Can't do this without completely shattering balance.

increase weight and upkeep for superheavy armors but add more armor rating. Simple as that. Make ovner move realy slow and maybe give more wpf penalty.

The title says "realistic". Plate armor wasn't really any heavier than mail, so plate armors would actually have to see their weights reduced.

It's a video game, not meant to be realistic or we wouldn't even have the game to begin with (so many things in the game are unrealistic).

i cant tell if troll or just EU with little understanding of how vidya games work.

either way sounds like a game breaking change.

IMO if you make plate realistic rondel daggers should be able to 1-2 hit plate wearers as thats what they were intended for.

str crutches mad because str crutches die of arrows. so they want arrowproof, slashnull, sword resistant armor.

They do that now

becouse it redicules how people are be able to kill you at the moment.

Preposterous ! How dare they kill you ?

Realistically, plate armor should cost like hundreds of millions of cRPG gold.

not really, it depends on quality and age, in 12th century for completely new armor, yes that would be accurate. but in 13-14th century, it would cost about same as horse. [for example english foot knights who wore plate armor, yet they fought on foot because horse was too expensive for them.]

The only way I can see making plate armour more realistic is if warband had a better hit...zone detecter? if it could detect wat kind of wep hit wat kind of area of a body and what kind of armour the person is wearing that would make it more realistic. that way we would actually have to aim for the joints of the armour to do damage if we werent using plate cracking weps. but warband sucks, wont see this happan in this game. maybe future games.
