Todd Sullivan, and his student Patrick Vida, from the Lake Ontario Fechtschule, a historical fencing school of the medieval fighting arts, provided The Age of Heroes members training in the use of the longsword. Using the surviving treatises of the ancient German weapon masters, the Lake Ontario Fechtschule studies the German fighting arts of the 14th and 15th centuries. These studies include the use of long sword, pole arms, dagger, spear, lance on foot, and sword and buckler. See the photos at www.theageofheroes.com.
Ratings Explanation
The following components make up a rating:
Ratings. The ratings that users enter
into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of
between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.
Reviews. Each review is averaged into the
final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they
also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.
Content. The average rating of each
content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into
the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight
divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only
appears in a fraction of editions.
Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight
of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of
the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're
better rated.
