I still dont get, WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE WANT ROMAN REPUBLIC ARMOURS , Its just PLAIN STUPID. And WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU USING, WE HAVE PLATE ARMOURS ARGUMENT, its the only argument you have and its only half valid.
If we take away those generic cloth and plain mail armours, which were used trough many centuries, and which by themselve cant be put in a specific century basket, WE HAVE EQUIPMENT SPAN OF AROUND 5 CENTURIES, which isnt that bad. Now if you add these roman armours, EQUIPMENT SPAN WILL BE AROUND 15 CENTURIES.
DONT FUCKING ADD THOSE ARMOURS.
