Trebuchets, which btw are far superior to catapults.

I just really like walking around eating giant turkey legs.

Perpetual stew, good architecture, and no Twitter

That's not cool man...

They said medieval, that is way too late.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I dunno, that was invented to make beheadings more humane...let's go back to an axe.

Welcome to the internet.

Have a look around.

Inns, especially if they've got an enormous pot of perpetual stew, and people are giving out quests.

There was perpetual stew?

[–] DoYouNot@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That sounds an awful lot like restaurants and jobs...

[–] MeetInPotatoes@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, but tavern wenches are assumed to be included.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Inns like that existed during the enlightenment up through the invention of the railroad. In the medieval era you slept in a church or maybe someone's home.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Inns existed in large cities during the medieval period.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Public stockade.

Peasant uprisings, to take down the kings of today.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Medieval peasant uprisings were inevitably put down and the perpetrators brutally massacred, and also their families.

The first successful uprisings weren't until the 1800s.

I recently got into armored combat so, knights. If we're gonna kill each other, let's at least be civilized!

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords as a basis for a system of government.
