Damn..... looks like Halberd won the thread. other weaponlets can't even compete

Obsidian is brittle but it's not nearly as brittle as it's memed to be: There's a video online of some chicano using a super inaccurate, shitty replica to cut a chicken in half, and it crackes the table the chicken was on, and none of the blades were damaged. Conquistadors also speffically noted that the blades were made and inserted into the weapon in such a way to where they wouldn't break easily.

There's also the matter that even when the blades break, you still have a giant ass club you can bashj people's heads in with or smash bones with, and if you anons think that a thick, heavy wooden club is just gonna snap from hitting metal armor then you've never dealt with hard wood before.

Lastly, historically, nobody in that region was using metal armor, nor were even the conquistadors: Most conquistadors were relatively poor and couldn';t afford it, and those that did largerly abandoned it when in Mexico and the Yucatan because of the climate, and opted for native forms of armor, mostly Ichcahuipilli, but at least on one occasion also Ehauatl, as seen in pic related

Combination, weapons are an obvious example: Halbreds can both thrust, slash, and smash, Macuahuitl's can smash and slash, etc.

>borader

>as you would an axe or halberd
yeah but you can't use it as you would a hammer, which is what you need for armor

you can slash with a halberd just fine too, and slashing isn't even that important to begin with

what's the difference between a flat hammer and edge? if it has the same weight/force it should do the same damage to armor? or is the problem that it slides off?

conquistadors only wore the meme onesies because it was hot and sweaty in metal armor
it's not just obsidian being brittle, it's the wood holding it together
doesn't matter about historically when you're comparing it to other weapons. an actual sword, made of METAL, would go right through your dumb meme timber. People in civilized countries stopped using sticks to fight for a reason mate

I wonder if these weapons were ever intended as useable. That crossbow that shot cannon balls was fucking sick.

mace and spear is the patricians choice. crossbow for range maybe.

So much of the cut content looked great.

hoo boy let's see what we get

Time to fist

Ranged combat was largely a meme. It was quite easy to dodge and just hit them with whatever weapon you had.

>conquistadors only wore the meme onesies because it was hot and sweaty in metal armor
that's what I was saying you dofus

>it's not just obsidian being brittle, it's the wood holding it together
> would go right through your dumb meme timber.
And again, if you think that hardwood clubs are just gonna break after a few swings, you don't know what you are talking about

> People in civilized countries stopped using sticks to fight for a reason mate
Mesoamerica was plenty civilized and had been for thousands of years: Their cities were comparable in size to what you saw in europe at the time and in early classical anitquity such as inb Ancient greece, there was also a similar emphasis on intellectualism, peotry, and philsophy as in classical anitquity, but with an even wider and more accessable education systems; you had MORE complex and advanced medical/saniation and water mangement/hydraluoic systems, more advanced bonotanical science and agricultural practice; and they had about bronze age military complexity, economics, archtecture and mathmatics (ahead of bronze age mathmatics for Astronomy in particular)

But yes, no shit metal tools, weapons, and armor is 1 on 1 more advantageous then wood and stone, but yuou need to judge tools and weapons in the context of where they were developed. Saying "a metal sword is better then a macuahuitl" is a bit like saying "a gun is better then a sword": No fucking shit, but it';s a bad comparison to begin with due to ignoring that the macuahuitl was developed in a region where metal weapons and armor weren't used due to the climate: The Mesoamericans could and did smelt bronze, had the climate been conductive to it they would have been using metal armor and weapons

>after actually stealing them from white greeks

Do you not know basic history you faggot? The greeks got writing and civilization from from the Mesopotamians, greece was filled with a bunch of tribes when Mesopotamia had the first city states.

You don't know shit about the conquest if you honesty think this.

Metal weapons, cannons, horses don't mean shit when even an average city's armor outnumbers you like 8:1. Cortes had some early success against smaller towns and villages but the moment he actually ran into a decently sized political state, Tlaxcala; their forces utterly BTFO'd Cortes and his men (and hundreds of additional soldiers from the city of Cempoala that joined up with cortes), and Tlaxcala itself by this time had been super weakened due to decades of Aztec blockades: Tlaxcala just spared Cortes and realized the Conquistadors would make excellent shock troops against the Aztecs, and subsquently allied with them.

Which is the second thing: Cortes was not manipulating the native states: it was the other way around: Tlaxcala spardd them to use as allies, and before then Cempoala had tricked Cortes into helping them raid a rival city. When Cortes, The Tlaxcallans, and Cempoalans arrived in Cholula, the Tlaxcalans tricked Cortes into massacring the population there since Cholula had recently switched allegiences from Tlaxcalatec to Aztec. All throughout the conquest, you consistently see native states using Conquistadors as tools to their own geopolitical ends (as to why they allowed Spain to rule over them instead of all turning on him, I can clarify on this on request)

Lastly, even WITH hundreds of thousands of soldiers from numerous native city-states aiding Spain and forming the bulk of their armies in the regions, AND with smallpox and other diseases decimating the native population and causing chaos, it still took Spain decades to conquer most of the region, in some places never truly pacicfying it for centuries. The last Maya state fell in 1697, for example

For a real man of valor and fighting spirit, there can only be ONE solution for best weapon: Sticking blades on the arm parts of your armor, wrestling your opponent to the floor and cutting up his throat / body. Like pic related, just with more armor for self protection.

Could a polearm even be swung in a manner that would generate enough force to efficiently vanquish a skeleton in a few strikes though? I mean, they're immune to fear and exhaustion, so you'd have to be able to stop it from advancing pretty quickly.

in reality though I would say pretty much anything could infect your wound, since the weapons weren't sterilized and people didn't exactly shower daily.

however you are 100% correct that people did used to duel naked or underclothed a lot. my main point is just that the pic situation probably wouldn't be common

Man of fucking taste. Halberds are god tier.

Fag. Gay boy weapon, built for cucks who watch way too much anime and mutter edgy shit to themselves.

It has some flaws, such as some of the level layouts feeling samey. But, overall, it's a solid game, with a lot of room for skilled play and it felt satisfying to git gud. The 4 characters (5 with DLC) play very differently to each other and the level layouts are quite varied, you can pick and choose your abilities, and the visuals are great. There are interesting gimmick bosses occasionally.
For perspective I've only ever played that version and the 1986 ZX Spectrum Gauntlet, so I'm not sure how it would stack up to the playstation gauntlets, but based on how different the characters felt, I'd say you might enjoy it.

I'll roll the traditional way

let's see if this works one last time

Are you?

Egypt and Mesopotamia, both in the Fertile Crescent AKA the middle east, were the first places that had complex civilization and writing. Both spread from there up into the mediterrian around 3000 BC, at which point greek tribes started to develop into civilizations themselves, basically getting to the same level the middle east had been by 2000-1500 BC

The only places to actually "invent" civilization on their own vs stealing/borrowing it are the aforementioned Fertile Crescent, East Asia (China), Mesoamerica (Mexico), India, and the Andes (Peru). And of those, only The Fertile Crescent, China, and Mesoamerica independently invented writing: India's writing developed from the Fertile Cresecent's writing systems spreading there, same for Europe; and the Andes never developed a writing system (they did have a knot/rope system that sort of accomplished the same purpose)

I mean, I don't blame them. There's so much SJW shit and historical revisionism by them i'm sure to a lot of people I sound the same as WE WUZZERS.

That sort of mace is a sidearm. If you "main" one, you're badly equipped. Find yourself a polearm. They're more effective at punching through armour than maces, they have options for dealing with unarmoured foes, and they have better reach (very good for your health).

Hell, pick up a morningstar, if you're that set on maces.
You should still pack a warhammer, a mace, a sword or something in case you lose your halberd or you want to step outside of the barracks.
Maces aren't slow, user. That's why they're so small, to keep them fast.

Bastard sword = longsword. All longswords are exclusively wielded with two hands. The whole "you can use one hand or two" thing is a myth.
It's literally the rich man's halberd. There's no reason not to use them, if you can afford it. Most people can't.
They're kinda ineffective against people without armour.

A mace or morning star with certain armors is aesthetically pleasing.

yea

I never really liked blunt weapons
I'm a basic sword&board dude, I don't mind spears or axes either, but maces just don't appeal to me

Yes. They don't put people out of action nearly so well as severing things (the best) or running them through (still pretty good).
>but it'll still damage/even kill them!
Yes, but there's a small window between being hilariously damaged and actually being disabled. You can get hurt in that window.

The only reason warhammers and maces are used is because you literally cannot chop or pierce through armour, but you can bludgeon it.

Oh yeah, and they're also pretty short.

>Bastard sword = longsword
The name "bastard sword" didn't even exist until after the end of the medieval period, for starters. In fact I don't think "longsword" did either, there's definitely a bit of a clusterfuck in terms.
>All longswords are exclusively wielded with two hands
Yes, that is correct.
>The whole "you can use one hand or two" thing is a myth
If you have a sword which has a blade and hilt size halfway between an arming sword and a "claymore" 2 handed sword, then you can use it with 1 hand or 2 hands as you please, because it's not too large to 1hand. What's the issue here?

>is a myth

>It felt a lot more fun welding that thing

>Bastard sword = longsword.
It patently does not.

Well, yes, you're right. Medieval naming conventions of the time are incredibly unrigourous. Most of them basically boil down to various ways of saying "sword", or perhaps "big sword". The point was that there's no such thing as a sword which is a "bastard child" of a shortsword and a longsword.
>What's the issue here?
That there were no swords like that which could be wielded as you describe them.
There were no such things as levies, either, in the west at least. Gambesons and maille are the sort of thing a sword can cut through. It's plate that puts a stop to things.
Feel free to source me wrong.

long knife/short sword/arming sword: 1 hand
bastard sword: 1 or 2 hands will both work.
long sword: designed to be 2 handed. you could swing it one handed, but it wouldn't be effective.
great sword: only 2 handed, no exceptions.

that one doesn't look very authentic

while sword typing was ubiquitous.
There is at least references on differentiating "bastard swords" and "longswords" as early as Henry VIII's time and before. In that frame of reference a "bastard sword" are swords that are halfway in length between an arming sword and two handed long bladed swords. It ranged from "half and hands" to long rapiers.

>Gambesons and maille are the sort of thing a sword can cut through.
They're the sort of thing a sword can THRUST through you fucking feeb, mail is for all intents & purposes cut proof and gambeson ain't far behind it and considering that the former was worn with the latter I'm inclined to think that you learned everything you know from LindyBeige's dumb ass.

Best post. Not only are stab wounds from a rapier-like sword the most likely to be fatal because of internal bleeding and organ puncture, but carrying around a rapier is baller as fuck and not cumbersome like an ooga booga mace.

Carrying a mace wasn't cumbersome, not least because of its relatively short length. Even a smallsword would actually be more of a pain in the ass to carry around than most maces.

Yeah, that was the inspiration. Here's a quick doodle I threw together to kinda show how it's more meant to be used

Attached: Example.png (750x900, 2.58M)

It's not really, throughout history way more people have survived arrow wounds. An arrow stabs into you and if you survive/escape you get to choose when and how carefully you take it out to deal with the wound. A stab from a sword is more messy, a differing angle of entry and exit can do more damage and make a bigger wound by twisting, shifting, etc. Also unlike an arrow, a stab wound will likely cause more bleeding because of the immediate empty wound cavity that starts to fill with blood where the arrow-head/shaft sticks in place helping keep pressure on the wound and allowing blood to coagulate around it better.

>It's not really
It is. It may be the equivalent of stabbing someone and leaving the knife in them but that's still just stabbing someone.

>you're an Indian
You sure sound buttblasted Frenchie, sounds like some projection :^)

fist

Lindy's dumb, I'm not a frog, you're a shitposting thirdie.

>more projection from a butt blasted Indian who lives in France
:^)

>More deflection from a delusional Lindy fan

>being this anal pained once the truth has been revealed

based macebro
sick blunt damage and aesthetics

>Being this rectal ragnarok'd when someone shits on an e-celeb
But please, make this about everything other than Lindy's dumb ass because you're literally incapable of actually defending him.

no hes right the arrow being stuck in the body stops bleeding.Stabbing someone leaves an immediate exit wound to bleed from.

>being this rectum ravaged over factual statements

>the arrow being stuck in the body stops bleeding
>the equivalent of stabbing someone and leaving the knife in them

>Still literally incapable of defending Lindy
Seriously, I want to hear what you have to say about him.

>>Whip
>Good luck with armors with your fetish "weapon". Also, you will never be a Belmont.
>brass knuckles are the weapons of real men

Listen, I love a good fisting as much as the next guy, but how the hell are you going to get through armor with brass knuckles?

>Lindy lives rent free inside his head
lmao

Yours too it seems. I'm all for bumping weapon threads but seriously are we just gonna sit here and jack each other off or what?

you can actually see medieval art of arrow wounds from high powered war bows.

The wounds are plugged shut and aren't bleeding so much so that they just continue on fighting.If these were sword or knife wounds they would of past out from the blood loss.

Again, leave the knife in and you get the same effect. It's not that you're not stabbing someone you're just stabbing them from a distance with a disposable object so you don't immediately take your shit back. Throw a spear into someone and you've simply stabbed them from a distance, throw a knife into someone and you've simply stabbed them from a distance, these are factual statements.

you're not stabbing the with the force of 150 pounds over 250 feet per second creating a 10cm perfect hole.It wont plug the wound as effectively

>using d scimmy for its spec rather than for dps
Cringe

>Force applied having anything to do with stopping blood
Guess you're posting from a universe where bullets don't work.

roll penis

also a lot of the weapons you are describing are knifes and spears are tapered in such a way to prevent over penetration.It gets wider rapidly to stop you going in too deep and getting stuck inside someone mid combat.

entry wounds on gunshots aren't very bloody its the exit that's messy.

>entry wounds on gunshots aren't very bloody
Yes they are. A bullet can pass through someone clean without tumbling and still make them bleed out. The exit tends to be messier because of tumbling, expansion, fragmentation, etc. but that's a bonus, not a requirement for effectiveness.

There is not a dagger in the fucking world that was designed with the goal of decreasing penetration in mind for any reason other than dramatically increasing another aspect like the kukris focus on cutting.

Roll and check em

>There is not a dagger in the fucking world that was designed with the goal of decreasing penetration in mind for any reason other than dramatically increasing another aspect like the kukris focus on cutting.

why do you think this get so wide?

>pass through someone clean without tumbling and still make them bleed out.
>pass through someone clean

how is that relevant to arrows and knifes plugging wounds? of course it bleed if it goes straight through.Stop shifting goal posts and changing subjects.

tactical dreadnought armor is terminator armor

I prefer using the Crowbill, the Mace just felt really unwieldy to me whenever I tried it.
On the other hand, I really enjoy the Mace and Sword, and have been using them for a little while now.

Partially because bronze needs to be shaped in certain ways to not suck because it can't be hardened and partially because a wider wound causes more blood to leave the body. I'd be extremely interested to see a reliable source that said that the knife you posted got that wide to prevent overpenetration.

>how is that relevant to arrows and knifes plugging wounds?
Dude (you) are the one who brought up bullet entry wounds and I was addressing that point.
