Because its a game. When the only faction(s) with access to high level armor the empire is, that would not be very balanced. Right?
And increasing the weight is someting they will probably do anyway. On top of that, increasing the weight while they sit on horses has very minor effect. Even when you concider Legionary being slow because of the weight, a faster and lighter unit will still die faster and more likely. it might influence your own choice of armor, but in terms of units, you would always put high armor over speed. Running faster in your death is not really a benefit

their balancing is garbage, always has been, there's a reason why so many balancing mods were made for WB and the classic M&B.Because its a game. When the only faction(s) with access to high level armor the empire is, that would not be very balanced. Right?

Not everyone cheese with horses. Never did a run with horses here, only on foot. I eat horses on breakfast.
Use your brain. Split units, run around, send shieldwall troops first, hammer and avil, etc.
Of couse!

Now chain mail boots are better than royal empire decorated boots? I don't know who is doing these changes but they make no sense. A Germanic saddle with a blanket is now the highest armor for horses in the game beating chain mail and lamellar full coverings? Some of this is just absurd.

Well let's hope they will figure out values first and then shuffle visuals around to make sense. But if they fail - well we have mods in that case.

Thanks for the hint. I'll check it.
Who knows, some baffling oddities here. This has to modded, it makes no sense whatsoever.
The AI doesn't care about armor values at all in it's fights so it's just annoying to the player.
Having a little more armor was all Empire troops ever had going for them so it's a very
I mean it sucks and it was waste of time to have an employee tinker with it at all
They need to give the palatine guards back their second arrow stack if didn't yet! That nerf was brutal to the Emp troops for the player in live battle.
Archer's need 2 stacks!

This is what they have mostly done for 8 months, tinker with things. No real content or any kind besides a few armors.

I agree, after i saw that most of lamellar armor except the body armor is now mid/high tier armor that is outmatched by some random Battanian leather in armor values. And the aesthetics of units like Catpahracts look in 1.5.4 in my humble opionon totaly terrible considering what we had.
WHen I saw this my heart broke a bit, the Empire troops were just fine and the same goes for their weapons and armors, now when my favorite gear got this nerf I got seriously confused... Does anyone knows which the Dev take care of this? We could try have a discussion to him and send the feedbacks on his way

agree with this post even if Splint Boots have thicker steel made by real Sturgian men! Not some puss forged thin wet steel from Empire, even if its technology ads up to be more effective though (i think)

Tinkering with values and even changing armor pieces during ea is fine but things like this make no sense. TW "logic" is a mystery to me.

Must have been another movie night again. This time, the main character has a nice set of silk clothing and he was able to defeat multiple enemies in armor. Just can't wait until they watch Bollywood historical fantasy movies.
