This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Did they use shields? I've wondered since playing a mod for warband that turns the game into Feudal Period Japan, but it's also hard as fuck to not die because archers abound but the modder didn't include shields because "samurai didn't have shields."

They didn't. Samurai were primarily mounted cavalry. They used bows and spears that required both hands. That modded should've made them armoured horse archers.
