did you ever watch that lindybeige video about spears vs swords? team spears tbh they fuckin wrecked
A sword is a romantic weapon, but for essentially all of human history other weapons were the bread and butter of war. Bows and arrows were significant but unromantic, spears were often the main arm for soldiers, and despite the romantic image of a knight with a gleaming sword, knights would be hard-pressed to fight one another with a sword since their armor would render them virtually impervious to such weapons, you'd need something like a Warhammer or morning star to impact through the armor plate. Even samurai, their katanas iconic around the world, typically used different weapons in war.
Consider the quintessential sword story, the three musketeers: they had a lot of swordfighting in the stories, but what weapon would you expect a musketeer to use? (Hint: a musket!)
