powercreep, get used to it. As a stone player I had to accept my favorite weapons were useless a few thousand years ago.

You just need to git gud.

Iron is dirt cheap, roughly 10% lighter and holds an edge a little better. Other than that bronze is better in every way. Really it was steel that truly killed bronze forever.

FUCK THE PHALANX CAVALRY IS COMING BACK

YOU LAUGH NOW BUT YOU'LL SEE

Depends what you mean by cavalry. Heavy cavalry did pretty well against some types of phalanx but it was light missile cavalry that right and truly fucked the formation.

there will never, ever be another cavalry-focused army of significance now that the Greeks went so gangbuster on massed spears

lel stay mad horsefucker, phalanxes will reign for a thousand thousand years

>Right now bronze has literally no advantages.
Bronze had a ton of advantages over early iron, but it needs an entire infrastructure and trade partnerships and tons of knowledge to make good bronze.

Iron took off because the bronze age civilizations collapsed and couldn't keep making good bronze anymore so people had to look for alternatives.
