Before horses and metal weapons, they were really pretty helpless.
Something like 100 Conquestadors wiped out 10,000 south american
natives, because the swords went right through the reed "armor", the
horses could run down anyone who might be running to get reinforcements,
and the metal armor was immune to the clubs they natives had.
It's a pretty fascinating story, if you track it down.
