I hope that in both MP and singleplayer; imperial cataphracts get to use a Paramerion style sword.

@Apolon , You almost hit the bull's eye with the exaclty loadout implemented in early June :iamamoron:
@AmateurHetman ,The Paramerion are already implemented in the Imperial equipment since the beginning of the Alfa-Beta.
 
@Apolon good work. I like your mamluk a lot.

No, the mamlukes don't need those fancy golden shoulder plates. They were slave soldiers, do you think slaves could afford such fancy armor? And I actually prefer the current look of tribal warriors. They look like adventurers/merchants by wearing those robes.
Slaves... bought by powerful states who trained them and provided them the best arms & armors. They often became so powerful that they finally took the power.

There's not much different and original you can do with the Vlandians. Either they'd look like the Vikings, or they'd look like Medieval Knights in plate armour (depending on if you went back or forth in time for inspiration), choosing the time period that was chosen to be inspired for the Vlandians allows for Taleworlds to make them stand out the most amongst the other factions in the game. And besides, it does look good and will look better than the Swadians in Warband, aswell as being the second least anachronistic inspiration that could have been chosen.
I am not sure I got all what you said. Anyway early feudal knightly look is original and different from the other factions, so no need to get inspiration from the 13th century again.

EDIT: Ok I just realized they changed the MP armors, and that my two fav Aserai classes have been wasted (veteran and beduin).

I would like you to add other types of late Roman helms to the imperial legionary. Maybe the helms could change for each imperial factions

What I meant to say was that the chosen time period for inspiration for the Vlandians is the least anachronistic and makes the most sense for the games overall aesthethic.

Ok. And I disagree, 8th-11th Western Europe isn't less interesting aesthetically for the game.
 
First of all , i would like to make myself clear that i think Bannerlord should take very clear inspiration from history alone, which is rish and colourfull and on which Terco and I always insist. However, the usage of leather armor in this game is something i am forced to aprove because games need it to give a clear visual cue for players that it is the armor "between cloth and chain", even though leather armor was very rarely used historicaly, and certainly not to that extent nor shape the gaming industry needs it. Even so, I would like for TW to keep leather armor usage at minimum if possible.

I see there is a slight missunderstanding here of what "low fantasy" actually means in terms of modern gaming. It is not a magical world, it's just a world inspired by reality, that can be bent by breaking the 4th wall or in any other way the company wishes, since nothing from that invented world directly corelates to reality, even though heavily inspired by it.
Taleworlds themselves have described their games as "low fantasy" on several occasions, and Bannerlord too as i remember:
"However, the low fantasy setting of the game gives us room to inject our own flair and flavour into each item we create, which is something our artists certainly make the most of."
Quote from this Dev Blog.
So no need for that word to give you guys goosebumps, it doesen't mean simply a "softcore Middle Earth".

So This is how i imagine the battanian troop tree could be, including archers that i think is necessary for they basic troops. I also adding the highlander that is a light armored pikemen and can be upgrade to more armored pikemen or savage with twohanded falx. I think that since Battania is a faction surrounded by others with good cavalry, having pikemen in their basic troops is necessary. The wilding's branch is a infantry with javelins

Edit: I think longbowman could be replaced by "Saethwyr" to be a less generic name.

Hi There.
Just found this thread lurking around the forum. Very interesting indeed. Just to "cultivate joyful creativity" decided to fool around a little with the much discussed Berzekers/Ulfhendars for Sturgia- basing on the screenshots found in this tread (the very first design I saw in vids and pics from the beta was a bit to "cliche" imho while the new ones are a bit to- can't find right werb- "common looking" let's say for such units, personally would imagine them with more "wild" ). Maybe they came up a bit to "low fantasy" with slightly exaggerated tattoos and stuff (especially one with wolf head and chainmail mask; ) but ..oh well.

P.S. Personally not a big fan of wolfhead fur on warrior's heads- but if slightly more subdued, and perhaps on 2 or 3 out of 10 warriors (not every member of unit) perhaps it can be acceptable, in the background enclosed an image from vendel period' s helmet bronze plate in my defense- the historians of course not sure if it's mythological creature or ,as some speculate- the ulfhendar warrior image ; ) All in all- if it comes to arms and armor (especially in SP) the more the merrier as they say.

Am I the only one that feels like the Battanian Clan warrior looks too 'jacked'. It makes his head look small, considering how beefy his body is.
 

C) and D) look very good, if indeed the unit is meant to be a Nord. If the unit is meant to be Sturgian then the current MP design fits better.

You're not the only one, some of us reported bad proportions on models and body or armors problems since last Gamescom, many times ! I think most people are just giving up on this and we will pray that some talented modders fix this side of the game...
 
Hi There.
+1 for Berserker tattoos! I suggested this in another thread a while ago, glad to see it represented (I still prefer the current trousers rather than the exposed legs). Since, I now consider it to be a great opportunity to display the Clan/Realm Heraldry on the Berserker. The unit could have a tattoo of the Heraldry on the torso, similar to Vlandian Knight's Armour or most shields.

On the topic of jacked and malnourished units. I think the biggest problem is the malnourished looking Battanian Savage.

We need these so badly.
 
It seems that the "no ears" and "small head" problems were solved with the latest hotfixes 8.1-8.4
 
After i saw Terco`s Sultan, i couldn`t but think of his Sultanah for him to rule together with :grin:

most of sultan's wives were from europe though, so wouldn't it make more sense for her to have whiter skin color?
Also where can i download a complete file for all aserai armor in bannerlord? Im really interested in this particular faction.
