    I idea of the Mohawks and others using bows and arrows while sort of true is a bit of a historical misconception. Many Indigenous peoples of Americas armed themselves with muskets pretty much as soon as they could barter with them, and often times they had better guns than the colonists did because they weren't restricted by arms controls what guns they could purchase. If anything, colonists usually preferred to target the camps where the woman and children would be because they knew in a straight up fight with Indigenous peoples they would lose 9/10 times.

    Half these rankings aren’t by actual power, but meme status. The Spartans had so many issues with their focus on eugenics that it pretty wiped them out as a society, and they didn’t stand at Thermopylae alone.
    Meanwhile, the Aztecs had fucking obsidian swords that could decapitate HORSES. The Mongols could do seemingly impossible archery on horseback, and engaged in biological warfaref(and helped spread bubonic plague, whoops).

      Much of the abilities of the Samurai have been exaggerated. Not to say they weren't good at what they were primarily used for. That said they sacrificed armor for agility (as they were Martial Arts experts), which means against a foe with anything more then leather armor, they were basically useles.

      I dunno, have Obsidian weapons work on certain armors? Also horseback disadvantage.

      @BeyondDaX look up Tzilacatzin and see how the spanish trembled by hearing his name even with their fancy armor... also Jaguar Warriors wouldn't have fought against horses head on they were master strategists
