Roman / Greek Armor

[Miwiw]

There's a difference if you say "ancient Roman / Greek Armor" and "Roman / Greek Armor", as second obiously refers to the Byzantine Empire, and we got gear of theirs.

Ancient Roman /Greek Armor simply doesn't fit and most don't want any of it.

Well we already have Roman style sword (Spathion) and Board Shield and Greek style helmet (Barbutte). I was thinking about this the other day, we have Nordic Swords and rapier-style Espadas, i can assure you we are dealing with vastly different historical periods. Some of those 1handed swords are contemporary with muskets, so let's not get too sniffy about the idea of getting armour from a marginally earlier period, especially when we already have some gear from the era. So what's not to like?

Viking/Saxon are contemporary with Late Roman Empire. Ancient Greece is pushing it, but i wouldn't judge if they brought it in. Hell, if they made a onehanded Bronze Sword i'd use it xD even if it had justifiably shitty stats.

Spathions were even in the 12th century, same with all the other stuff you mentioned. The Board Shields for example were pretty popular in the medieval world.

Well the roman empire fell 1453 AD (the East side) West fell 476 AD, but as you said shouldn't there be Roman Armor then? They had territory in 453 years during the timeline you described.

And lol. Your knowledge of history seems rather poor. Might I suggest you stop posting about it?

You guys forgot to mention the skin factor.

History aside, Everyone knows that armours that show skin just don't work in M&B, hence there isn't any on crpg, nor will there ever be.

If by some stroke of retardation, Roman-Greco armor is added, the stats would be suitably shitty. There's a reason why it was eventually no longer used...
