I don't know if this is the right place to rant about, but I just finished Deadliest Warrior Season 2. Deadliest Warrior was essentially two historical warriors fighting to the death. One episode pitted the Aztec Jaguar against the Zande. And I do agree that the Zande would win a straight-up fight (but the Aztec armor would give them a bit of a hard time) due to iron weapons. But I disagree with how the hosts viewed the Atlatl and it should have been given the edge against the Kpinga throwing knife.
Yes the Kpinga throwing knife could do more damage, it's a fucking knife. It looks impressive, but it has a limited range and the accuracy goes down the farther the enemy is. While the same is true for the Atlatl and Tlacochtli, the range is so much farther. The Atlatl was accurate up to 100 yards if I remember correctly and I read that a skilled thrower could hit a target around 150 yards. The Kpinga is effective at 30 feet. The Atlatl's effective at 300. The Aztec could snipe the Zande, if they started out at a long range. And they were accurate, I wish it was showcased better but the man throwing it is a parkour expert, not an atlatl expert.
The Tlacochtli or dart is an effective weapon. Similar weapons brought down mastodons and other large animals, so they are deadly especially against an unarmored target. The atlatl in the show even seemed to penetrate pig flesh well, but because it hit where the arm "was" it was deemed not deadly. Just because it was not showy, doesn't make it a bad weapon. The Kpinga did more brutal damage, but if I had to choose between an Atlatl or a Kpinga and fight whoever chose the other weapon, I would gladly choose the Atlatl. Why? Because, I could fucking snipe the guy with a knife that's restricted 30 feet, maybe 50 feet with low accuracy.
The Zande arrows could not penetrate the armor. The Aztec sling the Tematlatl is a brutal weapon. The Aztec should have gotten this edge and long range domination.
I do think the Zande would beat an Aztec, in an upright fight. But long range, the Aztecs going to win this. You could have the most brutal weapon in the world, but if I were skilled in a weapon that outranges yours, then it's not a big contest, or surprise who's winning.
would be cool to play this DLC time to time ?
I want to see Spetsnaz vs Dolphins (edit) in the Olympic Park in Sochi
I LOVED Deadliest Warrior dlc for chivalry 1

PLEAAASE make DW2 <3<3<3<3
I am who the Westerners call the Swordsman.
I was born in 1740, part of an extremely dangerous clan residing in the Philippines numbering a few thousand. We were the most dangerous swordsmen ever, we could easily destroy berserkers, Aztec warriors, knights, samurai, and even spartans. Our martial art and training technique could only be compared to Escrima, but much, much more extreme. Ever since we could pick up a sword we trained and trained throughout adulthood, and our techniques were so extreme and unseen that no one could stand a chance against one of our swordsmen. We primarily used a single long, slender vanta black blade two and a half to four feet long, with straps wrapping around the tang.
The swords were different from most Filipino swords, they were made out of an extremely durable material found in the mountains, and were extremely sharp, sharp enough to slice through the skin on contact. They were able to easily slice and break a bone and were kept in white polished wooden scabbards wrapped in rope, which we would strap to either our waists or over the shoulder.
Depending on the size and weight, the swords could be wielded with either one or two hands but were usually wielded with the dominant hand. We learned the most brutal, quick, and deadly techniques to use the sword, breaking the guard, controlling the opponent’s blade, and delivering quick slashes and stabs into the most vital parts of the area. We learned to be precise with the swords and were able to stab extremely small points of damage with accuracy and ease.
One of our most important training aspects was the ability to have extremely accurate, perfect edge alignment when moving very quickly and slashing in quick succession. That combined with the extreme sharpness, weight, durability, and the tip of the blade which was sharper than a needle made a good swordsman wielding the blade nearly unstoppable. We could slice, slash, cut, and penetrate through nearly anything, and steel armor was utterly unmatched to the ability of our blades and swordsmen.
The swords were called Stygian Blades, translated to English.
Lots of footwork, empty-hand, and hand techniques were involved, parries, using the non-dominant hand to catch the opponent’s arm, slips, and mobility of the sword. Speed and direct, powerful, and brutal precision were the main principles, along with being extremely evasive and fast, to avoid being hit while hitting. Our armor was extremely durable, and protected us fro

Anyone knows what happens after the 4th level? Is the rate of enemy spawn there infinite? I've wanted to know the answer about this for years...What happens in the end?
Team 1: French Knight, Ninja, Maori Warrior, Viking
Team 2: Persian Immortal, Celt, Apache, Roman Centurion
Presume this is the above average version of these warriors. So not the rank and file but the elite class. The guys who command the divisions, guard the king etc
Neutral grassy battlefield
no intel on each other.
So the Spartan won, but I never believed it as the show has a long history of distorting facts and making obviously bad calls. I also don't believe the verdict, because the Samurai has STEEL weapons compared to the Spartan's bronze and iron weapons. That and the Samurai has incredibly important advantages in weapons such as how the katana but outreaches and outcuts the Spartan short sword, and the Yumi bow is obviously a better choice of weapon than the javelin. The samurai also has steel armor and a steel helmet, so the Spartan shield can't inflict head injuries to the samurai.
For this submission I want to bring your attention to something truly special behold (skip to 2:24). While deadliest warrior is foremost entertainment with actors and fake experts, I cannot help when rewatching it wonder about the strange decisions both the Waffen-SS and Vietcong made. Even ignoring the historical accuracy flaws there are some questionable tactics used.
When the Vietcong interrogated the SS pow, why did they do it in the open and not a enclosed guard building? Why was no one watching the surroundings to check for enemy soldiers when a rescue attempt was inevitably made? The idiot planting the mine how does he know that his fellow soldiers will not step in that exact area?
The Vietcong blindly charging into the forest chasing the SS, did they not realize they might get ambushed? Why did the SS solider point a pistol when he is literally holding a sub machine gun? The SS running thru the forest, did they not realize the Vietcong also may have boobytrapped it?
Then there the one on one, two brilliant soldiers blindly shooting without looking at their surroundings. Finally there is the Vietcong soldier blasting away at the car without taking any precautions leading to his death.
I know I am over analyzing turn your brain off media but man did deadliest warrior age badly.
It's been dead for a while now and I'll miss playing it. I bought the game back in 2019 so I haven't played it as much, but I still enjoyed playing it and duking it out with those who've played it for years, even if I constantly got my ass handed to me. RIP, I wish I could've played more.
Hello everyone! I'm here to ask if anyone would like to get together over the summer and play chivalry deadliest warrior. As of April 26th 2021, the servers are completely dead. I would absolutely love to play this title one last time before Chiv 2 completely takes away from it. I really want to relive The Glory Days of this game. My goal is to get a couple days in the summer to get people on deadliest warrior. If anyone would like to do this just message me and I can add you to a discord!
Is there anyone who think that Record of Ragnarok similar to Deadliest Warrior
both are similar to each other like historical domain character but other one is documentary
Just a thread to provoke discussion which may lead to a story. But is really more of just for fun really to provoke interesting conversation. Suppose you had to create the highest quality soldier possible. For the level of technology maybe a hundred years out. The criteria for quality is for you to determine based on what hypothetical conflict may exist 100 years from now. Assume you've got access to a near surplus on capital reasources to train, recruit, and/ or build your pinnacle combatant.
