Lol
i'd call that smart, not cowardly,
what kind of idiot would intentionally add risk to their combat life?
they forgot the chinese created gunpowder....
they forgot to add that those "whites" who invaded were smart enough to A) bring a gun to a knife fight and B) band together and stop fighting their neighbors 24/7
if you are going to insult someone, make sure you don't unintentionally insult your self with implied meaning
and C) bribe tribes to capture other tribesmen
Brains vs brawn eh?
thats always a thing people forget
"how dare you buy slaves"
like yeah, thats bad enough.... but who sold them? Thats worse. OH that's right **their often black neighbors**
you mean, pretty much all black neighbours.
Eh what can I say, people figured out how to monetize victimhood.
Thats genius really.
Cant find the battle, but thats how guns vs spears went
"These horrible people, no honor, no bravery. This is why we are better"
....really? you are better? thats why you are living in huts, starving, and killing your next door neighbors? BEFORE the white man even got there? Maybe instead of bitching about being behind and its unfair, how about you get clever and beat them at their own system. You know, like feudal japan did after we borderline forced them out of seclusion.
Eh man, if you got nothing going for you.
or just bitch about asians being OP i guess
"we support all minorities.... except Asians, they make us look bad"
@GingaBomber this is a better example for Guns vs Melee :P

But... Musket lines
And sexy british uniforms
bit of a one-sided fight that 1h clip is 😛
Eh, so was the war
Well, zulus lost almost 7k vs 2k europeans.
Then again, might have a point, europeans would retreat earlier.
Still thoguh balance wise, sure, you have cannons, and musketlines, but youd encounter waves of a 100 at once. They will drop like flies, but once they get close, your firing line is screwed.
true, though in most cases they wouldn't all just stand undefended they'd have ways to keep the people on distance
walls, dem spike barriers, pits etc
Im talking the game tho.
IRL, well, they had volley fire formation.
Had some fortified positions that funneled the zulus.
yeah
I like the volley fire formation. Pike and shot period to shot and bayonet period has to be my fourth favourite moment in war
When it comes to war history
Worst thing to hear in this mod? Your commander yelling "affix bayonets"
haha
Well, cause spears are actually better than bayonets. In close range. Rifles wernt long enough to be used as conventional spears that time.
I mean whys that?
for the non-spear people i'd imagine?
