Adding in Asian gear but not including Native American gear

[Penguin]

Have the devs ever explained why this is so? We could have some cool diversity with the hairstyles, weapons, and garb the natives used during the medieval period. It's clear that the Natives had frequent contact with many European nations during these times as well. So why not add some Stone hatchets, primitive blunt clubs, and crude antler bows?

Hahaha.....

They should add native american gears, if someone makes the models.

NOT aztec or 19th century navajo or anything...those are too late period.

Vikings DID come into contact with native americans.  They called them "skraelings."
They were of the Inuit and Beothuk peoples, among others.  This was during the early medieval period.  Vikings had colonies in Greenland, Newfoundland, and even Maine.

If medieval knights can fight samarai in this game by association (knights fought arabs who fought mongols who fought samarai)...then we should also have native americans by association.

It would be cool.

And before that, Minoans had contact with Native Americans and Vikings aswell.

I highly doubt that.  Around Lake Superior is the theory I read.  That would be incredibly difficult and unrealistically amazing.

I`ll tell you why you believe this is higly amazing, because this is what the status quo want you to believe. (like the biggest lie ever, that the first alphabet was the pheonician and not the Greek)

In Scandinavia there are four monuments, Traelleborg (which many believe that it was a fort, while it was not), Esleholm, Firkat and Angersborg.

In 1900 an aviator noticed that those 4 monuments were aligned to each other, like a ley line, the important thing is that all those four "Viking" monuments, were aligned with the temple of Apollo, the Delphi temple.


And no, my post is not biased because I`m a Greek, Minoans were the first travelers all around the world and as time goes by facts and discoveries will make it all right.

Dont we already have crude blunt clubs? The issue i see with stone hatchets etc is that they are also crude prehistoric European tools, much outdated. Whereas Asian themed gear is totally different.

I also don't think our perception of Native American technology is accurate to the same peoples the Vikings encountered, Viking sagas speak of the highly advanced and powerful societies they encountered in that part of the world, not a gang of nomads waving stone hatchets. Whatever diseases we brought to America not only decimated the native populations, but destroyed their powerful civilisations, emptied their cities and led to total technological collapse. I don't think we'll ever truly know how advanced Native American culture was before we unwittingly unleashed an apocalyptic-scale plague on them, our only image of their culture is what was left after their world collapsed.

I think we can add cool native american items that can fill some weapon niches in game.  I had a few ideas, but don't know how to make models. 

Flatbow (another viable bow besides Rus/Long.  2-slot bow)
Chert arrows (maybe a very small number of weak arrows that take 0 slots)
Tomahawk (1-ammo throwing weapon that is actually good in melee)
War club (another 1 slot 1h/2h weapon)
Inuit Harpoon (like throwing lance, but weaker.  2 ammo)

I like those Ideas, but you need to make the weapons doubly effective against Caucasians.

[Johammeth]

Native American weapons?

How are the devs supposed to balance Slot Machines with all the other gear?

[Ulter]

What a brilliant idea. What next, Eskimo gear?

[Jeric]

What a brilliant idea. What next, Eskimo gear?

We already have that covered.

Tribal Warrior Armor + Pilgrim Hood + Hunter Boots + Throwing Lance

Johnny Depp is not amused.

We already have sticks, rocks and bows and arrows. And samurais were around during medieval times so I don't think that's strange. Knights also fought mongols as well

The native americans walked from asia to north and south america. They are asians.
