees were still cut by hand, as you could just flip to the other blade halfway through the day instead of having to carry two axes or keep stopping to resharpen the edge. Two-handed axes were weapons used both by bodyguards which applied lots of pushing and hooking with them (particularly good if there's two of you manipulating one person), and in skirmishes and battles to reach from behind a shield wall with big overhead swings, to try and form crack in the enemy's own shield wall. In a way, they had a similar role to that of the later greatswords, though I don't believe they ever shared a time period.
