I'm 169 cm. In what civilisations I could have been a good soldier with my stature? (before the gun invention).
>>1705136
the ancient kingdom of manletia
>>1705136
You would've been average height or above in most civilizations before gunpowder.
>>1705136
Most of them. Small wiry mentalists are the mainstay of any military force, just as much as big brawny ox-men are. It's basically a meme at this point.
>>1705136
Probly in ones utilizing siege-tunnelers
You could be a spy disguised as a child.

You'd be slightly above average in Ancient Egypt during the Ramses I era.
I'd reckon almost anywhere else the figures are similar.
>>1705136
if you're not a fag and have some muscles you could be in every fucking army of this fucking planet fag go train and stop complaining about your height
>>1705136
Manlets are/were traditionally employed as turret operators, submariners and tank crews.
Also, being tiny and able to sprint gives you a marginal edge over large dudes, who are more likely to be shredded by small arms fire.
>>1705136
All civilizations before the 19th century
>>1705382
169 cm was above average in all ancient civilizations
>>1705373
>go train and stop complaining about your height

>>1705145
Shame what happened to it, really.
People in Middle Ages were shorter than people in the Ancient Era.

When will they learn?
>>1705136
All of them.

>>1705564
lol.
I am 6'3 and somewhat built from weight training and rowing.
Would I be fucked in combat? (ie. vanguard)
>>1705354
Almost all the forest was gone and only nobles were allowed to hunt in what was left hundreds of years before guns were invented
>>1705564
How so?
It's common knowledge that serfs and peasants had far better diets than their ancient era predecessor and their renaissance successors.
Assuming that you're cute, then in my twink army.

>tfw 170cm but muscular, hairy and generally masculine
>>1705793
Early middle ages and post-bubonic plague, yes.
The rapidly increasing population in the high middle ages led to a much more grain based diet as pasture and forests were converted to arable land to keep up with rising population.
>>1705844
That's interesting.
Was inflation a huge problem too in the late middle ages due to the rising population?
>>1705839
That's good then.
We're all going to make it!
>>1705839
You could try with him.
>>1705373
He couldn't be a Ghurka
>>1705786
You could be a grenadier.
You're probably still fucked but at least you'd be kept away from manlets.
>>1705887
yeah I often refer to myself as a dwarf warrior when describing my physique
>>1705136
I think that was considered tall or at least average for most of history.
