Try taking a city with nothing but archers and then you'll see.

>>2662597
While I know I'm feeding the troll; in most of warfare, especially by the HYW, archery was much more of a support weapon than it was a lethal weapon. You couldn't completely eliminate an enemy force with just missile fire, not without spending hundreds or more arrows to each of their soldiers. Rather, it was primarily there to disorient and disrupt for melee combat.

PLus, there wasn't a hard and fast line between "archers" on one hand and "Melee guys" on the other. Your archers and your lighter armored infantry were usually the same guys, who would put down their bows and pick up their hammers or swords or whatever it was they had when appropriate. And it's hard to run efficiently when your best organizational tool is a signal flag or a guy blowing a horn; plus, the enemy probably has horsemen, and horses can run a good deal faster than your guys can.

It wasn't used alone. It was used alongside thick fabric that could protect from arrows and spears. The reason why cavalry often used spears is because horses go 40 km/h and could pierce the material. If you want more info on this i suggest watching people like Shadiversity,Metateron and Lindybeige.

Because it was usually used in conjunction with a giant sheet of wood that protected most of the most body from thrusts and had padding behind it to absorb some of the impact of whatever that manages to get past the shield?

I'm pretty sure Order 66 is directly inspired by the arrest of the Knight Templars.

Vive L'Empereur

Anyone of worth, at this point

Peasant rebellions, Emperors, Millions of deaths, Mongols, Communism, shitty environment

Millions die everytime a merchant gets ripped off or a student flunks an exam.

We're having too many Rome vs Christianity thread today

>people

They're called Christcucks. Everyone with half a brain knows the Romans orgied their way to superpower status.

>>2667767
this

the Romans fought in the most strict army the world had ever seen, and then came home and fucked like dogs and partied, because that's what you do when you're stuck being a marius mule for an entire campaign, you want to come home and enjoy life for a while, ergo big fucking meaty orgies with dicks going into all sorts of holes.

Because it is inhabitated by brown people and brown people are inherently inferior.

Because Spain and Portugal exploited the land and brutalized the natives instead of creating their own self sufficient colonies like England did.
