The primary deciding factor I use to pick games I play is realism.   And yet I approve of roman equipment.  As the best comment said there is already time gaps between armors existing in the fake land of calradia.

If you really are for this Idea I suggest going into the taleworlds forums. Buried in there is someone who made lots of roman equipment and modeled it for this game and has it ready to add.

Also I think (think)  that I remember chadz saying if someone gives him the models he will add it.
If your name is on either of these 2 lists: http://goo.gl/0SEqf -- http://goo.gl/I3SFf

Yep, what Kharn said, as long as you have the models. Much like what happened with the new one handed swords and the Bill hook/ Swiss halberd.

Yeah true, but the problem is that the majority (read as all but 1%) of medieval armor looks stupid or boring or both. 

*pictures*

etc

Just throwing it out there that the King Arthur armour is completely anachronistic.  I watched the movie in a room full of medieval history scholars and it was received as a comedy - especially Keira Knightley's accent. 

EDIT:  They still look cool though and I'd love to see them added, just not labelled Roman armours.

The whole idea was style, not historical accuracy.  Historically most crap had no style, which is boring, which is why in entertainment things are spiced up so they're not as boring.  This doesn't mean going completely into the realm of fantasy/anime, but a general stylistic sensibility.

I understand why, however I think it's rather comedic that a bunch of history scholars watched an action movie expecting anything more than an entertaining action movie.   :mrgreen:
I mean, you don't watch the history channel's medieval special for great acting and action sequences do you?
And I should be nice or polite to anyone.... why exactly?

Oh they knew what they were getting into.  It was while I was taking a course on Celtic Mythology and we watched the movie as part of our "Celtic myth in modern society" unit.  The prof did it on the class' suggestion and made a movie night of it, where people could bring popcorn and shout at the movie.  My preference was to watch some Stargate episodes but I got overruled by Clive Owen fans/women.  Turns out, though, that there's actually been a fair bit of scholarship about the movie that's pretty interesting and accessible.  Most of it is analyzing the movie from a cultural perspective, though, not as a historical piece.
