Were the Māori stronger than the Berserkers?
>>18493681300 Viking berserkers vs 300 Maori warriors, who wins?
>>18493685Not fair since Vikings were using steel and iron while Maoris were using stone and wood.
>>18493681The average Maori was stronger than the average viking, but the strongest berserker would beat the strongest Maori warrior.
>>18493691Depending on where on Earth the battle is fought, wooden weapons could be an advantage. If they're fighting in the tropics, then the Vikings have to carry heavy steel and iron weapons and armor in scorching heat. Are they fighting on sandy ground? Heavy-laden vikings would sink into the sand, needing more energy just to walk.
>>18493681Non-white people have scary bug eyes.
>>18493722The crusades were pretty hot and sandy. I didn't see any side ditching their weapons or armor for caveman weapons.
>>18493681Vikings because they have better weapons and armor.
>>18493681Maori are clowns they're not even indigenous
>>18494357tThey are though>b-but this infograph i saw on /pol/ told me these moriori were the real indigenous peepo of NZ!No, the Moriori are indigenous to only the Chatham Archipelago and scholars generally agree they themselves are an offshoot of the Maori
>>18494468Uh huh, and everyone in the Carribean are Tainos too, huh? Dumb nigger.
>>18494468I dont think you realize humans crossed the wallace line before the pacific covered most of former Sunda.
>>18493874the sarazens were far lighter armored and the whole point of a berserker is that he is naked or at least unarmored. but in general of course the parameters matter. are they marching to a battle, where is the battle, or do we just teleport them to a battlefield? I assume maori are also more differentiated as warriors, where berserker are a specific kind of viking and especially not the kind that organizes well on a battlefield. Vikings vs Maori I would give the advantage to Vikings, Berserkers vs Maori I think the Maori have an edge, despite steel swords
>>18493691Depends on whenMaori modernized a lot, Musket War era Maori (or the ones rebelling against British rule for that matter) would wipe the floor with vikings
>>18494582I think you will find musket era Danes and Swedes to be quite formidable.
>>18493681Māori are overrated by Brit’s who exaggerate the prowess of everyone they conquer. Did the same with the Zulus and Boers too
>>18494582>if we just pit these guys with 900 years of technological advancements against medieval warriors, they can winnot helping your case
>>18494668>everyone they conquer*who put up a notable fight
>>18494696New Zealand was uninhabited during the actual viking age though?when I think Maori warfare I mostly think 19th century desu
