In Knights & Brides, players can build a basic Torsion Catapult by gathering supplies, creating craft sticks, adding the throwing arm, building the base, reinforcing the arm, and attaching the bottle cap. To complete the School of Magic, players must create two more adventures. The Royal Couple needs players to explore the new land, Golden Sands, which was covered in fog for a long time.
The Lake of Sorrow is a location in the Faraway Lands that can be reached via the airship. It lies north of the Kingdom and has an island on it. Colonies are transformed travel locations that allow the collection of rewards and continued use of the main building and its production function. Players can create a clan in the Clan Tower, which costs 1000 Lanterns, 100 Love, and 10 Cuirass.
The Catapult or Siege Engine is a structure found in travel areas that can be restored and supplied with ammunition to destroy Bandits Guard Towers. Players can find a Siege Engine/Catapult and build it before firing it at the Bandit Tower. Collect Bright Coins in Sunwoods to upgrade it, and use Spring Power from Bright Crystals to learn Energy Magic from the Doctor of Botany.
In addition to building the catapult, players can also collect decorations from the Cloud and turn them into decorations. Knights & Brides offers free bonuses, energy, and resources in mini-games and giveaways, including Bandit Towers, Catapults, prisoners, and the Wizard Tower.

📹 The King – Duel Scene
The King 2019 Young Henry V encounters deceit, war and treachery after becoming King of England in the 15th century, in the …
Really found myself enjoying the whole duel but especially the opening half-swording move at 1:12. Tons of medieval literature talks about knights dueling being more like wrestling too, with grappling and tripping and beating. Too much armor to just slice someone like a movie, you gotta wear out the other guy so you can finish them or get them to yield.
The Wheezing and heavy breathing really did it for me. As a HS Wrestler, we had 3 2-minute periods, which was up from 3 1.5-minute periods in Middle School. It took some getting used to. I think College might be 3 minutes, then 2 and 2 … ANYWAY – people have NO IDEA what it’s like to go 101% of your abilities in heated battle against someone else giving 101% themselves. AND THAT DOESN”T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT a motherfucking suit of Medieval Armor and sword etc. This was a very realistic scene to me and it’s a damn shame Hotspur had to die so quickly, he was a badass in this. But so was Hal, of course.
Goes against what we all thought is a PROPER fight, but this scene, including them barely breathing, is the real deal. Especially the ending with Edward tripping him, and ending it with a small knife. I think it’s one of the reasons they used big lances and big swords only in tournies back then. Can’t really kill a fully armored knight with these weapons.. well mostly.
If you pause at 2:22, you can see the sword going straight for the connection between the helmet and breastplate. And since that area is protected by chain mail, slashing is not going to deal too much damage, so he is going for a thrust. Very accurate fighting, much better than other movies where they are slashing around, making cinematic but useless moves.
Very well made scene. The poniard, or long dagger like the one used here, is to European knights as the tanto, or very short katana, is to Japanese samurai. Both are hidden on the wearer and when a duel devolves into grappling and one or both fighters lose their swords, a poniard or tanto is often deployed to lethal effect. One might think that this may have been considered “dishonorable”, but surprisingly, it was not, because such a tactic took place DURING the course of the combat, and thus was not considered an ambush or cheap shot. In China and Korea during this same time, duels were fought at 21-40 paces with bows. The Chinese dueling code was very similar to the western code of the handgun duel which came later in the 1700s. If an arrow fired by either side caused death or injury, or missed, but inflicted sufficient enough fear to compel one party to call off hostilities, the duel was over, and further combat or ambush occurring outside the sanctioned dueling window would be regarded by the law as assault, attempted murder, or murder.
I saw a article demonstrating different techniques used by armoured knights including hand to hand, half swording, parrying and eventually capturing or killing the overpowered opponent with a dagger. This is basically all that put into use. I also like that they were out of breath within a minute of fighting instead of other movie fights that go on for 20 minutes without any sign of fatigue.
a couple things i really like that i dont think anyone is mentioning one the music or almost lack thereof, its just a low hum that seems to go on throughout the entire duel. it isnt this loud explosive music but instead very quiet and subtle. it really makes it feel tense and scary in a way, not horror scary but just extremely suspenseful the second is the camera work. too often in fight we have like a dozen cuts in less than 30 seconds most of which are extreme closeups to the point that you miss most of whats going on aside from a fist hitting someone in the face or whatever. instead with this we usually see all of if not the entire body of both knights so we see everything that is going on in the fight. it isnt disorienting and it feels like you’re actually witnessing a brutal duel
The scene was brilliantly done.shame this never happened the two never had a duel and the battle of shrewsbury was one of the biggest medieval battles ever to take place in Britain with many hundreds of casualties. Hotspur was killed at the battle and was divided into pieces and sent to different parts of England to show whzt happens if you dont behave. Eventually he was brought back together and buried supposedly at york in secret.its a shame tthis battle was just ignored but maybe the budget wasn’t enough. And the battle of agincourt was again brilliantly filmed but again not accurate which is a bit bonkers because the actual battle was just as crazy.
For those commenting about the lousy armor that lets a knife through… The knife slit into the throat from under the chainmail. To keep the armor mobile enough some crucial anatomical part were left unprotected, hence the need of a chainmail. That was exactly the reason why arrows and especially crossbows could be very dangerous for a knight. Also armpits and lumbar area were left quite unprotected.
Watched this movie, simply mesmerizing, could watch it again. Actors are spot on, every scene is carefully thought through. Lines are immaculate and simple, right selection of words, giving it a touch of yet more realism. Everything in this movie is perfectly done there’s not ONE scene where i could spot an imperfection or something that could have been done better. Thimotées acting is the icing on the cake. To anyone who hasn’t watched it yet I strongly recommend to do so and grab a lot of popcorn.
The poniard (dagger) used here may have had a serrated edge, but it was mostly used as a piercing weapon to get past armor. In this case, it found a way through the neck area and likely into the guy’s brain. Can you imagine having that pointy metal go under your chin, through your mouth and sinus and well into your brain cavity? Pain! 💀 You can actually hear it hit metal on his second (and last) push.
A crazy thing I learned about fighting in plate, is what they call “helmet horror.” Essentially, when you breathe quickly and shallowly, the only air you’re breathing in is the CO2 you just exhaled into your helmet. This causes you to feel like you can’t breathe and you begin to panic. The way you solve this is by slowing your breath down and focussing on taking big breaths, so that you breath past the CO2 and actually get some fresh air as well!
Yeah dueling isn’t valiant parrying of swords like in game of thrones it’s a life or death fight that you do any and all things you can to survive including grappling, tripping, wresting and punching. Also trying to find the weakness in the armor where you can slip your blade in to deal a killing blow. Very fast-paced and tiring. I would put a wager that a good portion of men were killed in battle because they were so exhausted that they couldn’t defend themselves. Love this movie
Really goes to show why european martial arts differ so much to eastern martial arts cause I could swear some of those sword moves I’ve seen in actual sword training manuscripts from medieval times and by far the most realistic part of this is when both fighters just need a quick second to catch their breath
Historical fight’s even the more “disciplined” were wayyyyyy more ugly than Hollywood will ever understand. In a true life-or-death fight you use whatever opening you can. Even if it maims, is excrutiating, or is quick as a bee-sting use whatever means to win. Honor may be an important value to hold dear to ones heart, but it means almost nothing when you die because of it.
While I like the scene, the exhaustion after 15 seconds of battle is a little bit enoying. While a complete amateur that steps into a boxing ring might be exhausted in under a minute of sparring, a professional boxer can last dozens of times longer. These guys should be trained in wearing armor and moving and fighting in it and should a least be able to do so for a few minutes. I know its mostly about breathing and heat, but this also can be trained to a level where they don´t collapse after swinging their sword 5 times. It´s over the top.
As someone who has fought in full armor and steel weapons knows death comes when you hit the ground — or are concussed from a mass weapon such as a bill/glaive. In the battle scene you see peasant soldiers take down armored nights. In “Outlaw King” you see the nobles training peasants tactics to unhorse and kill an armored knight.
I have done a lot of full contact martial arts in my life. I can say without a doubt ‘HEMA’ Historical European Martial Arts was the single most brutal activity I have ever tried. I only did it maybe 4-5 times with Owner of the Coffee shop I worked at during college. I remember being left so black and blue everywhere it hurt to take a shower or a bath. When you get hit in the head with a ‘rap shot’ while wearing a helmet it is called getting your bell rung. The effects are so painful and jarring it knocks any sense or perspective out of your head for about 30 seconds. Love this movie, once I saw this I knew Timothy S. would be perfect for Mua’dib!
My thoughts: (Warning: very long) 1. Sword blade profiles are bad–when fighting against someone in full plate, you pretty much exclusively use thrusts to gaps in the armor: palms, inside of elbows, groin, armpit, and in this case, throat. Because of this, blades became very rigid and pointy to maximize their effectiveness in this situation.\r \r 2. Swords suck against armor, especially plate armor, so in this situation, a technique called half-swording was used. Basically, your left hand grabs the middle of the blade to gain much better leverage, and you use the blade like a short spear to thrust into gaps.\r \r 3. Armored combat often became deadly wrestling matches. I like that TC’s character finished his opponent with a knife to the throat, as that was one of the most effective ways of dispatching a man in full armor. However, the fact that they bothered trying to whack each other doesn’t make a ton of sense. Sure, if you hit someone in the helmeted head as hard as you could a few times, even with a sword, it’ll start to hurt them, but they were not going about it in an efficient way. Apart from half-swording (see #2), a German longsword technique called a mordhau or “murder-strike” was sometimes used. For this, the sword was gripped on the blade with both hands, and the wielder would then strike with the pommel or quillons (crossguard). As there is more mass concentrated around the hilt, this hits much harder than just striking with the blade, and was therefore more likely to daze or concuss one’s opponent.
I really really enjoy how it starts of how you imagined a duel like that would go. As if it belonged right in a fairytale. Two Knights dueling and as the match continues the honor can clearly be seen fading and it’s very simply two men fighting in the dirt. The idea of honor and glory aren’t present and it’s simply survival. Don’t get me wrong, I can absolutely see this would play out in real life. For instance, in Hollywood you watch a fight scene and it’s two guys throwing punches in very choreographed sequences, it makes for a good action bit but it’s not real. An actual fights starts of with a few punches and then devolves into grabbing, pulling kicking, strangling and squeezing (in regards to head locks and what not) which is exactly what is shown here except with swords.
I really like this fight. I mean their handling of the swords isn’t really that good, they basically fight like drunken dudes with baseball bats, but the aesthetics of the fight is really cool. It starts as this glorious fight of honor and then becomes a glorified schoolyard brawl. It really breaks with the common, modern expections how such a duel has to look like.
I love this film, but I have one small problem/question with it. Shouldn’t Timothée be more… jacked for this role? I mean that armor should weight a lot, even while being prince’s armor (top class). His psysique doesn’t seem convincing to me for a warrior he’s portraying, for me he looks too skinny. Yes, he’s athletic, but could he really move and swing like that with all the added weight? Not only in this scene but also in others. Anyway, i like the fact that exhaustion is shown, and i like him as actor in general. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you.
A duel between two fully armored plate mail combatants wouldn’t be fought with swords in the traditional sense. They would be utilizing their swords as a mace, inverting their hold of the sword by gripping the blade with their leather-lined gauntlets & utilizing the blunt pommel & guard as bludgeons from which to target their enemies ribs or head. This stance is commonly referred to as ‘half swording’ and was often used in situations where two heavily armored knights faced each other with only swords for weapons. The reasoning for this is because neither can cut the other, save for aiming at the difficult to target joints or perhaps a gap within the faceplate; so it is better to use blunt force trauma to break bones and cause internal bleeding that way to finish off your opponent. All that plate isn’t going to save your head from getting caved in by a hard whack to your temple.
I’ve seen a lot of comments here saying how the cuts with the longsword were unrealistic and how they should have either used maces or thrust attacks. I would disagree and say the way they fought in the film was very realistic. Cuts vs thrusts – Compare it to MMA or boxing. To knock someone out you could use your big hook/kick to the face, but do you? No, it’s too risky, and you’ll get hit with a swifter, less damaging blow by your opponent. Instead, modern day fighters use testing blows to weaken (kicks to the shin, punches to the arms) and body. A blow with a longsword is easily comparable to a testing blow. Sure you could go for the stabs, but to stab through the vulnerable part of the plate would require you to be very close or very precise. It’d be much easier to land a heavy cut and repeatedly bruise/tire your opponent before going in for the killing stab. Longsword vs Mace – A mace would certainly do more damage, however if you’ve ever picked one up or done any HEMA you’ll realise quite how difficult it is to score a hit on someone with a mace if they’re using a longsword. Maces are typically heavier, slower, and less easy to recover from a missed hit with. On a battlefield when you’re mostly hitting people in the back a mace or a hammer would be perfect (as depicted later in the film), however if you’re in a dedicated 1v1 duel and you bring a mace, it’s likely to be so much slower, with so much less range, than a longsword that you’re not going to be able to actually land any of your big powerful blows.
I remember my first fight were I had to choke out knock out or sumitt my opponent to leave the ring.. Went on for ever and I lost my first two fights were I had to fight a new fresh opponent again. Everyone big and bad till about 1 minute in. Most guys would have a heart attack or stroke doing that in full armour because lets be honest with each other here most aint fit to fight.
Even a Polybian Roman Legion would annihilate a Medieval army of the same size before gunpowder. Idk why, the tactics and equipment, and just the amount of godly leaders and generals of the Iron Age make me wonder just how bad would they and all of their cultures mop the floor with a Medieval Army. Before gunpowder, I give it to the OGs. After gunpowder, I give it to the Medieval armies. Keep in mind, I have been studying all sides and histories and eras of warfare since I was a little kid, it is not just off bias alone that I would give the win to a Roman Legion or Macedonian Phalanx.
Everyone is soyjaking over this scene but tbh it still has major flaws. This depicted two stumbling fools who tried using their swords traditionally on each other, rarely half swording. I will say Timothee half swording to grapple at the legs was brilliant. But they should’ve been using their swords with a hand on the blade to guide them into each other’s mail spots for the most part, and of course grappling as well. This scene is a monumental step forward, but it was too clumsy and unskilled.
At about 1:17 he has his blade on the seemingly lightly protected backs of both of his opponent’s thighs and yet somehow doesn’t decide to hamstring him right there and instead uses his blade as leverage to take him to the ground. He’s very lucky he manages to trip his opponent later and stick him with his dagger.
I like the fight and that armor worked but they really got tired fast. Having worn and fought in the stuff it’s not really heavy. It’s applied across your entire body. And note that those guys were trained as children to wear and fight in that stuff. They would have been in peak condition. Knights were no slouches.
Everyone seem to point how realistic the scene is, well if its a duel between two man trained man wearing armour, what is the purpose of swinging at each other with swords? 1. It wastes energy, energy that is needed for wrestling that eventually come. 2. They are both trained man, they understand how armour works, slashes would never go through the armour, and won’t do enough concussive damage to justify the amount of energy spent. My conclusion, the fight isn’t that realistic as people in comment section make it to be, and meant for entertainment. It does have good parts like wrestling, depicting lack of air and struggle, usage of close helmets and usage of daggers in close fights.
At this time, the knights would all be wearing their arms on a jupon or tabard. And these are people who have been trained since they were knee how how to handle a sword so you did not lose it and certainly stay on your feet. In a battle or tournament, losing your footing meant certain death – learning not to do that was central. Not accurate at all.
