Was Agmar a kingdom of men or were the Witch King’s forces mainly orcs and the like?

I know Rhudaur ended up as a vassal kingdom to Agmar but what of Agmar itself? Was it made up of the same Hill-men that took power in Rhudaur? If so what was it like for them there?

What if Frederick Barbarossa made it to the Third Crusade instead of dying on the way?

Saladin was apparently so concerned about Frederick showing up that he diverted forces from the Siege of Acre to try and stop him, but his death caused much of his army to desert the crusade and disease caused it to wither further until roughly a third of it remained.

But what if instead Barbarossa didn’t drown and managed to enter the Holy Land with his army intact? Do you think his presence (and by extension his army’s presence) would help the crusade do better or would Saladin still win in the end?

When did armies stop establishing winter quarters to rest through winter?

Up until fairly modern times it was unusual or even unthinkable that an army would operate during the winter months in Europe, Asia and America, but it seem sometime during the World Wars era this practice largely stopped in favor of armies operating year round despite the winter clearly still being a major obstacle, especially in WW2 and the Korean War.

Is it just a question of technology getting better or is there something else to it?

Got a global ban and I have no idea why.

I played for the first time in a while today and didn’t have any third party stuff open at all. I was just playing the game normally when I got kicked out of the server and got a message that I was globally banned for cheating.

I have no idea what I was doing to trigger the anti-cheat, I wasn’t even playing that well.

I filed an appeal to get unbanned but I don’t even know how to prove I didn’t cheat when I don’t know what they think I did.

Other conversations I saw regarding this online don’t give me a lot of hope of being unbanned. Am I likely just SOL?

Basically the title, I’ve noticed that when pirates from this time period are portrayed they tend to either not address the subject of the slave trade or portray the pirates as opposed to the slave trade and refuse to participate in carrying slaves as cargo, even at times going so far as to free slaves they come across while pirating.

Is this a truthful representation or part of modern day romanticism to make pirate protagonists of movies and video games look better than they realistically would be?
