As I heard that a new re-skinning for Tara Romaneasca will soon begin, than maybe I could help with some research
Typology of weapons used in the armies of Tara Romeneasca & Moldova during Late XIV-middle XVI centuries
The bow was the most used offensive weapon for Romanian armies, and only by middle XVIIth century did the firearms became much more common. The importance of archers for Romanians is mentioned since Early Middle Ages, if not even earlier. In the battle of Hindau in 1395, Antonio Bofini states that Stefan I of Moldavia “recruited a army lightly armed and a large number of archers”. Dlugosz talks about the archers sent by Alexandru the Good of Moldavia in support of Poles at the battle of Marienburg (1422), but also about the fact that if a peasants comes to army without bow, sword and spurs, he may be executed. While in a letter of Mihail I of Wallachia, the ruler promises to help the inhabitants of Cisnadie (in Transylvania) with “a band of our sagetasi (archers)”. A Byzantine chronicle from 1332 stated that Romanians are “most often mounted archers”. Paulo Giovio, Anton Verancsics, Italian travelers from XVI century both talked about the abundance of cavalry in the Romanian armies, with the latter even asserting (probably exaggerating) that “they mostly fight mounted, using footmen only to harass the enemy in mountains areas”.
Two types of bows were used: the common European bow, used by most archers (by middle XVth century, he have mentions about longbows) and the composite bow, which is less used.
The crossbow, although not used on a large scale, is nonetheless archeologically attested starting with early XVth century. For example in a contemporary document it is said that Alexander the Good of Moldavia ordered four large crossbows (called ballista or whirl bows) from Lvov, and in the 1445 siege of Giurgiu, crossbows are mentioned as being used by Romanians. Nonetheless, crossbowmen were not used as a special only crossbow unit.
As melee weapons, the most popular are the swords, widely used by all the military categories of the Romanian army. Both straight, double-edged bladed swords as well as curved bladed swords are widely used, although by middle-late XVI th century, the curved swords (scimitars) seems to partially replace the straight swords. For most part of XVth century, the most common type of sword used in the region was the double-edged bladed sword, with straight crossguard, and hilt ended in a disc.
Other weapons often used are the axes, various types of scythes, as well as halberds. The axes were used both by poorer soldiers, as well as by some boyars, which used axes of the type Hache d'armes, of various sizes.
The halberd variant typically Romanian, is the type with an small axe blade topped with a spike mounted on a long shaft. It always has a very curved hook or thorn on the back side of the axe blade for grappling mounted combatants. Such examples were discovered at Suceava, Cetatea Neamtului, Bacau, Buzau (all in Moldavia).
Also widely used were the clubs, especially by poorer soldiers. The mace was another widely used weapon, a special kind of mace, the topuz was the symbol of leadership or/and monarchy.
Lances and spears were frequently used by the Romanian armies, with the spears being the most popular. In the first quarter of XVIth century, a few chroniclers and foreign travelers mention a type of spear with two spikes, one for thrust, and the other for curved as a hook, useful against mounted enemies (guisarme pole weapon).
Martin Bielski, talking about the army of Petru Rares stated that it was composed of “brave soldiers, skilful in using the spear and the shield, although they are only stupid(simple, common) peasants”. A.M. Graziani (1564) mentioned that Moldavians “are armed with very long spears, shield, curved sword, weapons of Turkish influence, some use iron maces, and most use axes”. Another traveler, Giovan Andrea Gromo (1564) was reports that the Transylvanian infantry was armed with shields, yatağans, long swords, maces, and many with “wheeled arquebuses ”. They also “used lances (8-10 feet long), even the professional trabants use arquebuses, lances or yatağans. In late XVIth century, the dorobanti are mentioned using arqebuses and swords, while the cavalry uses especially bows. In the same period, the szlekers used “very few arqubuses, scythes, yatagans and short axes”. By 1620, it was estimated that Moldavia could mobilize “10.000 mounted archers, they are the bravest troop in this country, while Wallachia could mobilize 8,000 mounted archers,, but not as brave”
.
As means of protection, the soldiers used shields, of various shapes, made of wood or iron. According to Laonic Chalcocondil the shield used by Romanians were “large, long, similar to those used by tatars”. The heavy armours of XVIth century were rarely used, the Romanian boyars and curteni often used chain mails (often enforced with lamellar appliqués) and sometimes cuirasses. Heavy armors were mostly used by important military leaders or foreign mercenaries. In 1377, Radu I of Wallachia commanded from Venice 10,000 heavy armors for its soldiers. The poorer soldiers often used cuirasses made of rigid leather and filled with pieces of cloth and other textile materials. The Saxon geographer Georg Reciherstorffer, as well as the Italian Anton Verancsics relates that the “heavy cuirasses are very rare, only the richer have steel helmet and chain mail, as cuirass the use cloths filled with cotton or flax, 3-4 digits thick.” In 1569, the Moldavian ruler Alexandru Lapusenanu ordered chain mails, while 1574, the boyar Albu Golescu is represented on its tombstone wearing chain mail and steel helmet (calotte type).
The helmets were of various types. In the beginning of XV century, coins from the period, as well as fresco show soldiers wearing what looks like a simple bascinet, later replaced by sallet type helmets. Also very at popular, were the barbute and its derivate the close helmet.
Fire weapons were used starting with the first part of XVth century. The first gunsmith in the region is attested at Sibiu, Transylvania in 1373. In 1440s, Vlad Dracul of Wallachia was using two very large bombards, the same ruler was request in from Brasov, 100 guns, possible small portable fire weapons. The use of siege artillery is also attested as being used by Stephen III of Moldavia during the siege of Chilia(Kilia) in 1465. The ottoman chronicles noted the powerful effect of the guns used by the same ruler during the battle of Razboieni in 1476. The fixed, fortress artillery was also very used, especially the fortresses in Moldavia and Transylvania were heavily armed with artillery. The Moldavian prince Petru Rares (1527-1538, 1541-1546) even used organ guns, highly mobile field artillery.
