Secondly, if the samurai would have access to his horse, the Viking would have been creamed Post by quelareine » Thu May 07, pm cool post! Post by Mark » Fri May 08, pm Great post. Thanks for sharing.

Post by caramel » Sun May 10, am This is a very nice game.
This is the game that I always see in the Internet Shop. I haven't played it though but I am planning to try it. Simulation pret immobilier.

Max Geiger mentions that he often must calibrate different variables and input special algorithms. This is because the software was most likely designed only for modern warfare.
If someone is shot in a specific place on the body with a certain caliber of ammunition from a given distance, we can tell almost precisely what that wound will be like. Using melee and special weapons from days past, it will be inaccurate due to the lack of understanding of what those weapons will do.
Naturally, the computer can calculate numbers; not specific the level of martial arts training or environmental immunity a person may or may not have. It might be able to compute a person's agility or reflexes, but only to some extent.
What is this program definitely good? Input the number of people, their armor, their guns and ammo, advantages and disadvantages, and the physics calculations for all of those previous stats and I am positive the computer can say how accurately the battle will turn out. People can debate because of the soldiers emotions and training and various other factors, but I'm sure the program was only created to simulate as accurately as possible the outcome of the battle.
Kudus to Slitherine. Post by robhiengler » Tue May 26, pm So the conclusion is this software is the biggest bunch of BS and Max Greiger if thats even his real name seriously the guy is a random actor picked for the part because the targeted demographic thinks thats what a computer geek looks like - I seriously doubt this guy went to community college let alone MIT.
Just try and listen to the amount of BS that he comes up with just reminds me of the fat jewish kid off Superbad. The hosts then figure out which of the two weapons were more effective or better than the other.
Finally after the four weapons were shown for each warrior, a simulation is shown and a winner is decided.
Additionally pressure mats, accelerometers, chronometers, and other measuring tools are used to test such figures as the striking force and speed of each weapon. All of the weapon tests are recorded with high-speed photography, and the results are fed into a computer that measures the damage each weapon is capable of inflicting.

The show has an interesting and unique concept, pitting warriors from various periods of history against each other in combat when they never would have had a chance to meet in real life. Unfortunately the most anticipated meetup of Pirates Vs Ninjas was nowhere to be seen,although there is always hope for season 2.
Mostly the show is an excuse to test weapons and destroy things which is harmless fun, as well as being a bit educational. The reason for testing the various weapons, and recording their various characteristics is to feed them into an advanced computer simulation which took five years to develop. This immediately held my interest and I was interested to find out more about it.
I was also curious when in one episode Max talked about having to add new aspects to the code to deal with a particular weapon. This must be quite a flexible simulation if it supported adding modules on the fly to deal with new combat scenarios.
After searching to try and find out more about this advanced computer simulation, I came across this blog by Martial Development. The article reveals that The Deadliest Warriors advanced computer simulation five years in the making is nothing more than a slightly tweaked version of the PC game Great Battles of Rome.
It certainly was not designed with complex battle simulations in mind, is in no way advanced for the tasks it is being applied to and five years in development comes to mean that it was patched occasionally. This is quite disappointing. I do disagree with a fundamental point made in the Martial Development article, which argues that running a simulation times is unnecessary and an advanced simulation should get it correct the first time.
I disagree with this because chance plays a large part in every combat situation, more so depending on the weapons and warriors competing.
It would be necessary to run a simulation more than once to eliminate the possibility of unusual luck and obtain a more accurate average.
Getting back to the show however…it is an interesting concept. It is interesting and entertaining to see just what these weapons from history can do and just how much damage they would do to a human being. So why all the misdirection regarding their advanced computer simulation five years in the making, and why make it the focal point of the show? People were going to find out it was nothing more than a subpar game sooner or later…why not be honest with this information from the start? The concept and results are still interesting and entertaining and it would seem nothing would be lost by just being honest.
Instead we have a 21 year old doing data entry posing as an advanced programmer with special access to an extremely advanced battle simulation. Why is the guy doing the data entry one of the judges?
I get the Doctor being a judge, and the guy with a biomedical background…. None of these guys seem to have a great understanding of martial arts, but at least two of them have an excellent understanding of the human body. Comment by Thrand — April 1, am.

They pulled sneak attacks on families and inspired fear, but so did the mongols. Except they managed to conquer a large area of land, not just steal from innocent people they did that too. To me they are no better than modern gangbangers ruining life for good people trying to live a good life. Lets steal rape and kill instead of actually building a prominent civilization.
I like viking culture but lets remembers they were murderous people. At least Samurai had a sense of honor. Comment by Rico — April 28, am.
