Though, I think the main point is that many Europeans had centralized, organized states at this point; Aztecs were city states that continuously fought.

tbf that progress wasnt linear @Otto

@Enkrum horses

Hell, Mayans went down because of that as well as megadrought from deforestation.

Ancient American civilizations didnt have work animals

Nor did they have the wheel.

They did lol

yeh aztecs do have a proud culture but its not really a position to critique anglo artisans from tbh

They just didnt have use for it

The only reason why nigs had anything at all is bc some white guy felt bad and told them how to make advanced mud huts 20,000 years ago

The Andeans exclusively used it for children’s toys.

*wow I wonder why*

*not like they lived in literal mountain sides*

he tried telling them about the wheel but they killed him for witchcraft

lol

“no whitey you smooth shape turn good without magic, you must made deal with devil oooga booga”

@Asdrubal Do you recall that story of the establishment of the Aztecs.

Where this neighboring King dispatched his daughter to the Aztecs, apparently to be worshipped by them.

And they ended up flaying her and a priest danced with her skin.

nigs kill lone survivors of accidents for making a deal with the devil to survive

i mean, its adequate against stone and clubs but its not some crazy shit tbh

helmets kinda funky

@Spergerger it reflects doctrine

fair enuf

The developed armor based the idea that their enemies weapons were sharp and fragile

But it was still effective

Could deflect arrows even

Conquistadors even adapted them as their campaigns went on

japs, euros and arabs appear to have the coolest armor

European armor is so impractical for an army

Every armed force moved to develop lighter or abandon armor

As mass formations became more popular

knights could move pretty quick actually
its a big misconception

It not the idea of speed but logistics

You are limiting yourself with full body armor

tbf the jap armor isnt fair comparison because that one was before they developed breastplate
this is accurate coomparison

lol coomparison

They made foldable armor lol
