Historians: Let's analyze from historical records and physics how weapons were probably used in combat during medieval times. This guy: Hold my chainmail, lemme get one of my horses and some of my polearms...
-
Great stuff Jason, thanks for taking this on and playing with it!
-
That horse is thinking, "Humans sure are weird. Mine likes to talk to that black thing over there while swinging stuff over my head."
-
My favorite thing about this channel is the way Jason treats his horses. The irony always makes me smile: A horse named Warlord, a flawlessly faithful, intimidating, fearless, indomitable machine of destruction. And how did Jason train it to be so? By treating it with absolute kindness, understanding, and gentleness. "Good boy."
-
Imagine: you are in the middle of the battlefield then this guy comes charging into you and all you can hear is "THWOCK! Good boy".
-
"This does resemble a meat tenderiser, which is exactly what it is." - a baddass
-
Polearm and helmet violently colliding a foot away from the horse's head: WHANG Warlord: "It is of no concern to me, for I am a good boy."
-
I bet this channel got many many new people into history. I'm certainly one of them! Thanks for all you do, Jason!
-
The level of professionalism in this channel is amazing. I think Jason commitment and enthusiasm is actually inspiring
-
12:45 Oh boy, that very quickly went from "bloke on horse flailing around" to "absolutely terrifying angel of death"
-
This man is nearly a centaur. they move so seamlessly. Can't imagine trying to fight someone this well trained on a 1 ton animal with equal training.
-
Two handers on horseback in bannerlord is op
-
“I better rearrange his head” and with my twisted sense of humour I immediately thought “you’ve been rearranging his head for a bit now”
-
Once I watched a horse trainer in Texas run through a pretty impressive reigning sequence with his horse. When he stopped, he leaned forward, removed the horse’s bridle, threw it on the ground, and ran through another “reigning” sequence, sans bridle. So yes, I have no doubt you could easily use a two-handed weapon on a well-trained horse. 🙂
-
Warlord is such a steady boy. It’s brilliant to see this being done practically instead of a theory. Best way to see if you’re right or not in how they did it
-
"Context"I would say is a well trained horse and an experienced rider.Otherwise it would be a mess.
-
The way him and that horse work together reminds me of a centaur. It's like they're connected.
-
That crow's beak looks absolutely devastating
-
14:28 "you'd probably want to drop the two handed weapon..." No, no, no, no Jason..... you don't "drop" a two handed weapon. It magically sticks to your back while you switch to your one handed weapon. Automatically.
-
Horse archers used a different setup of stirrups, that made controlling the horse with your body movements a bit easier. Wonder if something similar was practiced in western Europe, which would make sense for two handed combat or maybe even sword and shield.
