3. No fantasy items.

4. Historically accurate. 12-15 Century

5. You can post retuxture suggestions if you feel so.

6. Provide some information regarding your suggestions and the desired stats of your suggestions. (keep in mind that the last word regarding armour stats will come from the balance team)

The thread will stay open until next Sunday.

My first suggestion, is the Akolouthos armour, Akolouthos was the leader of the Varangian Regime, he was a native Byzantine hailing from a noble family
As you can see the colour is very nice, and I believe with a proper modeling will fit right in the mod!

Akolouthos Lamellar armour
Type:Body armor
Requirement:14 strength
Weight:16.8
Slots:-
Upkeep:800 gold
Shop price:11,434 gold
Value:5,717 gold
Body armor:48
Leg armor:9

And my second suggestion is the danish varangian armour, I like the full dark mail, and in all honesty, apart from the ugly hauberk, we lack a good  light medium mail armour , and also the new darker mail hauber will match the latest helmets that were made with the darker mail

I don't really care where/when it's from, but we need more armors in the 35-45 body armor range. Very few armors in that range are both of high quality and unique design.

This armor right there, apparently its on the MnB repository, but it needs proper rigging and some face fixing. Also comes with a helmet.

I don't know why but the thought of adding the Danish Varangian armor makes me think that the NA KKKlan will return.

That's an Archon's Armor with a different cape.

[zagibu]

What we need most dearly is a simple breastplate over gambeson, simple breastplate over leather and another simple breastplate over mail. No arm or leg plate, only the front torso body plate.

Something like this:

Maybe the same three armors with a front AND back plate could also be cool.

Otherwise I don't wish for new body armors (although I wouldn't say no either, more stuff is always cool), but for a rework of some of those that are ingame already, and don't fit well together with other equipment (sleeves clipping through gauntlets, calves not matching up with knees, etc.).

Archons armour is mail covered with padded leather, the Akolouthos armour is pure scale with some mail, the colouring maybe, and I repeat, MAYBE the same, but its not the same armour.

I think he was talking about this:

yes my bad, but still it`s not the same thing..

[Prpavi]

I would like to see Strange and Heavy Strange armors retextured like Light Strange along with according helmets and boots. Enough for me.

[Glyph]

why only 12-15th century? we already have gear spanning from the 5th through the 16th century. All Nordic arms and armor are earlier and black armor is 16th century.

because the majority of the armours is from that era.
