Up until the invention of guns combat had been honorable and entertaining (if your in to the gladiator thing) even so it was personal skill against personal skill. Now we just push buttons and the enemy dies. There is no art or form to it like when it was melee or archery based. Is it possible to create some sort of counter balance like better armor to make firearms less uninteresting and lethal, like some sort of armor or anything else ?
