we are just listening to tunes rooood

I saw a clip of somebody in Unity firing catapults. And I literally mean, he was throwing catapults at a castle. So, why not?

I don’t know, I think a live flailing animal would be a little non-aerodynamic

Oh, pfft. The laws of physics are *so* last decade.

So are the laws of yur mom

Ooof.

Dork jokes, i dig it

Well, technically, you're right. I don't live at home anymore.

The Medieval Period consisted of a bunch of knights bashing each other.

I’m here all night

Anyone in the chat smoke homestuck?

Then getting tired and giving up.

From what ive learned in the warefare class, Knight is actually a misnomer... A better term would be the “European heavy horseman”, accurate but not very sexy

@🔥 Fire_Owl_745 🔥 and I just got outta the range. Great day

Different types of knights

You mean, English Samurai?

Cavalry was fairly common, knights are good shock troops OR good ground units

Funny story in a lot of conflicts only the knights would survive, so when you'd capture them, you'd sell them back, it was a sign of respect not to kill a knight and not treat him poorly in captivity.

Neat

Knights are worth a shot ton of money.

There's also chivalric warfare. Another knight touches your knee? Universal sign of surrender, can't kill him. @Deleted User

Yup.

Shit was surprisingly unbarbaric.

Cavalry became more common because the people that were creating the “discourse “were usually family members of the Calvalry, since knights and the educated beurocrats were both younger sons of lords , and it was in good form to hype up your brothers accomplishments on the battlefield, hype up your family name. This also shifted focus away from arming /training the infantry of your armies, for fear that if you taught your infantry how to kill enemy knights, they might eventually try to kill you when the when the peasant infantry got upset at your mistreatment of them. So what happened was a sort of arms race, with each sides knights continuing to bulk up themselves, the size of the horses, and their combined armor in order to attack other knights, since infantry couldnt be allowed to, while the infantry was able to fight other infantry because they both sucked equally

It's mainly a surrender out of self-interest though. Because the ransom you'd get out of a knight, who was basically guaranteed to be a landowner, would have probably been very healthy.

I realize that is a sort of long paragraph, but we just talked about it in class and I found it real interesting

Yeah and rich lol.

Eh Rich is relative

Like, a landowning knight is probably gonna be well off, but there's a chance he's like... a boonies knight. Not as well off as most others, you know?

That's fair.

Knights actually weren’t likely to inherit, because they were second or third sons. Most of the times the first son got everything, and your second or third son was sent to your neighboring lords household to be a knight in his retinue (strengthening ties between the two lord ships), or you sent him to the church to get educated. If a knight Got land, it would be gifted from the Lord his father sent him to, not from his father

Just painted my room :~}

Well there's many kinds of estates.

Like

It's not unrealistic that a knight would become owner of a farm because the previous owner died with no heirs and it defaulted back to the local feudal lord, and the lord would rather give it to the knight than take responsibility for it.
