Sasumata - How can this Weapon be in Game

@KarstHillFort77

First of all, there’s no evidence whatsoever to suggest that any form of existing Chinese martial arts can be traced back to Bodhidharma who is said to have lived some 1,500 years ago

This story is just pop culture thing some people like to cling on to.There are multiple fighting styles around the world which grew by themselves china is no exception.

I think you are reading stuff off your head. You quoted stuff that I never said.

@KarstHillFort77

I wanna argue with some Indian nationalist

I said nothing about India in my last two posts here. You seem to be India phobic as you have been for all your last posts.

@KarstHillFort77

even invented weapons

I never said he invented anything.

I will just leave it here:

Bodhidharma: the Mysterious Indian Prince Behind Kung-Fu and Zen

Regarding the fire lance you didn’t answer my curious question.

@Verumkai

Question about Fire Lance is how do you ignite it every time before you charge?
Wouldn’t gunpowder just fall off the tube by gravity whilst moving?

Even the picture you showed from the documentary doesn’t seem to be using it over a cavalry. And the impact doesn’t explode the gunpowder like the Fire Lancers in Age of Empires 4 shows it in game.
If it just creates some fire at the top then it is just a regular incendiary bows type thing. Almost every civilization had it.

Yes pop history is mostly exaggerated or inaccurate, that’s why I rarely watch those type of videos on Youtube. If I wanna know something I look for more credible sources such as academic papers or docs.

Martial arts styles around the world largely developed independently based on similar needs. It’s wrong to claim that Indian martial arts or Chinese martial arts influenced everyone else.

Again I don’t want to reply to a certain person I just ignore him.

But I’ll say this, historically speaking the fire lance wasn’t a cavalry weapon AoE 4 got it wrong. It was an infantry weapon used either for siege or against siege. And sometimes it was also used in naval battles especially during boarding when two ships are very close to one another.

Rise of nations game made it a foot unit but it shoots spears propelled by fire so dont think its very accurate in use.

Links work sometimes it seems

History of the Gun the Fire Lance "Live Fire"

[KarstHillFort77]

It’s not meant to be accurate but rather to give an extra kick to the enemy just before melee.

And no this thing cannot shoot spears it can only shoot iron or ceramic shrapnel and its range is very short only around 5 to 10 meters.

[Verumkai]

Saying that you are ignoring a question when you don’t have a response is inherently deceptive. It misleads others into thinking that you are purposefully avoiding the question, creating a false narrative. This lack of honesty erodes trust in communication.

When individuals claim to be ignoring a question instead of admitting they don’t have a response, they are essentially evading accountability. Open communication involves acknowledging gaps in knowledge or understanding, and using “ignoring” as a cover undermines the responsibility to address inquiries.

[KarstHillFort77]

Why should I be answering the questions of someone who constantly indulges in “India is greater than anyone else” and “everything originated from India” and who calls others names if they don’t agree? I don’t have the obligation to answer your questions cause I know you’re a biased person and won’t listen to what I said. Open communication involves actively listening to what the other says and being objective, and you fail on both criteria.

Stop replying to me you’re on my ignore list.

[Verumkai]

I wouldn’t reply I promise. Just do not say hate comments towards India.
