Didn't someone mentions that Gaesatae were going to be revised in EBII?

Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

Some very, very elites may say if he is naked he would be easier to kill....![]()

Just because something is naked does not mean it is easily killed. Example: Bears are naked and not particularly easy to kill even when not drugged up to their eyeballs though the latter is much more entertaining.

Source?? I am- as you might have noticed- a Danish Viking Age/medieval historian and I can think of no source saying this. Enlighten me please.
Aparently the occupation of acting as crazy half-naked shock troops wasn't that fatal, the Vikings actually had problems dealing with all the out of work beserkers that were bumming around after the Norse civil wars were done with.
Again I would very much appreciate a source for this assertation...

That is a debate that I won't get in to, and it is irrelevant for my point anyway. Whether they took some substance or if they were just "high on battle" or whatever, the effect was the same. If you want me to say "frenzied charge" rather than "drugged up" I can do that, but the contextual difference is slim at best.Originally Posted by lobf

Not necessarily, for example Gothic Plate is hardly the most manuverable of a equipment especially when compared to "au naturale" berserker performing stunts in the middle of a Roman Formation. Although yes, the guy in Gothic Plate is much more likely to see another days battle rather than the berserker who is much more likely to see a white light with various spats of blood.
