- Heavy armor wont slow you down

Well no, this mod shows us that in real medieval times, armors were indeed heavy and cumbersome like depicted in 20th century movies, and not fine works of smithing actually lighter and better balanced than the equipment of modern armies as historians experts of that domain say and factual evidence proves.


But we also learned that wearing a "heavy plate armor" would turn you into some kind of blackhole that could be seen when you turned your chest.

* Javelins/arrows/projectiles would never go deeper than 1 inch into a target.


* When you went into the sacred ruins of duel, accepted a duel with someone and killed him, all your wounds were automatically sealed, healed and your blood restored into your body, thus making it possible to chain duels without risk of injury if you can succeed at each one, even if your body is splattered with 5000L of blood by the end of the day.


* Great Lance and Jousting Lance could not be used as a pike when not on horse and could only be held into one's lap.


* Fighters couldnt speak on the battlefield, except through basic prerecorded female voices, so that when someone wanted to say things like "good job", "I see you", "lets fight honorably"; he had to do an overhead block and hold it toward his interlocutor.


* People often jumped and spinned mid-air multiple times to show off, mock someone or simply to show spirit before/during/after battle.


* To avoid projectiles, meleist often danced or held swing attacks while bending their body at a 90° angle.


* To test the power of one's weaponry, people often invited acquaintances to be hit at various bodyparts until death occured; thus calculating the average hits needed to kill a man.


* There was no way tu surrender, and the battlefield could not be fled from, thus everyone fighted to the last man; the only other option was to commit suicide by heart attack (always through the head).


* A battle was considered a victory when one of the two sides had been completely obliterated at least 4 times, more if the rules of war were modified by demi gods before or during the battle itself.


* Having a strangely shaped head was commonly bragged about and ugliness was often the mark of one's skill.


* Sometimes, after a battle, a horse would spring back from the dead without a scratch, and a horse dealt with no blows would suddenly break and need repairs to use it at top efficiency.

1. The medieval society was homopfobic.

Who at the same time appear to be openly gay.

The gods maintained a repository of souls that connected to the physical world via portals in the astral plane. If these connections were ever severed then every man and woman in the world would lose their unique identity and they would all become clones with identical physical capabilities until the connection to the repository of souls could be reestablished.

It is fully 100% possible to reload a full sized crossbow on horseback while riding and turning and stopping and doing everything else with no hands!

I tried it myself irl, but I fell off and broke my back the moment I started to reload. It must be some long forgotten skill of our warriors and horse whisperers of the past.
