If I had my way you'd be not playing a very different game :P

Hand to hand combat has no business in hunting. In PvP it has a reasonable role of nonlethal subduing your foe. We are not playing oriental kung fu masters, we're playing germanic warrior tribes. Use a spear, or an axe or even drop a god damed rock on their head but use a tool.

It's what separates us from the savages ;)

It certainly sounded like you were insinuating that Trav was calling Asians 'savages'.

I decided to nip that in the bud by redirecting your attention to the actual point.

"Unarmed" in this game shouldn't be considered 'martial arts', it should be considered 'brawling'. Possibly even something maybe resembling boxing. But not martial arts of any sort.

Also I don't think marksmanship should be considered general firing of bows, it should more be considered to be like archery
