@juts kill nme Wish in one hand, shit in the other, then see which fills up first. <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>
against armour
curved swords are decent in areas where metal is hard to come by and the people arent smart enough to treat wood/leather properly
@Tato Whips have literally never been used as combat weapons my dude. Even thick clothing would be adequate protection against it, and controlling it even without an opponent trying to bash your face in wasn't exactly easy. So no, whips aren't real weapons.
in east it swords have always been curved cause not much armor
so the middle east and the balkan-ish areas
@Nahkasetä maybe like gladiators
When I can, I'll be making my own sword a claymore, but with one side of the guard trailing up higher. This is to use it swung from the shoulder, and not the elbow
@Kealor they didn't have armored units
um tato
@Nahkasetä whips have literally been used in georgia by nobles and know warriors
east has had plenty of armour
lol
the fucking persians were known
for their proto knights
As a large sword is dumb to use from the elbow
the clibinarii
he means chink east lu
actual east
chink east had shitty armour
but it was still hevy
i believe the persians actually did have less access to metals than most
the top tier meme units arent the bulk of an army after all
the persians were in a prime spot for trade
not everyone is wearing plate armour
@Tato In writing probably yeah, but they're so useless in actual combat that I'd be willing to take 5 free hits from a whip no problem before fighting back if I was in a duel
when people dont have metal armor is when curved swords become relevant
@Kealor scale armour
is the tradition
Fuck armor. Anything we make will just get shot through by a pistol
plate armour is late medieval
@Reprehensibletrash thats completely wrong tho
nahk leather whips yes but if u knot metal pieces in them theyre nutts
bullets are desceptively easy to stop
@Reprehensibletrash yeah why didnt people in the 1300 just use guns smh
Shush fednigger
riot shields are pretty light
considering how good they are
