in fact , there arent many people that wear kuyak, seeing kuyak in battle server is extremely rare
and this, with anything. no real medieval warrior would ever wear something so ugly!(click to show/hide)
Haha yes....this...100xYou ss'd 2 people out of 60 that were wearing a kuyak. I dont think you made your point.
Just tabbed back into game after writing here and insta SS's.(click to show/hide)(click to show/hide)

There could be a competition of who can make a screen of most kyak great sword guys in same picture.And you can see them at the scene of a murder in that pic.Probably could do better but I remember being so amused when totally random people end up getting the almost exactly same equipment. Must be pretty cool then.(click to show/hide)
Which helmet was used with a Kuyak then?
Back during my last 30/9 2h gen (6 or 7th gen, I think), I ran around with a Winged Great Helmet and a Heavy Kuyak. It was as historically inaccurate as it was stylish.

Don't worry, I have been busy over last 2 days getting screens of those that are getting it right and those getting it wrong. I will publish this library later this week. About 4 from 40-50 people are wearing accurate helmets.

Look at

and
russ13.htm (Kuyak)
What is this obsession with taking germanic Klappvisier, you're not "cool" or "badass" you just look like a joke. Plus it's usually those that, i've gotta say, tend to not exactly be fond of german history that tend to take it...megalol.

I mean, lets say I've got my kuyak, and found that it does the job, but i need a 50-54 point helmet (from my observations) to really be in an ideal place with my build - whats a barbarian to do?
Don't be a munchkin and wear a barbarian helmet? Also, Kuyak is not a barbarian armor.

What kind of armors are Kuyaks then, thought they were Viking armors?
I fail to see how a Kuyak makes anyone feel like a berserk.
1. Berserks are a myth.
2. In the myth, they are naked or wear plain fur coats, not armor.

Because it has fur on them.
Since when does this comunity cares about historical accuracy?
I dont get it.
Are you suggesting that archers didn't exist?
Archers didn't just shoot loosely into a mass of enemy infantry. Consider sieges or skirmishers.
In fact, use common sence before suggesting that archers couldn't aim at their targets.

1. Berserks are most likely, not a myth, from what I've read.
There are numerous references in the more factual saga's, and they are often referenced as the Chieftain's personal guard. From my observation, they seem to possibly be a precursor/earlier version to the later viking age bearded/two-handed axe guards seen among the late viking age, vikings and saxon armies, who where a more organized, uniformly outfitted and more group tactic prepared, personal retinue/body guard of the War leader in question. The extent of these late viking age 'axe guards' are often exaggerated, such as the Jomsvikings etc, but it is pretty well accepted, that the Saxon army of Harold Godwinson, probably had the finest example of these 'axe guards'. Its also of note, that, 1066/hastings seems to be the high point of the 'axe guard' and from this point on, they became secondary and then all together gone, replaced by heavier Cavalry, heavier armor, and longer polearms, and battle tactics that no longer could use them effectively. Atleast in the west. Its likely that the bearded axe continued on as an infantry weapon, but as a trained broup, and bodyguard, they seemed to fade into history.
2. They are also not always referenced as purely naked or in furs. They where as referenced, more likely to go into battle less armored, and to cast away thier shields and helmets etc, at the proper time, in order not to exhaust themselves more.
3. There are references (I believe by the romans) of Continental Germanics from an earlier age, related to the Vikings, belonging to an Odinic/Wotanic cult, that, painted themselves black, and went into battle in such a way, but, the references in the later saga's, do not refer to berserks uniformly going into battle unclothed/in furs only, or even lightly armored, in some cases. You may have seen an example of these earlier Wotanic berserkers in TW barbarian invasion, and Europa barborum.

Actually most crpg players are infs.
Right, except that the first time berserks are mentioned is in a poem written by a guy known for inventing words to make his poems more poetic. Then they aren't mentioned again in a looooooong time.
The most credible explanation for berserks i've heard is that they were formed by criminals given a chance to redeem themselves in battle. This would also explain why they didn't have proper equipment, and thus had to rely on drugs to make them more resilient to damage.
i wear lordly lammelar gauntlets, nordic warlord helmet, lordly heavy kuyak, rus splinted greaves / mail chausses, a mw german gs and a plain cav shield. THIS is crpg, not a historycally accurate game atall howevermuch u want it. iam nord! and my kuyak keeps me warm
I don't see the problem, really. Let them dress how they like. :|

uhm, they didi it becaus eof their beliefs, (runes,gods at those stuff) they thought they were be unkillable, they charged in done (or tried atleast) to do some damage and (tried) to run then away alive but mostly they died or if they came out they died because of the wounds
It also keeps you homosexual. Well worth it in these homophobic times.
I fail to see how a Kuyak makes anyone feel like a berserk.It's not the Kuyak, it's their masterwork danish lightsaber of compensation that makes them feel like an invincible He-man.
only thing very homosexual about this thread= people utterly whining about peoples outfits, like wtf is this thread aboot, what the actual fuck, like think for a sec what youre typing about and complaining about, like just for a bit, and then think if it will change enything, and then think again, and then hopefully you will have an apiphany and realise like what the fuck am i whining about,..( btw that picture of me in the hall of shame is epic look at how cool i look, my god the outfit is so slik and finished and im in a badass pose, my god i will become even more famous now )
I don't see the problem, really. Let them dress how they like. :|
It's by no means a whine thread, get it right, that's why it's in the "realism" section, which is there so that people can post ideas or thoughts on what they think is unrealistic on cRPG.
And no, you look ridiculous.
Pretty much this, because people will dress how they like, but still, some cool coding where only certain items are pickable once you choose your main armor in-game would be a cool little bonus imo...never gonna happen though :?
youre a retarded hypocrit phil, same like all other in this thread, go ride arround on siege walls on an arabian warhorse more , circlejerk thread
so the kuyak is now the only item that cannot match eny other items bases on historical accuracy >>?? yes you are indeed as retarded as i stated. if you gonna bash on the kuyak might aswell bash on enything else that isnt historicly accurate, that is my point, you are all hypocrites on this topic. pointing out you riding on an arabian bred warhorse while in whatever knightly outfit is also inaccurate, thus fuck you why am i typing here, i already stated my point.
Arrival in Europe
Probably the earliest horses with Arabian bloodlines to enter Europe came indirectly, through Spain and France. Others would have arrived with returning Crusaders[97] beginning in 1095, European armies invaded Palestine and many knights returned home with Arabian horses as spoils of war. Later, as knights and the heavy, armored war horses who carried them became obsolete, Arabian horses and their descendants were used to develop faster, agile light cavalry horses that were used in warfare into the 20th century.[76]
Another major infusion of Arabian horses into Europe occurred when the Ottoman Turks sent 300,000 horsemen into Hungary in 1522, many of whom were mounted on pure-blooded Arabians, captured during raids into Arabia. By 1529, the Ottomans reached Vienna, where they were stopped by the Polish and Hungarian armies, who captured these horses from the defeated Ottoman cavalry. Some of these animals provided foundation bloodstock for the major studs of eastern Europe.[113][114]
No one dears to put a picture of Tor here in the fear of getting crushed every time they're on the same server :mrgreen:

:mrgreen:
so they were brought back as spoils of war.... that didnt happen with enything else? the problem with this thread is you make a wall of shame , bash people using the gear they think suites well together+ is in theyr clan theme ( yes i know kuyak is officialy russian, but we nords consider it suitable nord look) whine about shit not being historicly accurate, wishing for code to force people into wairing suiting armors, yes you do tic me off, and yes i do partially rage at that shit. i guess il leave you guys to circle jerk about how innacurate crpg is. good luck with stating the constant obvious, and stroking eachother on howmuch time you put into digging into the past.
