If a naked man armed only with a sword and maybe a shield came charging at you, you would have no idea how to react. If an army of naked men with swords charged you, you would run and/or cower in fear. Fear is their armor.Roman armies trembled in fear most of the times when they saw barbarians. Well, not really =).
Reasons they fought nekid was because if dirty cloth got into a wound it would lead to infection and death
The Viking Berserkers were known to have consumed special mushrooms found in Yggdra forest before battles that apparently would "slow" time for them, remove pain, and give them a rage so powerful they could smash their enemies into oblivion.
There is actually many stories about them in Nordic lore.
For example the lone Berserker who defended a village from approximately 40 enemies on the villages only entrance which was a bridge. Although the Berserker died at the end of the battle (His arm was lopped off near the end of the battle but continued to cut enemies down despite the minor flesh wound) with his final words being "now the village is safe".
Konrax,are you the avatar to your?
This needs to have a film adaptation, now.
Consumable enhancements would be awesome. I could see Heroin_ATS abusing them quite badly :P

I thought being naked was bannable on most servers
jesus half of them look like throwers :shock:not to ruin anything but uh...
not to ruin anything but uh...
pretty much EVERYONE was a thrower in real life. People all carried a few javelins (or at least something to throw at the enemy) with them into battle. Why the hell wouldn't you? That could be a broken enemy shield, an injured or killed enemy. One less dude to fight and maybe even a broken phalanx.
