Board Thread:Warrior's Pub/@comment-5237438-20181206052643

Hello, I'm a newcomer here and I want to thank the people on the Discord for welcoming me into the wiki. With that said there's a battle on this site that already got my attention:

https://deadliestfiction.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Impaler5150/TRIBAL_WARLORDS_AT_WAR!!

The reasons why I think this needs a rewrite?

1) "Pana" isn't a sling. That's the Tagalog word for "bow". Antonio Pigafella, the historian who was transcribing the battle was quoted as saying "So many of them {the natives} rained down upon us that the captain {Magellan} was shot through the right leg with a poisoned arrow." Spears and rocks were also used, but there's no record of a dart slinger of any kind.

2) The punyal is a dagger associated with the Mindanao region. Mactan Island, Lapu-Lapu's domain, was in the Visayas region. While different regional blades crossing over was a possibility, I'm more inclined to believe the people of Mactan would be using Visayan blades that were readily available before pulling out a Mindanao blade.

3) This battle simply copy and pasted what Shaka's loadout in Deadliest Warrior was without actually researching historical fact. Even though Shaka disliked the assegai as a primary weapon, he never fully discarded it when he developed the iklwa, opting to regulate it to just a missile weapon. Why throw a perfectly good club when you have a spear made for that exact purpose?

4) The overall formating is a mess. While I can't promise any kind of X-Factor, I can at least clean it up with better weapon descriptions and more logical comparisons. Hopefully enough for you to make a fair evaluation.
