I know it's a game, but is bronze armour really that ineffective against arrows?

[@user-pc9dy2yw4x]

Arrows are deadly af. They could pierce a multiple layered shield

[@bac9617]

If the arrows are precise yes they are. Despite having inferior weapons to the Greeks, persian archers were notorious for their accuracy so watching this makes sense if they were hitting the Spartans in the face, neck, etc.

[@jasonrabeiro3526]

The armor was mostly to ward off grazing blows and the splinter from metal on metal. A direct shot from an arrow with sufficient velocity could nearly any piece of armor or shield, as demonstrated by the historical Battle of Agincourt where outnumbered English troops consisting largely of archers defeated a vastly superior French army of knights armed with the strongest armor and shields of the age. Only reason we don't use bows and arrows anymore is not because they are no longer effective in dealing death, but simply because bullets are FAR more effect.

[@xXFeralArtsXx]

Jason Rabeiro Guns do not require training to use. Guns are much much much more precise from first shot from a complete novice as compared to a bow. Bullets are easier to carry and you can carry a lot more. You can fire bullet after bullet after bullet with just moving a finger, as compared to loading each arrow separately and then having to aim again. You can still fire a gun even if you miss a finger or two. After shooting 300 bullets you can still shoot 1000 more. After shooting 300 arrows, well let's just say your arm will fall off (you will hurt after shooting non-stop as well.. but you can last MUCH MUCH longer)

[@championofgods]

Armor was effective against arrows. That's why they made crossbows.

[@SoddingSuperhero]

To all the people confused why Leonidas' armor was so weak against ranged fire: Armor was mostly to ward off grazing blows and the splinter from metal on metal. A direct shot from an arrow with sufficient velocity could nearly any piece of armor or shield, as demonstrated by the historical Battle of Agincourt where outnumbered English troops consisting largely of archers defeated a vastly superior French army of knights armed with the strongest armor and shields of the age.

[@primordialbias8711]

But wait, the bows that the English used at Agincourt were longbows, weren't they? And those were actually kind of ridiculous with how powerful they were, right? Were the Persian bows at Thermopylae comparable?

[@jasonrabeiro3526]

@@primordialbias8711 You're right, they were far more powerful than Persian bows, but a Medieval Knight's steel plate armor was also far more durable than a bronze cuirass. The Persians grew their Empire on the strength of their archers and cavalrymen so I just to wanted to explain that their bows were definitely strong enough to pierce Greek armor.

[@primordialbias8711]

Ah. Well, alright, that does make sense.

[@SilenceKyo]

Thats a misconception. Armor was very effective for what it does. There are French accounts before even that battle that they waded through the English arrows like it was rain. They lost the battle of Agincourt not because of the archers killing them, but because of poor decisions and the terrain. The fact that armor was so good against arrows was why the French men at arms were overconfident in that first part in that battle. Properly made armor will not be so vulnerable to arrows.

[@TemenosL]

You seem like a nice dude, Jason. Believe me when I say this isn't personal. But you're entirely wrong. The kind of bodily protection that 'mostly warded off grazing blows' would be in a whole different category than plate armor. It's what I'd categorically call 'Light' historical armor. We're talking anything from regular civilian fabric clothing, to light or untreated leather jacks, to other forms of light linen armor. Strong piercing thrusts generally pierce such light armor. Cuts were resisted to a moderate degree by this. In a category of 'Medium'-ish armor I'd consider something like Gambeson, thick multi-layer linen clothing, and boiled or treated hardened leather, (which itself is fairly rare in the historical record). This would provide very good protection against cuts by hand-weapons, barring larger two-handed polearms, but would still potentially be vulnerable to be punched through by strong, supported thrusts. You'd be extremely surprised how a modern analogue, a simple winter coat, protects so well against cuts, and could even limit the effectiveness of a thrust. In the 'Heavy' category I'd put maille, scale armor/llamelar, and plate. Even going as far back as bronze armor, this is generally all but impervious to cuts, which leave only the most superficial knicks and scratches on the surface. Typical hand-weapons generally do not pierce these without extreme force, and even when they do, most often than not they go in to a depth measured in no more than a few centimeters or an inch. These are best combated by circumventing the pierce altogether with blunt-trauma weapons, or by using a dedicated thick spiked weapon to try to punch into the armor and penetrate through it. So no. Historical bronze cuirasses of this period were not 'for glancing blows'. If you know anything about bronze you'd know it can be and is (naturally) work-hardened, which can be done even cold, (unlike with iron/steel), which happens naturally as it's hammered out in the shape of the form of the muscle cuirasse. And, as we get further into history, the cuirasses get stronger and stronger. By the time of Agincourt, which you reference, damn near no human-powered weapon would get very far into a cuirasse with any ease at all. Late cuirasse developments saw the belly bowed/bulging in a semi-spherical shape which aided further in defence and also put distance between the metal and the man's mail or padding beneath, which meant that minor penetrations would be even *less* effective. Now, as for what happened at Agincourt? Well, any astute student of history would learn that the atrocious weather conditions seriously bogged down the French cavalry and knights atop them. It rained a lot prior, and the conditions then in that region are the same now, you get deep, thick mud that creates suction when you try to pull your foot and walk out. In other words, for a man wearing an extra 60lbs of full-body armor, it would be exhausting to walk through. Scholars have surmised that at least some portion of the French cavalry, (the horses themselves, not the man), may not have had full-body protection, and the English rain of arrows was in truth far less likely to hurt the man as it was the horse. Horses whose speed and impetus was bogged down by the conditions. Dismounted knights then were also further bogged down by the conditions. And English archers there, being lightly armored and fleet of foot, could beat down, smother and overwhelm the knights by the time they'd reached them. Furthermore, for your viewing pleasure, these videos. Absolutely no qualitative test today has ever shown that period plate armor, from any period, could be *easily* pierced by a typical bow's arrow or a crossbow's bolt *at any decent range beyond something like 20 yards or 30-ish feet*. No, not even those powerful English warbows. As you watch these, bear in mind that as I said, most cuirasses by the 14th c. onward are bowed at the belly, giving more space between the thickest part of the cuirasse and the user. At the time of Agincourt, they also wore mail beneath it. An excellent cuirass completely shrugs off the arrow from a 120lb english longbow. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5uWop2Lr7qth8k Relatively cheapish reproduction of a historical plate against crossbows, including a heavy crossbow which requires a windlass to load. Shallow penetrations. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jn63Z5ugrL5rhLM One of the typical conclusions. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/emScamp-j9qKoM0 Crossbow, (which admittedly amounts to only an 80lb or so bow). - kzbin.info/www/bejne/naiuf3V4bryqaKc Some good strong bows against what I genuinely presume, compared to what the above videos have shown, is a fairly cheap, soft-ish cuirass. Most of these penetrate less than an inch into the cuirass, which wouldn't even touch the mail yet due to it's bowled shape. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXSoZWOAbpiga8U Another - kzbin.info/www/bejne/enTcqJSPobarjac Here we have a crudely shaped, (looks nothing like any armor, it's cheap mild steel) hunk of metal fixed static onto a post (human bodies give to impact, they aren't braced static), performing the role of the period plate without proper heat treatment, and even then, only a handful of the arrows actually go far enough that they'd even touch the armor beneath it. They likely wouldn't have the energy to get through the mail. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p167oWhsqrusrtU Generally speaking, in rebuttal to your claim about the effectiveness of armor and plate, by the mid-15th-to-16th century, plate armor was so damn effective at protection from any common blow that rich knights literally stopped carrying shields as the armor was the shield, instead opting for more potent two-handed weapons. That says a lot. huaban.com/pins/407741673/ huaban.com/pins/407741629/ huaban.com/pins/407741600/ i.imgur.com/kylX8KU.gif

[@santiagomorales3813]

So leonidas was king and alexios/kassandra are the heritage so technically alexios or kassandra are supposed to be the king or queen

[@oscarmontano110]

Santiago Morales no because in the first cutscene of the game Leonidas said”I would have liked to go fishing with my son” this could possibly show myrene (alexios/kassandra’s mother) might be the last born there is a reason nikoloas isn’t the king but a general,and he was still just a general before nikoloas and myrene split. So alexios or kassandra do have royal blood but do not have the right to sit on the throne,also I think leonidas son may have died because no one mentions myrene’s older brother and in Sparta the people sometimes pick new rulers if a bloodline died and they wouldn’t have given it to myrene after her brother died because she left Sparta and her children disgraced Sparta.

Contrary to popular belief, the 300 Spartans did not face Xerxes' army alone. King Leonidas certainly did not dismiss all others because he saw fear in their eyes. Upon being betrayed by Ephialtes, and realizing they could not win, Leonidas did send the majority of the Greek forces home, but around 2,000 others did stay in one last glorious stand with his Spartans.

Jeff Galef talk about bravery. All the Greeks that stayed with the Spartans knew it would be a fight to the death but they stayed anyway.

[@Eshayzbra96]

Yep. They only retreated because Leonidas ordered them to, because while the pass was certainly lost, Greece still needed a military and since the Greeks were in heavy fighting for 2 days prior to the final day, a lot of whom he sent home were pretty much veterans at this point and were pivotal to removing Xerxes from Greece. Thankfully Themistocles was still around too.

[@jimakisspd]

Not 2000, 1000. 300 Spartans and 700 Thespians....

[@Rikalonius]

Themistocles gets very little love. He was the Leonidas of the sea. His actions in the bay were every bit as important as the Spartan anchored holding of the pass. And then, a year later, when the Spartans were working over the Persians on land, Themistocles was at sea spanking Xeres fleet, forcing him to break out and run back for Persia never to be heard from again.

[@Eshayzbra96]

jimakisspd, the numbers are debated. Could of been 1000, could of been more.

[@johntfast]

I'd like to point out that 700 Thespians and 400 Thebes did not flee the battle as Leonidas commanded but fight until death alongside the 300 spartans

[@MrSteiglitz]

You gotta remember, Abstergo is not only a "front" to the templar order but they are also a leading innovator of their respective economies. They were already making games and promotions that we ourselves saw in Black Flag. This may just be one of those creations. I mean seriously though.. Even if Odyssey doesn't have an extremely huge tether to AC lore, it definitely attracted us to it. Who doesn't enjoy the prospect of playing as a decedent of the ass kickin Leonidas. Ubisoft is taking huge strides to make their open world games a whole spectrum larger for their players, even going as far as to make their fictional, gavel wielding, corporate boogeyman seem believable.

How did the arrows go through their armor?

[@xXFeralArtsXx]

:))))) The armor wasn't made of adamantium my friend hahahahaha, this is bronze armor, bronze armor was weakest of them all(metal armor). Arrows can pierce through shields which are thicker than the armor you wear. Arrow who didn't pierce was because of deflection and angles in the armor(as in, not a direct hit, but sideways so it slides off the armor). A direct hit from an arrow would 100% mean penetration.

[@Hello.how.is_ur_day]

Yeah it is bronze armor but Spartans had better equipment than the Persians.

[@SpidermanT1]

Now it makes more sense :P

[@kano5256]

Their shields were highly effective at blocking arrows due to shape, and them being a thick piece of bronze with a wood back. This is the Iron Age of weapons, arrows would shred armor. Armor was used to keep grazes and give protection from non direct hits.

[@ethanbridgett9395]

Just because the armour was bronze doesn't mean its made out of bronze armour you fucking idiot.

[@KTA1sVidsandFacts]

Great, another 300 rip off. The thing is, I'm used to having my people portrayed as villains by now, but I find this extremely insulting, not to my people, but to the other brave Greeks that died that day along with the Spartans. They are given no recognition here, and they are treated as cowards, even though in reality they choose to stay behind on the last day with the Spartans. Their memory should be honored, not discarded.

[@spooglet3279]

Spartans are considered far cooler nowadays. The other Greeks, not so much. I’d imagine most people thought it was only the 300 Spartans.

[@KTA1sVidsandFacts]

Yes, that's the sad part about all of this.

[@lieutenantkettch]

People forget that the Spartans would declare open season on their helots (slaves/serfs) every autumn in a festival called the Crypteia. Spartan men were told to seek out and kill any helot they came across, and specifically targeted the strongest and smartest ones in order to eliminate any potential leaders in a slave revolt.

[@dolfyhilter577]

Agreed. the Spartans can kiss my ass

[@kano5256]

Well I don’t think they are portraying the others that fought with them as cowards. I see it as they were not professional soldiers, Spartans were warriors first. It’s not a slight against other Greeks but elevation of Sparta

Pry not that different actually.

[@JasonGracePJO]

Won't do any different, really. Some cultures would be different, yes, but for most parts, no.

[@TheFlyingCougar]

Lol probably not different at all actually. And the truth is the Spartans were not freedom fighters - their society was actually far less free than the Persian Empire. Their entire economy was supported by the hard labor of an enormous class of slaves called the Helots, who the Spartans would systematically slaughter in mass once a year to control their population and limit the threat of an uprising. The Battle of Thermopylae is a cool story - 300 Spartans really did battle a much larger Persian force (even if the movie and this game both grossly downplay how much help they had from other Greek forces) but it's getting kind of silly how folks romanticize Spartans as folk heroes because of the movie 300. People need to pull their heads out of their asses and stop taking everything they see in a movie as historically accurate.

[@CKainn]

I would like to point out that the MAJOR HISTORICAL MISTAKE by ubisoft is that A spartan could never abandon his shield on battle. The shield was a family relic. A spartan who returned home without his shield should abandon his city and his citizen rights. The very king of sparta SHOULD HAVE A SHIELD. Its like big MALAKIA when you make leonidas appear with only spear.
