Germania tribes beat the Romans.

Full-harness plate armor actually spelt the death knell of knights. The golden age of knights was when they relied on chainmail, it was way more expensive and time consuming to produce chainmail and plate armor could be mass produce to equip commoners with.

We still have savage tribes despite having bombs that can flatten cities (not even mentioning nuclear ones) and ships that can hit targets from miles away.

I don't understand what is wrong with you Puckee. What's wrong with you. I have to know.

Traditional games?

Germans kept getting their asses beat by Romans for most of Rome's history, though. By the time things reversed, Rome had already fallen far from its greatest heights, while the Germans weren't exactly savage tribes but ordered kingdoms.

For one, my setting is evolving into more of a prehispanic Mexican one rather than another non-Europe.
For two, cavalry still exists since everyone descended from marooned spacemen but it is mostly the savage tribes that make use of horses.

Yes this is a thread about verisimilitude, this is an important part of many tabletop games.

There will always be luddites and there will always be those who absolutely cannot learn even if, say, the tech their enemies are wielding are stick with stuff on it vs the tribe who has nothing but stick and "stick with stick"

Eradicating them should be easy, if not for the fact that there will always be some other tribe who will regress either by choice or because they couldn't scrounge up a mage or plates. It's more of a question of how your band of players deal with them and how will the DM roll with their decisions

The world is huge
Also knights and mages require civilization and large amount's of resource surplus to operate.
Savage tribes do not have such a restriction so can operate in far flung areas it's very difficult for civilized folks to get to or stay for long.

The powerful knights and mages are rare.
There are LOTS of savage tribes, bandits, monsters, low level knights and mages out there.
Sometimes a few of the powerful knights and mages are the ones causing the trouble, using the savages, bandits, monsters, low level knights and mages to attack each other.

A world shouldnt be static and set in amber, it should be fluid and dynamic. It's a constant cycle, the higher level you are, the less likely you are to survive for long, due to your more powerful competitors gunning for you. The lower levels slowly advance to the higher levels, getting pruned on the way, with the lucky few replacing the previous, then getting knocked off themselves in the never ending conflicts.

Militarily, the Romans lost, fair and square, but culturally, over several centuries, they won, because the northern barbarians ended up adopting their culture. So how did the Greeks and the Romans beat the barbarians in the end? They civilized them, in a strange type of victory in which both sides won, leaving behind no losers.

>>97938682
Wow, my man here explaning win conditions in the latest civilization games.

>>97938728
It's heartwarming.

Militarily Romans kept winning for most of their history, though.

Woaaah this barbarian illustration is fantastic! You really know how to choose the greatest pictured.
Great image, is that a barbarian man? This probably is the best male barbarian picture ever!

I wouldn't even dislike Puckee if it weren't for the fact his taste in art is just so fucking insipid and boring. It's always such tepid dogshit. This is what the AI was supposed to automate. There's never any style, there's no flare, no emotive content or connection to it.
There's an entire GALAXY of amazing, interesting, inspired, artists online who'd love to have some autist throw money at them and Puckee is always getting shit that looks like corporate concept art or otherwise plucked from some stock image site, and it's just fucking miserable.

>>97930614
barbarian tribes have powerful anti-gay fields that prevent them from being killed by magical thoughts, especially homosexual ones.

>>97930614
How are there still dog shit character art commissions for you to be posted on this website?
God I hope you get some type of disease that ruins your body but doesn't kill you, puckee you shit slurping scumfuck

>>97939170
Yeah I'm fascinated with why every single one of his character art commissions looks so similar?
It's hard to explain, but I can basically identify one of his images just out of glance, it's always a full body portrait, kind of fantasy looking, always in the same aspect ratio, and with the same type of framing in the background.
I don't know if this is all coming from the same artist or what, but it seems like some type of template that is used.

The art he posted was any good, I might even be on board with his threads, but they just look genuinely terrible
