With the new modles for loomed gear I think we could really make the current Japanese armour awesome.
Light Armour could have a banner added to the back and a mon circle added to the front at +1
Mid could turn into Tokugawa Armour, looks all dainty and shit

The helmets could go nuts and get crazy shit on them like the wierdo fish thing or the massive water spout thing. Just google Japanese Samurai Helmets and you will get what I'm on about.
And finally the stick at +3 could turn into "Musashi's Oar". The fabled oar that he fashioned into a killing stick whilst hungover on a boat heading to a duel on a beach with a fool.
Duel with Sasaki Kojirō
Main article: Sasaki Kojirō
On April 13, 1612, Musashi (about age 30) fought his duel with Sasaki Kojirō, who was known as "The Demon of the Western Provinces" and who wielded a nodachi. Musashi came late and unkempt to the appointed place the island of Funajima, in the Kanmon Straits separating Honshū and Kyūshū. The duel was short. Musashi killed his opponent with a bokken that legend says he had carved from an oar used on the boat that carried him to the island. Musashi's late arrival is controversial. Sasaki's outraged supporters thought it was dishonorable and disrespectful, while Musashi's supporters thought it was a fair way to unnerve his opponent. Another theory is that Musashi timed the hour of his arrival to match the turning of the tide. The tide carried him to the island. After his victory, Musashi immediately jumped back in his boat and his flight from Sasaki's vengeful allies was helped by the turning of the tide. Another theory states he waited for the sun to get in the right position. After he dodged a blow, Sasaki was blinded by the sun.
Musashi briefly established a fencing school that same year.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miyamoto_MusashiBut yes +1 to a Kimono, I want a proper Kimono with a front breast plate and the sleeves pulled up, like 25-30 body Armour no leg Armour and 5 pounds of weight or 5 arbitrary weight units. Would be great to make a Nodaichi nutter built for the charge.
lol there so op the papacy banned them
whih is why i do not understand why people complain about them in game this is how threatening they should be
I agree on the xbow front about the realism of it, but man its nasty in game dropping fools with my arbalest, some times I even feel a little bad, but I get over it.
