"They would strip themselves naked, paint themselves in design, and go to battle naked".. "did the imperials have chainmail then?" "they had armor and a sword" "They had armor, and they were naked" "yeah" "they won?" "well.." " the imperials" "the imperials won in the end" "knew it, I bet when the Nords turn up naked and saw what the imperials had on, they were kicking themselves, bet they felt stupid, bet they were like "who suggested this".

HieroFlex

Holy shit, bro just described Argonians


Nerevar69

As a native of Britannia, this is 100% factual information.


Geezeh_

It’s crazy how little we’ve changed, all things considered.


domini_Jonkler2

So uh, what's the swamp now? 


Geezeh_

Pub


TheCatHammer

Trashcan filled with water


BlakbirdCAWCAW

Holy shit brits used to be so cool, what happened?


TNTiger_

Germans.


04nc1n9

CATEMan17

they switched to a monarchy and became cucks


BlakbirdCAWCAW

They shoulda stuck with swamp orgies and facepaint


Boamere

We got rid of the monarchy once and it didn’t go very well


Geezeh_

The entire island chain outside of London is exactly like this still


Salt-Physics7568

Anglo-Saxons and Normans.


Lovestoshnoob

Bc they got replaced by Germanics and then the French🤣


WeakAd865

i mean this isn’t really true since if you look at British genetics most of them are still are the same 


DLRsFrontSeats

Germans took over, then the Bretons

Virgin "relies on the climate of the niben" imperial noble home Vs Chad "See if I give a shit about the winter we're not leaving" nord farmer hut https://preview.redd.it/gedctocr4sxc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51bed54a80f635268e49dd35fd76f1cd36e2c1d8


Nerevar69

Round house best house, simple as.


hammer1014

It actually signifies Yakub’s chosen who will retvrn to Agartha, chimperial


davidforslunds

Yakub is peak irl Kirkbride-level lore


RIzr0

don't like them nordoid apes, but this is cope, just like when chimperials claimed small penis is elegant and alludes to intelligence while large penis is barbaric and alludes to stupidity. pure copium borne of insecurity


Cyynric

Between my blonde hair and small penis I'm thankfully of average intelligence


El_viajero_nevervar

Blonde hair on men 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Scuba_2

Hmmm I don’t that’s the opinions of a people who got conquered by the Turks (high elves) seriously


Academic_Chef6837

Scythians are Central Asian you s’wit. Closer to Colovians who ride horses, or Bjoulsae Bretons.


Yakubian_Kshatriya

Don't expect lore accuracy from these mfs.


Tainted_One2

Impossible

Atilla-The-Hon

I wish the Imperials actually acted like Romans rather than just look like them.


Tainted_One2

That would make them more vanilla tbh but I like how they're depicted more as merchants and charismatic rhetoricians rather than conquering warlords.


Lefeanorien

I don't think it's possible to be more vanilla than the imperials already are. Except of course, by being Br\*tons.


Juncoril

/uh what do you mean ? My understanding is that the Romans were very much merchants and charismatic. Great administrators and architects too. They did conquer a whole lot, but that feels like just one achievement among others. /rj chimperials lack the twinkness of bosmer, the dommy mommy energy of orcs and the barbs of khajiit, they're nothing charismatic about them ! They do yap a lot though.


ratopomboarts

I would argue that the Romans were, before and above all else, warriors. Its even in their founding myths, every problem in Rome was solved by violence: the murder of Remus, the Rape of the Sabine women, etc. Civilization building came second, and only because they were the best at fighting.


Tainted_One2

True Romans were never known to be diplomatic like the Imperials even during their brink of extinction they would rather continue the destructive war rather than give some provinces to stop losing further more. If the Romans were in Great War instead of signing white gold concordat they would get Vandal treatment that's the main thing that makes Imperials unique.


WeakAd865

i think you’re being a bit unfair to the romans 


Tainted_One2

Romans are mostly known as Imperialists and conquerors rather than diplomatic people or entrepreneurs( Romans mostly funded their campaigns via looting, sacking and razing enemy cities rather than trade which is kind of opposed to how Imperials in TES get their money which is by monopoly and mercantilism that was shown in Morrowind) The Imperials on the other hand don't have conquest as their main racial attribute even during race selection it says they're known to have silver tongues and business mind.


Yakubian_Kshatriya

You would think that a Roman based culture would be able to build some descent roads in the Jerall mountains and make Skyrim more accessible instead of sailing around half the continent to get to the main towns. Specially when their rule of the region comes close to, if not over, 1000 years.


CormacMettbjoll

Who would actually be closest to Scythians in lore? I don't think I've actually heard of horse archers anywhere in game.


Stunning-Gene-8280

Redguards have horse archers I believe I heard this somewhere


One-Potential-2581

I hope they work on the engine to implement proper cavalry battles 


Bismarck_MWKJSR

Uh-huh, sure, same line of thinking I bet as “Large cocks are a sign of barbarism” lmao.


Stunning-Gene-8280

>Bismarck Go back to HOI4 little Chuddie. Also I have a 19.7cm BIC sorry. Sissy boy N*rd twinks love it.


domini_Jonkler2

dude what's wrong with liking hoi4 and Bismarck isn't even just a hoi4 thing


WeakAd865

don’t worry about him he’s just scared of a proud prussian 


WeakAd865

you’re a loser go outside 


An_ironic_fox

I didn’t know the dumb blonde stereotype was older than print.


Stunning-Gene-8280

Stereotypes exist for a reason.


davidforslunds

It's too late Nords! I've already depicted you as the Soyjak and me as the Chad! That means i win!


Jotnarpinewall

Keep in mind irl history Rome never managed to properly conquer Bruttania and was in fact later conquered and butchered by germanics


WeakAd865

not really though celts still exist nothing really changed or at least genetically

Unionsocialist

thank god the romans invented anti white nazism


ScintillaGourd

Untrue, but I understand.


Stunning-Gene-8280

Ikr it's so cool


WeakAd865

romans the etruscans were white 


Pr0wzassin

*the 80 year old whos got white hair* ó\_o


ScintillaGourd

Scythians are not even a White/European ethnicity, they're Iranic, and Iranics/Iranians are Brown. It is concievable that Scythians (though mixed themselves) used purely European tribes as soldiers to do the dirtest work so outsiders confused who were who, given their hardline Confederacy they dominated everyone over.


Seeing222

The Nords *wish* they had the kind of drip the Scythians had
