Sarcasm – better than killing people.

That's not fair....that knight doesn't stand a chance!......GO SAMURAI!

question: do you use the pen tool for selections or the lasso tool exclusively?

Cool. My money's on the Samurai!

Very interesting comment Nielsteperdejong!
I also like this kind of weaponery and ancient war stuff..

well, my opinion... like you wrote, Katana is a slashing weapon, and you mean that those kind of weapons has no chance facing armors... but remember the Cruzades... islamic warriors used the same kind of slashing weapons (SCIMITARS) and they kicked the asses of european christians so many times as well they get kicked their owns not few...

So, what makes the true difference are other factors than the traditional kind of the swords, the armours, or the shileds that an army use...

I think that a samurai vs a chainmail knight are very similar and both has chances... samurais at war, in the battlefield does USED amours, and a very effectives ones... here the individual hability would be the definition point...
Plate armour is other subject. It was clearly the most advanced armour and a plate armour knight was very protected, but their movements and agility were restricted at the point that if they falls from their horses to earth, they were in disadvantage vs a knight with a hammer or some like that... for a samurai would be very hard to defeat the plate armour, but normally the samurai would be faster than the plate armour knight... again the personal inteligence and hability is the key...

and mongolians are on another level, they pwns whatever and all the people they want, chineses, nippons, europeans, arabs, etc when they want... but their empire ended soon because they were a crazy band of tribes with a weak politic organization... thast's a fact...
