Roman Armor and Weapons

[Joseph]

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 too many /*"( &!"(%?! coming out of your mouth.

+1 to roman stuff

we have samurai and ninja stuff and I hope everyone else bring this up whenever people oppose to adding items 

[ManOfWar]

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.

The immersion be damned!

[Digglez]

every quarter a new culture/civ should be added with weapons from them.  And then also rename the name of the mod to 'deadliest warrior'!

[Myltinous]

What confuses me is that no one complains about the Samurai/Ninja aspect already in the game. Romans fit a lot better than Japanese warriors not because of the time frame but because of the environment they where exposed to. Take a look on one of the siege servers and you see Samurais attacking a stone castle. They didn't have those in Japan. Romans could fit in that situation though because they did attack stone walled cities and strongholds, and they did it using much of the same tech used in this game. Spend less time focusing on the time and more on the environment.

They did 

They just weren't the norm in Japan. In fact, some of the ruins of these castles still stand. Some scenes from the movie "Ran" were filmed in those castle ruins.

Everyone knows Japanese didn't have stones.

I don´t care because i would not wear this gear, but this fuckin idea of historical accuracy is plain bs.
Of which accuracy or time line are you talking about? 1257 ad? From what, chinese or aztek calendar?
What is history of calradia? It´s a fantasy world, nothing is real, i don´t remember studying swadian civilization in school, this is an adaptation, nothing more.

Btw, we have samurai armor because you could find it in garbage in SP mod, but where did it come from? An ancient civilization, a land far away in the sea? There is no weabo territory on calradia map.
Thus i don´t see why we can´t have an other such type of civilization, something that come from other lands.

As for immersion, it´s a joke, ppl mix the gear and armor with absolutly no style or any accuracy (best example weabo with an axe+shield).

[zagibu]

way to exaggerate it

What am I exaggerating? Please explain what speaks against kevlar vests but not against ancient armor.

So? Pointing out a bad situation doesn't excuse you for making it worse.

Way too many /*"( &!"(%?! coming out of your mouth.

What are you talking about?

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

Then why don't you do it? In your own mod.

your exaggerating it by making it sound as if adding it would destroy cRPG and that firearms would be better face it you personally don't like it so you dont want it which is fair, however it doesn't give you the right to  make stuff up about a historical time line because its a fantasy game in a fantasy world so stop talking crap.

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