  • The Youtuber Brandon F has a 4 part series talking about why they fought like this. Spoiler- it wasn’t because they were stupid.

    Part 1

    TLDR- if you split up you just get run down by enemy cavalry.

    Part 2

    TLDR- a close formation lets you concentrate your firepower at one point.

    Part 3

    TLDR- a close formation makes communication and controlling the army much much easier (or even possible at all).

    Part 4

    TLDR- the formation makes the troops less likely to run away.
















  • Same way as English, by combining preexisting words. For example, ether + net + port = ethernet port. In this case the first two characters (that’s what they’re called) mean “net” and “road”, combining to mean “network”.

    I think adding new characters is very, very rare. Would be kinda like adding a new letter to the alphabet.
