what spawned this meme? Norse weren't a fucking warrior culture and they were so garbage at fighting they couldn't deal with monastery levies in Ireland.

Eternal Anglo got rekt by a crippled Norseman, so they portray them as fearsome warriors to make it seem less embarrassing than it actually is.

What I don't get is why the prolific trading aspect is never represented for them. That's what they were best at in their time, not raiding the coasts.

I bet it's Conan's fault.

He's the earliest written account of modern fantasy I can think about that combines "north", "barbarian" and "good warrior".

Now add to the fact that fantasy wrights are creatively decrepit and just regurgitate the same concepts but utterly fail to give them depth, repeat that process a few times and you end up with what you described.

Conan is based on Cetls.

Standing and fighting honorably does not inherently make you a great fighter. Coming in like lightning, going around rather than being stopped by hard targets like fortresses, seizing your objectives and then moving on before you can be crushed; that is a perfectly viable path towards greatness as a fighting force.

Viking knock offs/'northern warriors' are the shittiest, most entry tier fantasy culture, especially since Skyrim and Game of Thrones released the idea to the masses.
>>
>>48239283
>>they are great fighters

How is that a meme? It's not like it was taken out of thin air.

The Danes conquered significant parts of England, The Swedes and Norwegians that settled in Scotland were famous as mercenaries, and norsemen made up the Varangian guard of the Byzantine emperors after norse mercenaries played a big part in some important battle or whatever.

Most viking raids were made by a small number of people so of course they're not gonna win every time and of course they're gonna focus on easy targets and unfair fights, that's just common sense.

But there are also numerous accounts of them being competent warriors in standup fights.
>>
>>48239903
I knew someone will mention Varangian Guard that also had Saxons, Russians and most importantly - got rekt by turkroaches. Such viking warriors.

Also conquering a part of some country then getting decked is hardly impressive if niggers or slavs did the same everyone would call them barbarian failures but since it's scandinavians everyone dickrides for no reason then apparently losing majority of battles is amazing.

Maybe the reason people focus on the martial virtues of the individual viking warrior is because there's nothing else to explain thier culture's successes military? They weren't hugely technologically advanced compared to their rivals, their military tactics weren't all that different to their rivals and they didn't have much manpower to draw on coming from such an inhospitable part of the world. The only thing they had going for them was being good at fighting.

Celts, or what counts for "celts" in fantasy terms, is still a people living in the northern parts of not-europe. In fact they're probably the main reason we have naked people in cold environments running around taking heads as they please in modern fantasy, because historical accounts of picts being naked are always drawn up first when people spew "muh badass noble savage" memes.

>>
>>48240264
I acknowledge that. But he's not anatolian, which is what >>48240074 tried to make me believe.

It doesn't change the fact that Conan is, technically speaking, from a "northern" country, and he's the epitome of the gud fightan brbrian character. As I said, people probably only took that vague description of his character and applied it badly to their own works, who in turn would be copied by other fantasy wrights and so on. Eventually, that fantasy writing seeped into the popcultural perception of historical people, which is probably where the big shift happened and why scandies get credited as superior fighters, because "comes from the north" has been drawn to its extreme.

because this is /tg/

not many RPGs feature 10,000 vs 10,000 battles. what they regularly feature is 4 vs 4 or even 1 vs 1. on some level that's a gameplay thing, but on top of that, most games are placed firmly in the genre of heroic fiction, and one of the principle features of the genre is the importance of great individuals with the willpower and skill to change the world. stuff like logistics, grand strategy and sheer quantity - not so much.

so the genre is naturally attracted to cultures that have a reputation for fierce warriors who fought for individual glory, and less interested in cultures which had disciplined soldiers who fought as cogs in a well-oiled machine, even if the latter were typically more successful in real life.

Also, pre-gunpowder wars (or pre-Napoleon, really) had you sometimes winning or losing a war in a single battle.

That's not really possible these days due to the massive armies we have and thus the staying power - Napoleon bragging about losing thirty thousand men a month like it ain't no thang, for instance.

Even wargaming is on such a small scale (compared to historical battles) that it's about particularly cool or elite regiments.

The Punic Wars (although the 2nd is the interesting one). The Gallic Wars. The Roman-Spartan war (aka the War against Nabis).

Really, the Romans lasted for so long that they hold the record for battles won simply because they fought more battles than anybody else.

>Norse weren't a fucking warrior culture
for example they had a religion that made them believe they would go to Valhalla if they died in battle. Every man was expected to be armed at all times. When you read their sagas, they story usually revolves around battles, duels, fighting in general. Oh yeah, they also went out and raided a bunch of places. Hmm, sounds a bit like a warrior culture to me.

>couldn't deal with monastery levies in Ireland.
oh of course, youre on of those butthurt britshits who cling on to the fact that vikings werent perfect or invincible. You win some, you lose some. Generally speaking their raids were a huge feat. Just the logistics of organizing it, going to the british isles and ruling it etc. was really something.

Yes. They were. Just take a look at the pantheon and you'll see that.

Normandy was given in a treaty, obvious ceding land away to the enemy is not a result of decisive, longterm victory.

There is not enough proof the definitively say Rurik was Finnish, this is typically the opinion of revisionist slavs, most people who reject the Normanist theory do not make a good case.

Wends are not exactly slavs as you put it, especially in regard to royal families, the wendish royal family at the time was fairly gothic if I remember correctly.

Well Celts did collect heads you could drink with your buddy and he would pull out some decapitated fucking head and tell you how he killed him.

Oh yes because vikings were so anti christian right? It's not like Sweyn Forkbeard built churches despite being a viking or anything. Face it dumb underage vikings weren't some fierce pagan warriors but opportunists who switched religions on the fly and attacked unarmed people.

>Game of Thrones Northmen
>Game of Thrones Wildlings
>Vikings
What in the fuck have you been reading? The Wildlings almost all specifically abhor the sea, and don't have anywhere near the sort of trade the Norse had. The Northmen are stoic, reserved, cannot into subtlety and actually think with the head on their shoulders unless muh honor comes into it.
Neither of those cultures are anything like the Scandinavians, unless you're getting pissy about the naming conventions and such, and if that's what your argument is based off of, reread the books.

Game of Thrones Ironborn are Vikings, or more particularly Balon was. Asha became a strong wymyn, and Victarion and Euron became anime.
>>
>>48244740
No.
Vikings are noble savages.
Vikings are aryan master race.
WE discovered america.
WE were the spanish empire (not current spain, they're niggers)
WE were anglos (not current anglos, they're mogrels and subhuman)
>>
>>48244868
The Ironborn are even more retarded being the only settled people ever to do deicide that farming was *eh* not for them.
>>
>>48239351
>Spaniards are anything but psychopaths that will murder anything that moves after or during raping it
Sounds like Russians.
>>
>>48244953
Yes, but people KNOW russians are that.

Everyone thinks the spanish are good and meek, lazy and partylovers.

What people forget is that they where one of the longest and most brutal empires for a reason. At any moment they'll wake up.

I never said they were, just that the impetus behind a lot of the /his/ counter-signal towards vikings is resentment at neo-pagans.

Anyone who tries to tell you any historical group of people (including romans) were good or bad fighters whole cloth belongs on the deadliest warrior forums.
>>
>>48245310

The best fighters were the ancient astronauts, though uninformed sceptics deny they were historical.
>>
>>48245173
They existed as a separate culture in Europe, which was filled with aggressively destructive expansionists.

That right there says they could fight well enough that expansionists couldn't destroy them and their culture quickly enough that they were not remembered historically, unlike dozens of other cultures absorbed by expansionist ones.

Mostly because they lived in a cold shithole. It's the same reason why Russia has never been conquered: it's a diseaseridden shithole that civilized peoples want to leave as fast as possible.

Easy on the Freud, friend

>>48245361
Does this mean that the japanese were also good fighters?
>>
>>48245394
No, they were an entirely isolationist group that had almost zero interactions with outside countries. they slaughtered the locals pretty well though.
>>
>>48245394
Easter islanders were clearly the #1 fighters of all time.
>>
>>48245394

Well the Jews don't fear the vikings or hussars.
>>
>>48245432
And the koreans, chinese and mongols. And samurai were pretty big as bodyguards or mercenaries in south-east asia.

It seems your theory is right, the japanese were pretty good fighters.
>>
>>48245383
Mongols conquered Russia.

Looking forward for it cause I don't think they will reach me anyway and I do love to see some chaos going on.

Logically speaking if you're a culture that lives in the jungle, and has lived in the jungle for many generations, you're likely to be naturally tan.

Fair skin vs. darker skin has a lot to do with geography.
>>
>>48245582
Even on land they were completely and utterly wrecked in their early contacts with Mongols. They couldn't grasp that war wasn't based on muh honor for them, so while they got absoluted anhililated they still thought their warfare was superior

Didn't Asha become a lesbian or something in the show?
>>
>>48244320
Man, I remember great filename of advertisement about Obelix becoming thin after pussy dietm should have saved it.
>>
>>48245806
yes and I'm still pissed about it. Asha in the books is an interesting look at a character who both clashes against and idolizes her native culture. She and her boyfriend role play rape because that is the lens by which her culture views sex. In the show DnD looked at her character and thought "huh a female character that acts masculine better make her a lesbian."

Knock off with the ass-mad shitposts already.

It was made an Austrian with a Spain fetish, or was made by a Hungarian I think.
