You would've been average height or above in most civilizations before gunpowder.
Most of them. Small wiry mentalists are the mainstay of any military force, just as much as big brawny ox-men are. It's basically a meme at this point.
Probly in ones utilizing siege-tunnelers
You could be a spy disguised as a child.

Oh you...
>implying gunpowder made humans taller
>Implying a gun doesn't take away any distinct physical advantage

>hunting game is easier
>diet suddenly becones more than wheat
You'd be slightly above average in Ancient Egypt during the Ramses I era.
I'd reckon almost anywhere else the figures are similar.
if you're not a fag and have some muscles you could be in every fucking army of this fucking planet fag go train and stop complaining about your height
Manlets are/were traditionally employed as turret operators, submariners and tank crews.
Also, being tiny and able to sprint gives you a marginal edge over large dudes, who are more likely to be shredded by small arms fire.
All civilizations before the 19th century
169 cm was above average in all ancient civilizations
>go train and stop complaining about your height
I already do.
thankyou for the hearty kek friend
Shame what happened to it, really.
People in Middle Ages were shorter than people in the Ancient Era.
>he doesn't take his daily gunpowder
When will they learn?
All of them.
lol
lol.
I am 6'3 and somewhat built from weight training and rowing.
Would I be fucked in combat? (ie. vanguard)
Almost all the forest was gone and only nobles were allowed to hunt in what was left hundreds of years before guns were invented
How so?
It's common knowledge that serfs and peasants had far better diets than their ancient era predecessor and their renaissance successors.
Assuming that you're cute, then in my twink army.
>tfw 170cm but muscular, hairy and generally masculine
Early middle ages and post-bubonic plague, yes.
The rapidly increasing population in the high middle ages led to a much more grain based diet as pasture and forests were converted to arable land to keep up with rising population.
That's interesting.
Was inflation a huge problem too in the late middle ages due to the rising population?
That's good then.
We're all going to make it!
You could try with him.
He couldn't be a Ghurka
You could be a grenadier.
You're probably still fucked but at least you'd be kept away from manlets.
yeah I often refer to myself as a dwarf warrior when describing my physique
I think that was considered tall or at least average for most of history.
