" The worst kind of opponent you can meet on the battle ground is the one that wishes death but will fight with everything he has and take as many as he can before he falls down... "
~ Jorg Farwynn ~
We heard about tales, stories in books from battles and wars that even this day we think they were never happened.
Because of the courage that men had to fight and the harsh situations they had to stand.
~ Archers ~
Archers played a huge role in battlefield.
They could cause lot of damage but we all think
The truth is that archers could hit their own men too, depends on the enviroment. If both armies has to get involved in a fight and they have orders to shoot we know both sides have casualities from arrows. Wind effects where an arrow can fall.
But it's not only that. Listening to stories about leaders being on the front line sometimes can be... very poetic.
You have to make sure you held a shield and always being raised while you're trying to fight with a sword or spear on the other hand. Because no matter who you are, you can always fall from an arrow like winter wheat.
Imagine hundred or thousand of arrows flying above your head. Everyone could get a hit.
~ Cavarly ~
When you see a cavarly charging you must know that the first three lines will get crashed only by their horses !
Of course it depends how good defence you have but horses have a lot of strength and they run with so much speed that the first lines will get killed or wounded.
Heavy and big shields with spears can help but not always. You must make sure you have infantry with lot of men and not only a couple of lines. Otherwise the cavarly will pass easily *coughs*
~The Legend~
This is what we read in books or hear by someone else who happened to be in a battle with him.
Someone that is favored by the gods and have many abilities to fight alone. It's a PvE, you know ?
A legend just throws himself into a battle till the first of the enemy falls down.
What he can receive back ?
Fame, gold, legacy and free drinks in taverns *sights*
~Dragons~
A beast that bursts fire and can slay a whole line of men with the claws. What else can we say ?
Dragons can be very deadly and some times you don't need a strategy.
Their scales are very hard and archers can't make lot of damage. But from the other hand, if you have scorpions you can repulse them or even kill, if you're lucky or skilled on aim.
That's all folks !
Don't forget to mention your thoughts below and can't wait to see you next time !!!
