Roman armours?

[Centurion]

Also most of the time armies had almost no uniform. Take english longbowmen. Many would wear either a tunic with your lords colors. A mail coat taken from the dead. Quilted cloth (western version of greek composite) a pretty leather jacket. Many wouldn't have boots or helmets. In movies and videos uniform was shown. Uniform was expensive and impractical for men who are gonna die. The romans and greens are by far the first users of uniform mostly because its intimidating and a morale boost. Also ninja, samurai,  saracens, russians, mongols, a tank of a horse, conquistadores, the flamberge, turks, norsemen and danes. I don't see a problem here its only like 8 or 9 items that are easily found in roman mods. I mean honestly you arnt really gonna make a difference from theme.

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

Late roman armours were used even after the fall of the western empire in all western europe, so i think late roman armours wouldn't be soo much anacronistic since there is already 8 century equipment.
Byz armours also should be in the mod since the eastern roman empire was a significant force for all the middle ages and their equip was renowed in western europe for all the dark ages, it's just wierd to just have that awful "byzantine" helmet in the mod.

Also late roman heavy cavalry armours would be awesome. Here you go a picture from one of those lovely osprey books. Masks were probably used just in parades but armours were used

lol
Medieval and reniassance western style (both clothing and armor) were probably some of the lamest fashions in history until disco and the 80's.  Oh and the current emo crap.

I dunno, some of the dresses looked absolutely gorgeous.

Ok so get this. Roman Segmented armor fancy cool not gay, good feel to it. If there's a back dude in viking stuff with a scimitar, knightshield, on a steppe horse carrying throwing lances. No sense. Some simple pretty roman stuff that's cool and easy. For fancy shit a full suit of scale armor with boots and all for eastern cataphracts that's fancy. Just stick with the roman mail, leather, and segmented armors and the helmets. Also a shield would be nice.

From what i have seen people like fantasy more than realism.

Hehe, Roman Cavalry Armor = Sarmatian, and so soon after the demise of the Sarmacian Raiders clan.

THIS IS DAMN BULLSHIT I SAYS! DOESNT FIT TO THE AGE AND LOOKS UGLY AND MAKES THE GAME LAG!

Lorica segmentata was actually used pass the fall of the Roman empire till well into the 6th century by mercenary troops, since the Medieval Ages start around 5 century and go till the 15th century that falls well into the "Game age" (whatever that happens to be).  Lorica segmentata fell out of use not because it wasn't a great piece of kit but because it was hard to make, it was expensive and it was harder to take care of. 

I am not even going to bother answering the game lag issue, since if we took this seriously we would all be running naked.

I support this

Roman AND Greek, my hoplite looks silly in mail...

Ok, we talk about an historic time line, why not, but i'm unable to find Calradia on our real world map...
I've never eard something about a Swadia kingdom in school, or even Sarranid.

It's a game and nothing is real, so why talking of history.

If items are balanced why don't add them, it gives more diversity.

Well, i will not wear roman armors but i'm for adding them in the game.

And I love you for that.

People seem to forget that one the Calradia is a fake place and two the factions in it have massively divergent technological gaps for the stuff that they use.

Im supporting this cuz I lead a roman themed clan.  Viking clans have their stuff, mongol clans have theirs, crusaded clans got theirs, arab clans even a freaking semi hoplite clan get some good looking stuff. No roman armours at all sigh. Its 6-7 things 3 helmets, 3 body armors ( 1 optional) and a shield nothing else needed

[gazda]

roman armours, then chewbacca armour then light sabres, laser guns, and then magic...
