“Even after forcing their way, with great effort and loss, through this double 
defence, [the Germans] still found themselves at a disadvantage; for their 
armour scarce enabled them to contend on equal terms with the uncouth but 
formidable weapons of their adversaries. The Bohemians were armed with long 
iron flails, which they swung with prodigious force. They seldom failed to 
hit, and when they did so, the flail crashed through brazen helmet, skull and 
all.”

-James A. Wylie, _The History of Protestantism_, vol. I, book 3, ch. 15 
“John Huss and the Hussite Wars”. 1878.}}
{{crawlquote|This weapon falls into the [[Maces & Flails]] category. It is a one handed weapon.}}

The '''flail''' is a common, moderately powerful one-handed weapon, a step up from a [[mace]]. Although it's a little less powerful than a [[morningstar]], it's faster and more accurate, making it a fair choice for the early game. Still, upgrading it as soon as possible is advisable.
