historically spears were better
you have to consider period
no
spears are most effective and simplest of mele weapons on open field
if rapiers are a thing
so are pistols
they were more used because much easier to manufacture/train in
and he can sidearm murder you
Indeed
how do u see halberd takaing on spear
if you want to take function with aesthetic tho
go ahead explain ur reasoning
what is each person wearing
a cuirassier i think
where are they fighting
how many people are there
is the height of the gunpowder era aesthetic
But, I'm a celt. So if I'm fighting, chances are I'm going to get shot
would recommend a sidesword or back sword because they are suited for battle
its functional yet looks cool
@Tato The moment humans discovered polearms, spears were discarded in favor of them. The only reasons to use a spear above a polearm is 1. spears were super cheap to manufacture and 2. spears were easier to use.
or even broadsword
a spear is a polearm tho...
the moment polearms became thing ppl aready wore full plate armor
Details
Yes
this kid is retarded
people fight with staves too lel
confirmed
Specifically because people wore plate armor, in fact
mm I want one
tato is straight nig
@Tato pikes were used en masse by the armies of Aleksandr
back when people wore maybe
greaves and shin guards
pikes were used in byzantine army too
and a big shield
for armour
pikes were common in medieval and renaissance armies
theyre shit weapons
