Roman Armor and Weapons

[[ptx]]

Mount&blade has a fictional setting.
Neither at 1257 nor anytime later did ninjas and samurais invade Europe.

[Gheritarish le Loki]

1257, Ok, of what time? After jesus christ or is it a chinese calendar?

[H3ADSH0T]

Warband campaign starts at.. 1257? Or something like that.

*Starts a campaign to check.*

Confirmed, Calradia campaign starts at 1257. 

And Calradia is a historical place and native is an account of real life in the 1200's. Yup

I wouldn't mind LATE Roman period stuff and Eastern Roman (Byzantine) stuff, but no lorica segmentata please.

[Armbrust_Schtze]

may i ask why we shouldn't?

[zagibu]

Maybe he just doesn't like them? Would you want to see kevlar vests and modern composite bows in the mod? What about stun batons or tazers? Yeah, the more items, the better, right?

way to exaggerate it

No, it's really not an exaggeration. The mod has a very flexible time frame, yes, but the bottom line is it's mostly high/late medieval, running into the Early Modern period and Viking Age at the ends. There's quite simply no place for Roman-era items in there. Even adding early gunpowder weapons would make infinitely more sense.

Byzantine stuff would work, though.

[Thucydides]

fuck you and your arbitrary settings. I want to recreate alexander the great and conquer caldira.

You realize vikings came before and during medieval times right?
800-1100

[okiN]

Yes, the Viking Age was basically the last part of the Early Middle Ages. Read my post again and spot your mistake.

I did mix up Renaissance and Early Modern, though, fixed that part.

Come on okin, to hell with historical accuracy,

The more armor varieties the merrier.

Let us add native american, carribean and papuan tribal armors and weapons!

[okiN]

Personally, I'd prefer to just remove the Japanese stuff and have a mostly Eurocentric focus appropriate for the time period. Let the colonies be damned; I think America had just about been discovered when the latest items in this mod were being used, anyway.

We have enough immersion-breaking stuff in there already.
