That's a point I personally often forget, there was a hell of a lot more rugged landscape back then. Almost no major roads, certainly nothing smooth and straight, as well as a damn sight more trees, scrub and bramble. It would have been a rough and unpredictable journey going anywhere further than 100km from home. I imagine most people did not have any access to reliable maps which would have made navigation even more complicated. One would have to know and follow landmarks for the bulk of travelling to farther away places. Also like you said, different seasons would create different routes, especially in low laying areas or near waterways. Come to think of it, the waterways were likely the most common travel markers that people would use, aside from landscape variables and man made structures and developments.As far as roads are concerned, continuing on the communication bit, they pretty much never existed. I made that point before, that aside from the royal tracts there were maybe some dirt paths and those would often turn into right swamps during spring.
The reason why warpicks aren't mentioned is the fact that they tend to be very similar to war hammer, it's just that the focus is slightly different. And meh, they could get stuck, but they wouldn't always.dont forget warpicks, although generally unweildly, they can penetrate armor quite well, although one drawback would be that it would get stuck in the armor after use(if it hits the body underneath it could impede them imensely)
There are more videos to this? Because in that one, they only go into two weapons in detail; the Falchion and the Estoc, neither of which were effective. Also, I don't know of any spears that were fully metal, I imagine that would have been quite expensive due to the length of metal needed as well as heavy due to it being fully made of metal. *shrugs*If you watch all the parts of the original video from that video I posted they bring out maces, warpicks, war hammers, etc. even a giant spear with a massive tip that can't be cut off easily without a saw/ax and enough time
Wat? aren't you wasting your time on shamanism and tree-loving? I might have a slight misconception of Engems on that...Engem are the biggest Kuul industrial power on Altera
Yes, Arcturus was a woman. ;DWat? aren't you wasting your time on shamanism and tree-loving? I might have a slight misconception of Engems on that...
Besides, you got that industrial resolve from mommy Arcturus... ^-^
Yes, Arcturus was a woman. ;D
Arcturus was based on old Empires and such, from the age of Imperialism. The only nation I can think of that has ever called itself a masculine name was Germany, aka the Fatherland. Everything else is feminine; Mother Russia, Britain, France I think was one too.Yes, Arcturus was a woman. ;D
The Lioness of the South - Strength and Elegance, the mother of conquerors ^-^Yes, Arcturus was a woman. ;D
Not the WHOLE thing, the tip is realllllly long and to thick to bend easily and yes it was expensive and yes it is heavyThere are more videos to this?

[Insert obligatory "women rule the world" type phrase here]
Dude, how long are we going to keep arguing this point? Nothing that we would have access to in this timeframe would have the ability to pierce plate armour deep enough to be of use in a combat situation.Not the WHOLE thing, the tip is realllllly long and to thick to bend easily and yes it was expensive and yes it is heavy
It wasn't that complicated. As long as you had someone else to put it on you that isfound this link

all the components of plate armor, layer by layer.
as you can see, it was so complicated.
