My eyes are bleeding from this much color they used in medieval times.

Werent medieval armys littered with different abnners, colors etc thus makin them look like "rio carnival"?

The degree depends on the period and place but mostly, yes, the Middle-Ages were rich in color.

Even peasants were often colorful:

Dynamically colored armors are one of the better packs in the OP, where a lot of stuff in Fred's bunch of armors and Teutonic and Lithuanian items are anachronistic or pure fantasy armors.

As I thought, i imagined that in medieval times having fancy colored items would also be, sort of, status relating, and ofcourse in battle to distinguish eachother. i guess brown and blackish colors, which currently are associated with elegance and gentlemanship(i think

), where for the peasant folk.

The point of flashy colors was partly to easily recognise people on the battlefield. It is only during the early 20th that camo really became widely used by entire armies.

If you look at the actual mediaeval illustrations, as opposed to toy soliders (I had some of the ones in the first pic as a kid - I'm surprised they're still made) they show about the same level of colour we have currently on the crpg battlefield, although the artists still likely idealised the scene and made it more colourful than it actually was. On a battlefield, troops would wear the colour appropriate to the side they were fighting on - so these armours would be fine in a strategus battle... in normal battle, siege or dtv, however, every single colour will show up on both sides, making it a ridiculous riot of colour.

On a related note, one thing I keep proposing is that the Tabard be a heraldic item instead of being the current buff colour - a tabard is, after all, something worn by a herald!

This is actually funny to think about, colors like purple were a sign of nobility or wealth if I'm correct, because the dye for it was way too expensive.

I hope you are playing with banners off, or else I don't understand your problem. Colorful floating baubles on everyone's head are okay, but some color in armors isn't?

Also, it would be possible to make a submod that REMOVES the colors, but unfortunately, it's not possible to make a submod that ADDS them.

I have a question about all new items and old ones. My question is, why everything looks so low quality? Recently I've seen that new helmet Pot with faceplate was added, and it is just terrible. What bothers me, is the neck area, which looks just horrible. If you use your attack animation in certain ways, the neck area will look like out of it's place completely.

This problem is not only with this helmet, but with a lot of other helmets. Why those who create these helmets cannot make neck area look great just like Kettle hat with aventail? The neck area with this helmet looks great, it's sits nice on the shoulders, have no animation bugs, why there isnt more helmets with this kind of neck armor, that sits smoothly on your shoulders, and looks like a real part of the shoulder armor?

Also, wouldn't it be better to actualy fix and make look good all older armor, instead of adding new low quality armor? Heraldic mail realy needs to look like mail, not like a sweather.

Yeah same prob with Onion Top Bascinet, which I used for quite some time. Neck part being a bit wider and always sticking out unnaturally. This is why I now use Zitta Bascinet

If it takes lots of work, then we should start working on it already, if I could contribute to fixing anyhow, I would do it, why, becouse, I like faceplates.

zagibu · « **Reply #162 on:** March 06, 2013, 02:17:28 pm »

Okay, download Blender or Wings3d, learn it, read threads in Taleworlds forum on how to make models work for M&B, fix all the cRPG models, post them back here.
