Vikings, for example, have the reputation of being hairy, smelly, and dirty.  However, at least at some point in their heyday, a weekly bath (or perhaps more often) was considered normal.  Bath houses in "Viking" (I do not necessarily speak of the raiders, but rather of the people as a whole) settlements were common.

That's true.
The Russians, for example, picked up the habbit of bathing houses from the Vikings (the Varjags, as they called them) somewhere around the 9th sentury. About the 15th sentury those baths ("banja" in russian, kind of a dry sauna) become so popular that every hamlet hosted one. It was common to bath in one of those at least twice a week. And i'm talking about peasantry!!! Noble people bathed at least once a day, if the situation allowed.

Thats one of those things where you whack yourself with a cedar branch right? I didn't realize that was a Viking inspiration.

spurious 说:

On a similar note, there are many pictures of people throughout the medieval period working in just their underwear, or with their hose rolled down and their braies exposed, indicating these were note really treated in the same way as we'd think of pants and boxer-shorts.

More akin to a pair of work pants then worn over one's normal pants these days?

I'd personally like to send the goofy looking guy in the green hose flying.

There's no recorded instances of lightning striking anyone in battle, nor is there any recorded instances of lightning killing anyone AFAIK. Why the hell would anyone keep records about it?

Oddness factor perhaps. I can see somebody wanting to record that the general of their army was zapped from above while waving his sword around trying to inspire the troops. Of course lack of evidence suggests that this probably never really happened.

Merlkir 说:

the price and sword/other weapons ratio is right, mostly in the early middle ages. Later when the technology was on a high level it wasn't too rare to see footsoldiers and mercenaries with swords either.
The sword snapping on someone's armor...well, that's exagerration...

One should probably point out that most combatants not having swords was also a function of them not needing a dedicated tool of war. A peasant levy will fight just fine with wood axes and farm implements. A chopping action to the noggin is still a chopping action to the noggin whether its delivered via a battle axe, a farm hatchet or an arming sword.

I do have a question, and I suspect this getting to be later than the early to middle medieval period we're talking about, but why the heck were Swiss mercenaries so feared? I get how field battles worked in the 16th and 17th centuries (armies marched at each other and the guys that didn't run away first won) but did that just mean the Swiss were really brave (or just really stupid)?

I'm so going with Charlemange and his Paladins. Roland for the win.

For the semimythical Sun Tzu. While I've yet to find any evidence that he actually was a real person, there isn't any solid evidence to suggest that somebody else wrote the Art of War. So that man, real or not, gets my vote as my favourite "hero".

Thanks for telling me how to get the face codes!  I made a whole bunch of NPC faces and brief descriptions.  Please feel free to use as many as you want.  Some would be good as recruitables and others as enemies or allies

This one so has to be included as a recruitable NPC. Who wouldn't want Clint Eastwood as their Wild West buddy?

Could somebody explain how to install this? I figured out where to put the TXT and BRF files but the Python source is beyond me since I can't find the MODULESYSTEM folder in my Mount&Blade base folder.

Unless I'm completely missing something here I don't think there is a MODULESYSTEM folder.

srbraveandstupid 说:

how about that armour in rivacheg, the one in the chest.... is that still there, because i think its better than any armour in the game,and i dont think its a cheat, more like a secret

The Strange Armour, Helm, Boots, Bastard Sword, Great Sword and Short Sword? Yeah, its damn good gear with a minimum of weight requirments and pretty heft bonuses.

Beleriphon 说:

Has anybody thought about actual named bands of bandits wandering around? What with the way way 0.89X seems to be working that makes things a whole lot more plausible, and probably more fun. I think it would be a real kick to go hunting after actual outlaws from history. Bringing down Jesse James sounds like a hoot.

点击展开...

Yea, I thought about that, but I'm not sure if they will be historical characters.

点击展开...

Fair enough. That said some homages to historical characters should be in order. If not Jesse James an appropriately alliterative fictional outlaw should work.

Ivory ninja does work with 893 and I have found that chest everyone is looking for.

[move]Its somewhere in Werecheg

I've got Zendar, Werecheg, Veluca and Sargoth, but no fifth chest. How about a hint for where that last one is hiding.
