    Is that bevor attached to the breastplate or is it part of the helmet?

    As far as I know it's part of the breastplate if you speak off the model itself.

    Great Work on these models!

    Point of historical accuracy

    He's right. He didn't say there weren't longbows, but the term wasn't beeing used in medieval times.

    Good suggestions, I would like to include more Italians as well as some figures from other areas such as Scandiniavia, Poland, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Denmark etc. Trying to stick to Catholic regions at the moment. In the future if the project is relatively successful/popular I'll be moving onto other regions like Russia, Middle East, etc.

    Only thing about these suggestions is that Castruccio and John's references are actually made about 40-50 years after their deaths. I know Hawkwoods memorial is from 1436 when he died in 1394. Maybe Mohatmair has some images in his vast archive, but I may have to make an educated guess at what they may have been equipped with.

    I'm not Matmohair, but here are some pictures :wink: :

    I know, that are only Miniatures, but the only good pictures I can find till now.
    A Condottiere from the early 14th Century could have looked like this one:

    large_orig_condottiere_c.jpg

    Very similar to your Avatar.

    And other suggestions:

    And a scene from a movie. I've only watched some scenes. As good as the armours look, as horrible are some other details (e.g. knights are lifted at their horses with cranes :roll:)

    This drawing is from Graham Turner. I have to say I like his style.

    large_orig_drawing_knight_cornwall.jpg

    Grahama Turner's drawing again.

    Graham Turner has drawn some impressive pictures (mainly for some Osprey books). I suggest you take a look at his homepage gallery for some good pictures of late medieval armours: http://www.studio88.co.uk/acatalog/Historical.html

    By reproducing these people and their gear it will create a great base of open source items which modders can use or tweak.

    Yes, very good to hear  :grin:

    Thanks!

    I will see if I can find a better chain mail texture to use.

    I suggest the one from Dejawolf's Medieval Helmet Package. I think, the 1257 AD texturer(s) used the same and it looks great in my opinion.

    That was one of the better helms in game. Why can that one and the version that had the black cloth over the top be brought back . Most of all, the 3 really nice winged helms back.

    Because these helmets are anachronistic in the Year 1257. And as far as I know the creators of this mod are trying to make it as historical accurate as possible.

    The whole mail-and-tabard thing? If you walked onto a battlefield wearing all that in the late 14th century, it'd be like some guy going to fight in Afghanistan with a Martini-Henry and a pith helmet.

    Who said the Teutonic Knights were wearing that kind of armor in the late 14th Century?

    @Silentzo
    I think the Teutonic Knight's armor of the late 14th Century wasn't different from the other Western and Middle European knight's armor. A lot of pictures in the internet are showing a "stereotype" of the Teutonic Knights (sometimes they're really "fantasyish", especially the ones from MTW2:Kingdoms) a lot of people have in mind when they think of them. But that wasn't the reality.

    As far as I know you cannot simply use the Module System on other mods, you will need the mod's Python files.

    The thing I don't like are the vanilla tournaments. I mean: Archers and Javeliners?

    OK, I know this isn't a historical mod, but is there any chance the tournaments could be changed? 1257 AD is a good example, everyone starts with his own equipment (but I don't know how they made it), I like that (but HUTh is right, this mod is far too big in my opinion), because Tournaments were for knights.

    Thick, I have to say I definitely love the new Jupons with the Corrazina and the baggy ones.

    As far as I know, helmets were often painted, if they weren't of good quality, but I could be wrong. And by the way, painted helmets are looking nice  :wink:

    I feel like the plate armors are incredibly out of proportion to the body of the M&B characters. The helmet also looks absurdly large compared to the body armor.

    You've never seen Narf of Picklestink's Transitional Armor Pack, did you? The meshes of that OSP are his and he did a wonderful job. Btw, plate armor wasn't worn directly on the skin. As far as I know, some sort of gambeson was worn beneath the chainmail and the plates in the 14th Century.
    And Thick1988's helmets are great in my opinion.

    Sorry, don't want to offend you but please think of it.

    I know how plate armor was worn, and that's why I am saying it just looks incredibly unrealistic. The textures are fine, it just need to be bigger model. It looks terrible to me, I just don't like it.

    And, what are you offending me with?

    Ah, ok. Now I understand your point.

    Englisch isn't my mother tongue, so I thought my choice of words couldn't have been the best.
