Somebody had a bad day
Otoh my plan was to go from one end of the line to the other and all four units of cav got stuck at the first two enemy units
If I saw that right, the enemy was light infantry - so yeah, someone had a bad day.
That ended up being addressed in the actual post with Hrodger and Ouruo. And it's a glaive, apparently, but I figured halberd was probably close enough.
yes
nah it was just a busted metal hoe
Right now there's only one moment of the creation process because I found a 30-minute video on making a breastplate and I don't feel like writing a 30-minute passage.
Tuscany is a fun place.
There are many many differences between glaives and halberds (and pikes), but you are very likely to be very much aware of that.
Glad to be of help. : D
Aw... no Serious Dedication... ; )
Fair enough.
as long as the fifghting styles aren;'t too distinct it's fine
Which is the case.
A pike, a very long stick with a pointy bit, fights very distinctively from a halberd, a not-as-long stick with an axe and a lot of pointy bits used as a can opener, and a glaive, which is a blade on a not-as-long stick.
George Silver, a gentleman from the 16th century, apparently wrote, that a glaive in Europe was used similarly to a quarterstaff (not-as-long stick, possibly reinforced), half pike (not-as-long pike with elaborate head), bill (tool used for trimming tree limbs and human limbs), halberd (can opener), voulge (hacking tool bound to a not-as-long stick), or partisan (half pike with crossguard).
From that alone, we can infer, that a glaive is more a jack of all trades, used to whack people over the head with it, to cut, to thrust, maybe even to parry or in an anti-armour role. A highly complicated, specialized weapon requiring training and practice. Contrary to that, the halberd is a one-trick pony opening tin cans once they had been dehorsed, not requiring much training, but strength, while the pike is the classic infantry weapon of the late medieval, early modern era, before practical firearms and bayonets, requiring less skill or strength and more drill, like with their antique counterparts.
So, yes, the fighting styles are very distinct and pose very different requirements towards the user(s) - not to mention manpower requirements, as a singular pikeman is dead meat.
apparently it's Germany vs France in :football: tonight.
will there be a bloodbath? <.<
Women's Euro, semi-finals... no, not a bloodbath, but a lot of scratching and hair pulling...
No, fun aside, women's football is not a blood sport.
Main issue being that I would prefer to do something non-human or demihuman and non-Western/non-European with it since I just prefer to do that
The most European thing I’ll do is make it some Roman LARP with cool Medieval Latin music :shrug:
But otherwise some variant on Dregh is more likely
Hm... if you want to stay in Tuscany, look into the Etruscans. They have some very interesting creatures in their art and mythology, among them the Tuchulcha (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuchulcha), a chthonic daemon.
Mervay, Polish Prussian Commonwealth, and Versilia
it's Germany vs France
doesn't some violence come with that deal?
<.< >.>
No, not that I'd be aware of it.
Yea but the only video I could find for polearm fighting was for spears and halberds— nevermind I just didn't search too hard. Then again, I'd guess that the general techniques won't be too dissimilar? As it is right now, Hrdoger just has wide sweeps planned since his magic is associated with the gestures that he attacks with, which probably makes the glaive's diversity of attacks more ideal, anyway, and does allow for a more varied moveset than a bunch of halberd hits coming in from diagonals. It's surprising, really, just how much the description of the glaive seems to fit Hrodger (high maintenance that needs more care and skill to use).
More importantly, would glaives be viable in formation so that I could keep the analogy that Ouruo made about the Peaks being a clan of togetherness and fighting in formation wwwwww
i mean if it works for naginata samurai in blocks of 160 (iirc) in total war shogun 2...
Now that seems more my style 👀
Chthonic mountain-dwelling Dregh
Sorta thinking Paleo-Iberian and Etruscan primary influences and inspirations/sources
Glad to have been of help. : )
They do look metal, don't they?
Unfortunately...
...I'm afraid, that I can't help you with that. Maybe JSTOR (https://www.jstor.org/) has something?
New Visayan Islands I've just readed about the earthquake. Are you alright?? Did it impact your area?
Not really, barely felt it when it hit. Junior's mother, on the other hand, was spooked as all hell; had to be if the tries to call me on my way home from work yesterday were any indication. IIRC her son from a previous relationship lives with her mom and younger half-siblings in the province hit hardest.
And I looked up the area and apparently there was a weak aftershock earlier this afternoon.
I am glad to hear, that you are alright. Please give our best wishes.
Thank you! : D
Thank god, I'm glad to hear you're ok mate. Please keep us updated.
