Should Native North American / South American Gear Be Added?

[njames89]

Interested to see what kind of support the idea of adding Native American / South American gear to the game has. Please answer the poll and feel free to discuss in the thread.

Personally I think it would be good to add some Mayan/Aztec gear and more nataive American gear to the game. I realize it clashes with the European focus of the mod, however, we already have samurais/ninjas/deli cap warriors and I think the added variety could benefit the mod.

Looking forward to hearing some opinions on this and seeing if the community is interested.

Seen here the warriors are using Ichcahuipilli Armour (Heavy Braided/Quilted Cloth)

The weapons they are using are Macuahuitl (Obsidian Bladed Wooden Swords)

Medicine Shield, sometimes decorative but also used for protection. Would need to tone down the feathers on these

I wouldn't suggest adding in any mainly decorative or excessively intricate pieces. But that being said I believe some of the items could complement the game well.

Go ahead and add them, the 10 people playing might enjoy them.

Macuahuitl isn't South American, if you wanna be pedantic (and I always do).

[Asheram]

If you are adding Indians then you need to add cowboys and guns.

Heard native americans used siege ladders on their castle assaults. That means you need to add ladders again.

Missed that part of history class I guess. But ladders are already back!

[Ikarus]

wouldn't take long and people would ask for roman armors aswell, or indian armors from the late 18th century

I appreciate the motivation but nah, that'd kill the immersion for me

it already kills the immersion for me when there's pistols in some native servers, although they were already in use around the 13th/14th century

[njames89]

Pistols obviously will never be in the game. That being said I don't think that these items would be any more out of place than samurai armour or lederhosen on the battlefield.

Certainly nothing from the 18th century would be added. I would say the cutoff is probably 15th/16th century.

The GK tdm pistol is fun if you can get to it before dying.😀
Does it ruin your immersion running around in circles fighting in ways that those who wore the armor you like never fought in?

It breaks my immersion when retards wear mismatched armor from a bunch of different cultures and eras already. Add on roman armor as well! Add as many diff armors as possible.

Is it possible to give some sort of set bonus to people who use appropriately matched armor? Would cut down on tard combinations.

[njames89]

Personally I don't think these items I have listed would be very out of place considering the things already in game. I also don't foresee any large percentage of the server playing this style of character at the same time. So I don't think it would be too immersion breaking for me personally. I understand the arguments against them though.

[Asheram]

Can you add instruments and standards that give buffs to nearby team mates like Napoleonic wars has?

[Thryn]

i don't think it should be added, i like the majority eurocentric medieval feel of the mod and i think going outside of that ruins muh immersion

i like the mongolian stuff b/c mongols had a presence in europe throughout history but japanese, north american, and south american peoples did not have any sort of foothold during the high middle ages that the game centers around

i think these armors are a bit outside of crpg's scope, but regarding the japanese armor: it's extremely popular and is already in the game, no reason to mess with it and piss off the weebs

I think adding them will truly drive home the feeling of absolute death that the mod is trying to portray.
