Is this a bug? "Saddle of Aeneas" or place holder img?

76 armor T6 looks... well rubbish but is better than everything else.

How'd you get it?
It's only 1 more armor then Imperial you can get from marring a imperial.

Found it at Phycanon day 346 clan level 4
It may only be 1 more armor than imp scale barding but its only 26kgs compared to 30kgs



But the real issue to me is immersion breaking look at those 2 images and tell me what armor you think will keep your horse alive... Put some effort in lol

I wonder if this has to do with some strange named items showing up in stores.
The only mention I see of Saddle Aeneas is in a patch notes about art being added but it's uncleare to me if it was supposed to be added as an item too. Never heard of it before and this is from 1.5.1

there are like 3 really rare on op armours in the game i managed to get the celtic frost which has 78 armour and looks as though someone just chucked a bunch of furs onto the back of a horse

It's currently one of my Khuzait cities.

I assumed that it was probably for some OP character in some abandoned storyline or quest.

I have to say, what ever animal that fur came from must have had a pretty tough hide. I wish it included a little actual armour.

I'm gonna assume one of the devs is a fan...

I've been hoping those rare saddles would get their own cool designs eventually. 'Saddle of Aeneas' is the same model as the low tier 'Imperial Riding Harness'

Sorry to necro, but yeah this is still a thing.

I really don't get why the one unique mesh here isn't actually used for an appropriate lower tier horse harness.

Fun Fact: The Sturgian Horse Raider has the best horse harness in the game as a result! I mean why wouldn't a skirmisher cavalry unit have magic horse armor?

Imagine if you get that harness with boosted stats LOL. Like probably 90 horse armor and a weight of only 20!
