A properly trained Knight could do one handed pushups in Armor.

Though I think the "Armor is super heavy" developed from the the fact that its weight was a serious disadvantage (Wrestling a platemailed Knight to the ground should be a lot easier then someone with ligher armor) and the fact that people who weren't trained (such as when Platemail was worn as a status symbol) could actually fall down and be incapable of getting back up.

Also as for Samurai, to my knowledge the only thing commonly armored is Helmets which knights had to train to break because it is very likely for them to actually have their weapons break on it.

Here's the problem - they did it 1 on 1. If you had true numbers it'd be like 500 vikings and 4 samurai.

-You also kill everyone, dammit, they even killed priests for having different religion.

How is that a bad thing? (the killing everyone part)

And they didn't kill priests for having a different religion. They killed priests because they were in the same place as the loot.

Everyone is going to hate you if you kill everyone

[Cthulhu]

Yeah, but they're all dead.  Who cares what they think?

[Phantom]

OK, think something, if a bunch of soldiers went to your city and genocided everyone, how would you feel.

[DJ]

You wouldn't feel at all.

[Cthulhu]

Seriously, that's the fun of being dead.

[Sensei]

When they say 'kill everyone'... they mean all of the foreigners/infidels (who were usually portrayed to the public as baby-eating demon worshipers).

All 4 of which would immediately commit seppuku rather than face the shame of fighting 500 drunk blonde guys and losing.

I am pretty sure the propaganda was just as bad on the other side as well.

Bad move massacreing the People's Brigade... even if they were pillaging quite a bit.

The point is that you think Vikings are worse fighters because they kill everyone including priests.

your logic?

They don't really factor in skill as much as you would think or general health.

The Populace is never on their side, which means they have more to kill.

[Kagus]

Dude, don't diss my Nordic ancestral tradition of slaying religious officials.  It's a time-honored and respected part of my family.

We have of course refined ourselves over the generations...   I mean, nobody goes around stabbing bishops anymore (except uncle Lars, but he took the wrong mushrooms).  Nowadays we just slaughter their arguments.

The Populace is never on their side, which means they have more to kill.

 Except traders and merchants who grew wealthy off of their goods, and inland cities who grew because of their trade, and the cultural advances as their riches compelled traders to travel across many different cultures.
