| Jul 11, 2018 at 16:52 | comment | added | AlexP | Quite obviously, the "most dangerous weapon a barbarian could develop against bronze/iron-age foes" is their mind. The foes have iron swords? Fine, this means that iron swords are available on the market. Buy some. The foes accept auxiliaries in their army? Great, have a few young men enroll. Remember the disaster of the Teutoburg Forest, when the Romans lost two legions? Arminius, the leader of the victorius Germans, had spent several years in the Roman army, had become an officer, and then came back to lead the barbarians. | |

| Jul 11, 2018 at 16:43 | comment | added | Aify | Actually, this site is generally way too upvote-trigger happy. For questions related to fantasy/scifi, we require that the person asking the question do 1) research, 2) define the requirements of the question very well (For example, "bronze age/iron age" is actually too large of a spread IMO (Note that I don't think having this requirement helps the question become more answerable)), 3) define criteria within which we can answer the question and answers can be judged objectively, 4) not be asking for discussion/opinion. | |

| Jul 11, 2018 at 16:41 | comment | added | Aify | This depends too much on what you're going up against. Furthermore, how can you have bronze/iron age foes if metal forging is off limits? The most effective tactic I see here is to ambush their enemies who clearly have superior equipment and take it for themselves. | |
