Would a medieval nation or a modern industrial nation fare better in the zombie apocalypse?
Who would fare better in the zombie apocalypse: a modern, industrialized nation with tanks and guns and bombers, or a medieval European nation with solid stone-walled castles and experience using hand-to-hand weaponry?
You might think the modern military is the clear winner, but modern cities have no defences. Once a single zombie gets in, it’s all over; the entire population becomes zombified and all those awesome weapons of mass destruction are useless in house-to-house fighting. Medieval cities, on the other hand, have walls, bulwarks, towers, and ample defences, along with large armies of trained, disciplined warriors in heavy armour who are experienced in fighting ground wars.
What do you think? Would the Teutonic Knights have an easier time in the zombie apocalypse than the US Marine Corps?
