@@simonepazsimon7219 It was literally a joke you know like that thing you made. Not like they could swim in a typhoon anyway. Ugh now I feel all gross from having to explain that to you.
The Oda intro felt the most intense. Close second is the Takeda clan. In my head, the Spear is the best weapon to arm your people with. Cavalry and swords are great - but require much MUCH more training. The spear? Everyone can get the gist in less than a day. Stand in a formation and keep the sharp bit forward. Charging cavalry? Form up tight and don't break. Skilled swordsmen? Keep the point forward and push them back - you've got reach. Only thing more rangy than spears are missiles like arrows and siegecraftery.
Yea. spear is the best weapon of the period. If you watch HEMA fights, many newbie spear fighters defeat multiple experienced swordsman who practiced 2-3 years who fight him at the same time. arm a legion with spears and here we go.

@@Mrkabrat Not in this time period. The Spanish Armada ruled. It was only after Britain defeated it that the Royal Navy would become the new dominating navy of the world.
