I personally don't rank samurai that high on the swag list of ancient mercs.

Landsknecht were flamboyant af and from what I recall most were hired mercenaries with experience in wars

Look cooler and are more competent but katanas can cut tanks in half so idk
That one of the things I love about the Landsknecht, they had pure swag. After defeating the enemies forces they just sack the local town and put on random expensive silks and high born clothing layered on top of themselves and under their basic armor. Very cool 😎.

And if I remember right they basically took there whole family with them to run their camps for them while they were on battle, based and dad/family pilled.

"What it says about Landsknecht culture:
They essentially built a mobile village around themselves. Which fits perfectly with everything else about them, they were mercenaries who had opted out of normal society entirely. No feudal lord, no fixed home, paid in cash, dressed how they wanted, brought their whole lives with them."

Truly based and red pilled.

Yep, their wives would often trail behind and do all the "homemaking" whenever they'd set up camp during campaigns. I heard a story where they were told to fight their husbands if they ever tried to retreat from war. Unsure how true this is, but funny, nonetheless.

That truly sounds just so interesting and exciting, cozy as fuck considering. Probably the closest you'd get to being a real life gutz or being in the band of the hawk type shit.

Polish saber duels were pretty intense to be fair and the winged hussars clavary charging down at you would have been an amazing sight.



Much love for the polish brother.
