Warriors Way

Famous for riding on horseback, the Mongols dominated Europe and Asia. The vicious Asian Horse Warriors used brute savagery to conquer more territory during the 13th century than any other empire in history. The Mongols' mission was to "conquer everything; dominate everything in our path; destroy everything in our path."

Their religion was about war, their unorthodox weapon of choice was a battle-axe and their brutal tactics terrorized Europe. The Viking warriors were strong, tough and ruthless destroying everything in their paths. With their home-made clothing and weapons, they would rely on their quick and ferocious strategies to ensure success, giving them a fearsome reputation throughout Europe.

The Scottish Highlanders rank as one of the world's greatest military legends, from their origins in ancient Celtic society through the glory days of battles both for and against the English. Not even the great might of the Roman Empire was able to reach the heart of the Highlanders' territory.

Well-known for their ferocity, the Celtic population once dominated most of Europe. Their tribal society was based in a multitude of small settle- ments of extended families and clans who were based within their particular territorial confines. Run by powerful noble chieftains, they were an ideal ground for thriving at war. Conflict and war were daily occurrences.

Of all the greatest ancient WARRIORS, the Romans were perhaps the most pragmatic. The Roman legions were the backbone of the Roman army and typically composed of up to 5,400 soldiers. They wore heavy armor and shields modeled after the ancient Greeks. They were masters of the sword and spear and were comprised of the wealthiest soldiers that could afford to make the best weapons and armor.

The Medieval period of history was extremely violent. Lands were regularly invaded leading to wars, battles and siege situations. This was the period of the Norman conquest and the battle of Hastings in England. Warfare strategy, tactics, and weapons technology were transforming to reflect these new battle situations. Medieval Weapons were used by the religious knights who fought in the Crusades.
