Greatest warriors in history tier list

>God tier
*Samurai: Pound-for-pound the best fighters in one-on-one situations and the most sophisticated martial arts, the most developed battle tactics, and the most advanced covert warfare in military history.
*Conquistadors: Pound-for-pound they did the most with the smallest number of men. They're gods of strategy and planning.

>Top tier
*Roman infantry (They're pretty good, but they wouldn't stand a chance to Japanese horse archery and open-field battle tactics.)
*Mongol horsemen (They too are pretty good, but they got utterly destroyed by the Japanese Samurai two times in a row and started to decline afterward. That's how badly they got annihilated by the Japanese samurai.)

>Middle tier
*Vikings (Agility, precision and skill overcomes brute strength and aggressiveness.)
*Knights (Mongol horse archers destroyed them. Imagine what Japanese samurai horse archers would do.)
*Redcoats (They're pretty accomplished but their opponents were mainly spear-chucking natives.)
*Zulus (They're quite underrated and deserve to be middle tier at the least because they're god tier among the spear chuckers.)
*Mamelukes (They're only useful in desert terrain, but they were effective in defending.)
*Polish hussars (They're extremely overrated because of rabid Polish nationalists. They're borderline middle tier at the most.)

>Low tier
*Janissaries: They caused much more harm than good.
*Highlanders: They're garbage and only famous because of Hollywood movies.
*Aztecs and other Mesoamericans: They have a horrible battle record against Europeans.

Samurai are overrated nobodies who never bothered to battle foreign nations, but just bickered amongst themselves in petty small fights

And when they met with Western military for the first time, they were so scared of a couple ships that changed their entire governmental structure and adopted european legal systems and tried to mimic the west's success, just in hopes that they wouldn't be yet another british/dutch/portuguese economy

They are lower than low tier. But nobody can deny they had cool outfits. That's all they were though. Status symbols (like the two swords) to make themselves superior to the peasants.

Samurais were shit either way. Have you ever seen actual samurai armor in a museum? The medieval Japs were fucking tiny. It's almost comical. Also, the only reason they beat the Mongols was because of typhoons and the fact that Mongols don't know a single thing about boats and swimming considering that they're a steppe people. The only times the Japanese had any success in warfare were when they had a military tech advantage.

They only had success initially because gooks didn't even have a standing army at the time due to centuries of peace. Then the Japs clashed with the Chinese and got their shit pushed in and retreated all the way south and sued for peace. The gooks were better prepared for the second invasion, and Chinese and Korean troops prevented the invading Japanese from expanding beyond the southernmost tip of Korea for the entire war.

>The wheel of fortune now suddenly turned against Cortes, and the joyous feelings of victory were changed into bitter mourning; for while he was eager in pursuit of the enemy, with every appearance of victory, it so happened that his officers never thought to fill up the large opening which they had crossed. The Mexicans had taken care to lessen the width of the causeway, which in some places was covered with water, and at others with a great depth of mud and mire. When the Mexicans saw that Cortes had passed the fatal opening without filling it up, their object was gained. An immense body of troops, with numbers of canoes, which lay concealed for this purpose in places where the brigantines could not get at them, now suddenly rushed forth from their hiding places, and fell upon this ill-fated division with incredible fierceness, accompanied by the most fearful yells. It was impossible for the men to make any stand against this overwhelming power, and nothing now remained for our men but to close their ranks firmly, and commence a retreat. But the enemy kept rushing on in such crowds, that our men, just as they had retreated as far back as the dangerous opening, gave up all further resistance, and fled precipitately. Now the awful consequences of the neglect to fill up the opening in the causeway began to show themselves. In front of the narrow path, which the canoes had now broken down, the Mexicans wounded Cortes in the leg, took sixty Spaniards prisoners, and killed six horses.

Most of those categories shouldn't even be considered given the fact that there are massive gaps in available military technology and circumstance. Besides, are you honestly going to tell me that the Romans couldn't completely rout and destroy a Japanese army in the mid-Yayoi Period? Are you serious? They likely wouldn't strike you as "samurai," but it shows how ridiculous this ranking scheme is.

If you had that we would have never engaged you with only 500 men against 200k men, dummy, we would have send the same Tercios that were wrecking the French or the Ottomans back in Europe instead of a small party of fortune-seekers turned into Conquistadors.

>You should consider it an honor to be defeated by Spanish conquistadors, the gods of strategy and planning.
Thing is that they defeated them.
Even when they had no single advantage other than numbers, if at all (Otumba was the first time they faced cavalry, which, as pic related shows, can be absolutely devastating). The sword alone was an abysmal advantage, it can kill just by thrusting and not only stop any blow from a macuahuitl but break the weapon.

>>72433249
>instead of a small party of fortune-seekers turned into Conquistadors
Among which were veterans of those wars against the Ottomans and the French, along many other experienced men from Italy and the Mediterrenean. Those same men admitted that they wouldn't have survived had the Aztecs not been trying to capture them.

The spanish tercios were literally the best fighting force in the world at the time. Mesoamericans/ aztecs who were utterly fucked by a few hundred conquistadors wouldn't have stood a chance against an actual army

4) Numbers.

>>72433991
What is it miwth Americans and htier education? I thought you were at least second world tier.

>1) Home court advantage.
They literally had Texcocan allies, who were literally located next to Tenochtitlan and holded 2/5 of the power of the Aztec Empire, .

2) Endless resources.
Which dissapeared as soon the water sources of Tenochtiltan were destroyed since when their cities were built no one expected people would show up with cannons.

3) Jungle guerilla warfare.
Please be bait. The Aztecs were not in Yucatan, pic related.

4) Numbers.
The Aztecs and the Spanish literally fought two times. Once in Otumba, when they faced the Spanish and their cavalry for the first time nad then in Tenochtitlan. In Tenochtitlan, the numbers were quite even, until a second smallpox outbreak appeared.
Call it excuses if you please, but their numbers don't make up for all the advantages the Spanish had.

You need to give credit to the charisma and persuasive abilities of the conquistadors. Gaining those allies is an impressive feat. Fighting is not the only thing that commanders must do, they must inspire and lead. Shame that the Aztecs didn't have that kind of leadership. Cry some more.
>>
>>72434592
The Tlaxcaltecs and Texcocans offered an alliance to the Spanish only after they saw how superior was their technology. As Otumba proved it, they did the right choice.
Nevertheless, I still recognize the Spanish resourcefulness. After all, Cortes not only won outnumbered 3 to 1 against the Spanish army sent to arrest him, but he also did it with almost no casualties and convinced the defeated to join him.
