hmm decent point, but i dont think that came up an awful lot historically, like gear/training sets for dedicated scouts (not spies)
@Lucienne d'Anwyl if its at a good angle you nigger
ill google a bit
sometimes
you swing
and it isnt that good
i mean
spies werent used that much
compared to scouts
reconaissance is like
top tier my dude
as for dedicated builds i dunno
i mean
i assume a bow
probably dirks
scouts probably just had a bow or a sword and clothes
see the thing is
maybe a gambeson
if you collapse a tree
you can kill him with your dirk
ez
gambeson and chain is what 80% of people had tbh
and a helmet
see the thing is
the helmet still helps you
because most niggers with hammers
wont always have perfect accuracy
yeah the internet seems to be of the mind that dedicated-scouts werent really a thing in medieval period
longbowman stood their ground at Agincourt and killed knights up close
and they may have a bad angle and swing somewhat on point
the other thing
just light infantry/cavalry given scout tasks using their same gear seems to me vastly more common
if a hammer has an armour piercing spike
it dont matter how good your armour is
youre getting fucking GANKED
so instead of a perpendicular crunch, its at a 170 degree angle and gets deflected
it does if you parry
yeah most hammers arent actually hammers lol
scouts where mostly light cavalry and skirmishers sent ahead of the army to look around
