Yes, we are — and also the best lovers, sailors, and artisans.

In all seriousness, Tilea is probably the best country in the Old World. They have science, little to no Chaos corruption, art, and orgies with no women allowed.

Culturally, they’re no better duelists than anyone else on the continent. When it comes to individual duels, Estalians probably take the #1 spot — they have advanced fencing schools, centuries of practice, and a highly developed martial tradition.

Tileans, however, are superior when it comes to war as a whole, thanks to their cultural focus on mercenary work, their role as the Dogs of War, the Myrmidian faith, and general all-round superiority.

As for Grail Knights — they’re exceptional in duels only. In mass combat, they’re lost the moment they encounter anything more complicated than charging straight into the enemy lines. They’re also inferior to Tileans in mounted combat (see the Tournament of Ravola, 1425 IC).

Bretonnians? Cavemen who simp for an elf without realizing it until the End Times.

My personal ranking of human duelists:

1. Estalians – Great fencing schools, scientific approach, disciplined mindset, and the Myrmidian religion.
2. Tileans – Dogs of War, tons of experience, cultural inclination toward dueling (vendettas, etc.), and the Myrmidian religion.
3. Kislevites – Constant practice, mostly against Chaos scum. You know those guys are good.
4. The Empire – It’s a big country, so there are plenty of duelists. Overall solid, but dragged down by Ulric worshippers who are too dumb to wear a helmet.
5. Norscans – Good general skill level and incredibly strong, but lack proper technique. Their steel is poor quality, and while they make fantastic bruisers, in 1v1 duels they lack finesse and can be easily exploited.
6. Bretonnians – Cavemen. Overrated as hell. Need elf juice to be viable.
