- It was common knowledge that longer weapons were a lot faster than their shorter counterparts.
- By spinning wildly you could cut your opponent with your extremely long sword, even when he was far behind your blade, and the move would still be considered a thrust. Soldiers capable of executing this highly random move were considered elite.
- Nobody used shields back then, but those who did quickly realized that using a buckler as a shield rather than have it follow and protect your sword arm, was just as effective if not more than using something that would actually cover most of your body.
- Visors did not impair your vision at all.
- The best way to beat plate armour was to punch right through it and apparently plate armour was soft as butter.
- Kicking would in no way compromise your balance and would certainly not leave you incapable of blocking attacks from a huge and fearsome morningstar with a much smaller sword.
- People with expensive equipment were considered better fighters for simply having it.
- Blocking attacks with a pike was easy and very effective seeing as it did not require any room or time to move around but strangely enough it was under no circumstances possible to deliver high thrusts with a pike or to brace it against the ground.
- Wearing plate mittens would save your life if you took a blow to the shoulder.

- Heavy doors and even huge gates could be opened by briefly touching said object resulting in people being pushed backwards on the other side.
- Picking up a weapon you found would force you to repair said item if it ended up being damaged. You were even required to pick up objects you had discarded earlier and repair those too.

- People were mainly Russian back then.
- Small Arabian horses were most common in Europe. Even knights tended to use them caring about nothing but efficiency.
- Knives and daggers were never used. Because of this many soldiers brought wooden daggers with them seeing as they wouldn't need real daggers.
- Upon dying soldiers could make their weapons disappear by shoving them up their arses.
- People would offer their friends useless things such as hats or stones for vast sums of money.
- Ageing didn't work like it does now back then. Age was meassured in combat efficiency.
