Title: Remove the native names from the armours.
Post by: Panos_ on January 04, 2014, 11:25:08 pm
This thing always annoyed the shit out of me, we are proud that c-rpg is quitte the opposite of native , yet we keep some native armour names.

I suggest this.

Sarranid to Saracen

e.g Sarranind Guard Armour to Saracen Guard Armour


Khergit to Mongol

e.g Khergit Elite Armour to Mongol Elite Armour


Vaegir to Rus or Druzhina

e.g Vaegir Elite Armor to Rus Elite armour or Druzhina Elite armour


Also the Strange armours should be renamed to Samurai armours.


I know that these arent some serious game changing addons, but it improves the immersion a LOT.

I would actually do it vice versa as c-rpg uses Calradia realm and most of these armours don't fit actual European armours (especially native models). So I vote to change all Arabian to Sarranid, Mongolian to Khergit etc. just to underline that it's not about realism.

I suggested to remove the native names because everynew OSP that gets addon to the mod, has RL names and not calradian ones, doing what you said would be good aswell, but seeing that the majority of the weapons is non native names I suggested this.

That's because makers of those items want them to be called like that. Native items are made by TW and should stay as they are. I wish Zimke didn't give real life names to his work, but that is his decision and we should respect it.

Ok, hands down, we add Serbia to Calradian map. :mrgreen:

Bump because I noticed all the native names were gone, well done to the man who did this!

It helps the immersion a bit! Cheers

Actually screwed up. Sarranid for example sounds far better than Saracen or whatever.
