Awww dear. Same here as with the Samurai. Gun kills it all. Where is the art now?

@Dannefan84 i don't expect all the knights in all the medieval history to be killing machines, but that doens't mean all of them were "shitty" and did not know anything of fighting. i don't know what your point was, since the points you make in no way take credit from the kinights.

[mechupanlamonda]

@Dannefan84 and what does this have to do with my comment? i never denied anything you said. you are telling things i already know. my point was that the medieval knight, and the european men at arms in general, are not what hollywood and the majority of people think they are. and they were effective during the period of cold weapons, it was not only the development of the gun, but of the formations of pikes also; it was a title, but they were also to support their liege lord in times of war.

[Dannefan84]

How do you spell that adventurous French knights name, Boscica? Can't find anything the way I spell it.

[Dannefan84]

"In truth" the medieval period is between 1066-1521 give or take some decades depending where in Europe you are. In the middle of that period guns become far more "effective" as they does not take a lifetime to train a gunner compared to a "knight" 2. A knight is a title that you most likely were born into and during the "medieval period" there were some shitty knights who didn't know the first thing about fighting. Also there is/were and never has been "a" traning for knights.

[mechupanlamonda]

in truth the medieval knight was one of the most effective cavalry units of its time. it was an agile, strong, fast, durable fighter; which was trained in all arms and tactiques of war. it was versed, swift and fast with the sword, as with any other cold weapon. it was an excellent ride, also. the knight is not " the slumbering brute with giants meat cleavers of 60 lb" that hollywood and other bullshit, fake history documentaries make them seem.

@JSoSKIILZZoX I guess I want present armies to fight a medieval way.That will be slaughter.
