the mace, the axe, the lance, and the hammer. Other weapons previously made of other materials, such as the bow and arrows, would receive major updates as well.
Armor was also made with metal. The light armor had chain most of the time, but it had less coverage with metal. They both had good qualities on which to wear. If you were a slow mover, most likely to have a two-handed weapon, than heavy armor would protect you most while you swing slowly. If you were a fast mover, mainly a one-handed user, than you will care more on the attack and use of mobility against the opponent using light armor.
Over the years, weapons were redesigned and modified. But soon a new style of weapons was invented. The weapons were more like tools, for they would help to pillage the castle. These include the catapult, ladder and ram. Those three were the most common and strategically helpful in wars. The catapult was a classic attack maneuver. It was used to hurl heavy objects, mainly big rocks, towards the wall. The goal was to either break a section off, or to kill the archers.

But after the horrible battle, things died down. We became somewhat peaceful. Writing became bigger, stories were to be told. Writing was a useful tool that mainly became big with the Phoenicians. They created a universal (kind of) alphabet so that they could communicate. They were traders and since different places had different languages, they needed a way to speak to others. The alphabet helped and was eventually made to what we have today. It not only lets us communicate with people around the world, but lets us express thoughts.
But writing didn’t make us peaceful. Guns were invented when gunpowder was discovered. Guns were much more useful than weapons like the crossbow, for the crossbow could fire three to four hundred feet and fire two bolts per minute. Guns started with slow reloading and need of fire, but soon we learned about friction. Friction was used to make the spark instead of carrying fire around. But the friction wasn’t fully reliable, so flint was used instead.
The guns made competition more deadly. When someone was truly hated, a duel would be commences. It was thought of a fair competition where you would count to three, turn and shoot. The hard part of the duel was that there was only one bullet in the chamber. It gave the game more fairness, so that if you miss, you can’t just shoot again. Whoever died was still respected and this sport was thought of as sophisticated. But killing someone is too harsh for sport, so this duel died out.
