Should Native North American / South American Gear Be Added?

[the real god emperor]

A medieval European, a Seljuk Turk and a Mongolian Raider having a fight in one of the best medieval combat simulators and on the horizon, appears a dude wearing tiger pyjamas and holding a weird stick, kinda ruins the immersion imho.

Well I disagree completely but I respect that it appears a large portion of players do not want equipment of new cultures added in.

[Thryn]

I understand the arguments against them though.

wtf this guy is trying to be reasonable

how did he become admin

Then enter the Plate donkey riding wedding dress wearing Torch wielding party goers. There's already enough in that might ruin that immersion. I don't see why not add in another kind of immersion breaking armour.

I don't see the point in adding a load of weapons made of stone and sharks' teeth - European and Asian gear will win every time, as happened in history.

Idk I quite like the idea of adding Native American armor. Crpg was always (not sure about 2011 years) western euro knights using bardiches and scimitars vs Russia bois using katanas and long bows vs steppe bois using longswords and pikes etc anyways.
The only people I ever saw on NA actually following any kind of immersion/historical theme was Acre, a Byzantine clan (I think is EU) and a couple small niche clans which usually died a month later (I was a part of at least 3 of the many niche clans).

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.

Ok, then take out the samurai armor and lederhosen.

Kazoo is the ultimate instrument of terror, but also beauty. No army should be without it.

Well the fact that the game has Samurai/Chinese armors despite the fact that european medieval powers never clashed with these civilizations is displaying in its own right that the game isn't that euro-centric (plus this game goes way far after the medieval era. the majority of weapons and armor are renaissance so yea ur all retarded)

I think the more variety the better, personally. If your immersion wasn't ruined by fighting a guy with a samurai helmet and a byzantine cuirass then I think adding 14th and 15th century meso american and south american gear would be more than acceptable. Albeit not much data remains on what mayans/incans/aztecs wore during precolombian times I think it's fair to say their look didn't change too much in the century before the spanish came. plus we have gear up to the late renaissance anyway meaning that those south american guys were in the time frame anyway

im alot smarter than most of you guys and i play more often so my judgement is a liiiitle more valuable

my turn:

I voted yes but only because I like troll stuff and peasant clothes. (^:

I have thought about the argument that we already have samurai stuff and it doesnt bother anyones immersion, but I think thats 1st: because samurai stuff has already been content from the base game and 2nd: it indeed is comparable to the western society because you can look at it as an equal powerful rising force, such as any other european realm was. It is a different style indeed, never had touched the other side of the world, but its metal, it uses swords, polearms, bows and armor.

Leopard pyama scrap covered tomahawk throwing runners do not really fit this, but I'd still be fine with it.

CULTURAL DIVERSITY!
