DONT COUNT ON ROMAN STUFF GETTING ADDED

[Visus]

Think of the Phalanx you could make with Greek armor.




I'm seriously giddy right now.

1 Major problem with these armours:

The arms and legs (and the skincolors to go with them) are part of the armour models.
This means that anyone with a dark skin will have caucasian arms and legs.

You can see this in the screenshot which shows the complete collection of armours/weapons. There are skincolored "sleeves" attached to the models.

Only way to go around this is to redo the armours and give them mail or leather sleeves.

No that would be bad, it wouldn't be Roman equipment anymore then.

Exactly the reason it's not being implemented. It would look VERY silly on everyone with the wrong skincolor.

no racisme or anything.
but black people were kinda slaves or still in africa in that time there were no black soldiers.
thus force evryone to be white!!:D.

You forgot nubian warriors!
(Also we need armors for Zulu!!)


Btw, there is no need to have a historical accurate roman armor, something that fit to both themes (Calradia+roman) could be better and more acceptable by devs (still, models with LoD are needed).

I'll let you guess which armor the "morion" goes with

half-cuirass, for example. The one, that western pikemen often worn in Renaissance times.
Also, Morion was worn by Swedes. So it's not only a Conquistador's helmet.

i dont see any reason why not to add this.
it would just add more RP, more fun etc , more diversity.
and if people say ye right an roman soldier vs an knight.
now u got arabian soldiers vs samurais well that makes no sense either.

[ArchonAlarion]

it is calradia afterall, and there is a difference between what is realistically possible, and what is historically accurate. I can argue that presence of both the early Scandinavian armors and the renaissance plate armors are not historically accurate.

[Miley]

I'd say not to add it until that skin is fixed lol!

I have nothing against adding new factions and armours into CRPG but these are not very well made. I have always wanted to pit historical armies against each other (a sci fi was written about it). For example Khans empire against Alexander the Great.

[Chen1201]

you could always change your skin to match the armor... just saying

It wouldn't work too realistic in M&B. Macedonian phalanx used shield and pike in one time. They had small shields (very bad against archer) but in M&B even buckler can stop every arrow shot from front. (from what I saw)
Also, it wouldn't work against infantry, because in M&B you can block infinite amount of thrusts at once just by holding down block. (what is completely ridiculous)

Sure, but if you hold down block you don't attack... once you attack you can be hit (i don't even talk of feint...)

I and everyone at the Phalanx agree
