Those look great, Markus. Can't wait to see what you're doing with the Welsh/Britons.
King's Maille sounds great. But maybe it should be called the Earl's Maille? Or Lord's? Jarl's? Since its unlikely that the King would stand in the shield wall or do much 'adventuring', those would be more likely people to wear practical mail. Your call, just my gut reaction!

The nature of all the society's at the time meant that the leaders had to lead from the front. At ashingdon Alfred lead his troops from the shield wall. The king had to lead by example or he would lose the respect of his subjects
Edit: Hey Markus how about some black equipment for Guthrum, you know keeping with the Cornwell theme

I believe it's a reskin of one of the Native nobleman outfits, which has a cloak. It's attached to the skeleton, I believe.

King's Maille is simply a term. It'll just be a more elaborate form of a mail coat, with lots of embellishment and rather expensive as a result.

Orj is correct, I used one from native that I can't remember the name of right now.

The Cornwell link is pretty weak, and I figure there's probably enough mail varients in the game at the moment, sorry.

Have you been thinking about putting more variety of weapons? Namely more axe and spear models (they all look the same, especially in the shops), more kinds of throwing weapons, and a new bow or two.
You're doing a damn great job, I love your mod. Those new armors and shields look awesome. Can't wait for you to finish the porting process.

Ok, i've done a bunch of new armours for the Briton faction. After much contemplation, I've decided to use a tartan-style texture on most. I realise that this might have some members screaming in rage, but I think it the best choice on aesthetic grounds.
Anyways, the new armours:
There's not a great deal more that can be done with the weapons, Stoned-dude did a pretty exhaustive job covering the weapons documented in the period.

Woo, nipples
The only thing I have against the 'tartan' style is you can see a lot of skin.
And the skin doesn't look so good. It's sort of plastic-like. But that might just be me.
Otherwise it's looking mighty great.

Hmm, the skin is the same as the Native texture (for bare chests) and the shader is the same too.
What do others think?

Idk i still think that the Brits weren't absolute barbarians... they knew that if they got hit with a sword on bare skin it would hurt. Maybe some kind of primitive chain mail with large chain links for they upper level soldiers. But aside from that they look great. Maybe someone could prove me wrong...
Thanks a lot

I know it's the native skin. I just don't think it looks so good. But skin is generally really difficult to make lifelike.Markus II said:Adorno said:Woo, nipples

The armours look absolutely great, especially the ones with check pattern.

I think they look very nice. The skin under the cloth is just fine.
But the cloth only is good merely for the unarmed peasants.
Some more proper armour for warriors is in order.
If they were properly armoured in the Roman times, there's no reason to think they lost the skill to make proper armours several centuries later. Perhaps rather the opposite.
They were fearsome fighters even centuries later the timeperiod of this mod. Recall the difficulties English kings had with pacifying Wales...
I suggest some distinctive Briton helmets, scale armour and metal-reinforced leather.
Celtic helmets:
Roman period Briton Warriors:
Ancient Celtic warrior:
Romano-Britons:
(Note the scale armour!)
