Roman armours?

[Sharky]

There are three clans with roman backgrounds, plus d'haran legions, and a lot of ppl would love to wear them.
Bring them please, think about how cool would be a ninjas vs legionaries battle!
Republican roman, Imperial roman, late roman, palatine armours, byz armours, bring them all! Or at least some of them

[Tears of Destiny]

I would honestly love this, even if it is just a few pieces.

I would really really love to see Roman armour in CRPG.  I have been asking for it for months and months , too bad I am complete newb when it comes to creating ingame items.

Roman and greek armors... ATS had made something, i wonder what happened to those armors.

Gorath created Hoplite body armour, head armour and 1 hand sword awhile back, but his computer blew up and he did not have the  files backed up .  I really wish I knew how to create ingame items, but its too late to learn, I am too busy now and soon going to get much busier.

That is a horrible fate for such sweet armors... 

[Korgoth]

Yeh I really want to learn how to model and texture because it can't be hard making some weapons. But I think Armour would be a pain in the ass.

[Torp]

i think it is a fine idea, and previous examples show, that if you make 2-3 nice-looking armors, chadz will add them in the next patch.
(i would also like to know how to make ingame items)

Actually, it is quite hard, especially texturing. I don't think roman armors would fit in, but then again we already got like 20% ninjas and 10% samurais, so...

[NuberT]

nah we have already too much equip which doesnt fit the timeframe.. we are in the medieval.. byzantine armors might fit much better

Yeah true, but the problem is that the majority (read as all but 1%) of medieval armor looks stupid or boring or both.  Historically accurate sure, but boring as hell.  No sense of style back then.  If we could have piecemail armor then it might not be so bad but we can't so meh.

Boring and lame

Yeah classical armours were just cooler. Plate armours looked gay, especially the most expensive one.

[NuberT]

perhaps one day we can have crpg-medieval and crpg-ancient servers. playing with the same char but with historic armors and weapons, without ninja and samurai crap.... nah wont happen

I am against this. The armor list even focusing on western europe alone has a massive time divergence for what was used when, and the weapons are even worse. Seeing people in a server using things from 800 to 1450 is a massive slap in the face for historical accuracy, so when I see a ninja suddenly run around the corner being chased by a Samurai a Seljuk Fari cav and a Conquistador, I just nod and grin thinking "Yeah this game is fun, look at all the shiny implements of destruction."

[Centurion]

As the co-leader of a roman clan all we need is 3 helmets 2-3 body armours. And a rectangular shield with central iron boss. A shield that covers from shins to nose.

Head armor
leather legionaire helm
Steel legionare helm
Centurions helm

Body armor
leather body armor
Old period mail armor
Steel segmented armor over mail

Optional body armor
A roman generals steel and leather armor with crimson cape

Ill look for pictures and code from other mods
