Archive:Battle Hoe: Difference between revisions

The Battle hoe's were first introduced in the Battle of Cresvlits, firstly used by the socialists. They however were ineffective against the technologically advanced weaponry of the Cresvlits army.

Haiduc is the Romanian equivalent of Robin Hood. They existed during the transition from the medieval ages to modern times, as many of the had guns. They lived in forests and use to attack the rich and fight the police force at that time. They were rebels fighting against the rule of the Ottoman Empire. One revolt they were known for was the 1821 national revolution in Wallachia, led by Tudor Vladimirescu.

Though the Hoes proved effective in offensive battles, being able to tear down defenses, they would find usage in the defense as well. Still being a hoe, and as such a good gardening tool, it could still plow the land. This in combination with some water, created mud, effectively slowing down most enemy advances. The "Valerian" Doctrine based on that. Using the Battle Hoes, the land will be made into mud and when the enemy is to come, they will get stuck in the mud, them being at the mercy of the armies arrows/cannons. This however could be easily prevented if the land was either sand/stone, but the Cresvlitsin Plains and most of Prospit being fertile soil, resulted in this tactic becoming a favorite amongst the defense generals of the Kingdom.
