Not keen on it myself. Why does it have a crown when he is only a knight? I like some of the other Vlandian gear (I've always been fond of that rough looking, square-cut scale shirt ever since I first saw it at Gamescom 2015), but I wish there weren't so many heavily armoured troops. I also don't see the need for coat of plates; given the approximate time period quoted as their inspiration (600AD to 1100AD) it seems a bit out of period. Mostly though I just don't find coats of plate/brigandine aesthetically pleasing. I would prefer if it was mostly mail and scale for the higher tier troops such as knights.

Ive noticed that the player seems to have different/better gear than their soldiers, like how if youre a legionary captain you get a gem encrusted helmet. Maybe the knight captain is a duke or prince, it would make sense he's leading his retinue into battle. What really bothers me is the scale armor that the Vlandians have. Ive never seen knights or Franks wearing scale
Most of the time people tend to choose the same factions/paths/characters during playthroughs. I bet you most of the videos available (for now at least) are mainly Imperials and Battanians, with a chance of Vlandian. Hell! Are we even sure people get to choose between all the planned main factions?Styo said:

I agree, though that coat of plates isnt too bad. I would assume that the horsemen are all knights and the commander would be a duke or some kind of lord maybe. Im just glad i havent seen plate armour, its so ugly
It's a shame the Vlandians can't couche their lances. Holding a heavy lance with two hands whilst riding just looks silly.
It could function as it does in Warband MP, where couching is activated temporarily by a key. Maybe they just never hit the key?

I wish they could die slower. I mean, not every time something dies, he just instantly falls down. Maybe most of the time they do if the damage is very critican, but sometimes when one bleeds, he can walk or even run very long before death. Not like I wish to have more core to this game. I think it's ok that there is not too much blood etc. But it kind of is realistic, if bleeding was the option. There would be a warning in the corner "bleeding" and you might have few seconds to do your last actions before you or your horse die.

That was a little spear. Not a lance.

Forward the video to the 8 minute mark.
The Kontos-style lances seem to be stab-orientated but I don't recall seeing any of the couched lance mechanics that made M&B so satisfying to master. Anyone seen any? It's possible they do couch but inexperienced players may not be using it correctly.
Vlandia have a normal archer or all of them are crossbowman.
I said it for the Single Player actually, at last the kings have crowns. I don't care about Multiplayer that much.DanAngleland said:argon45 said:Nice helmet:
