i definately think greek and roman armors would be cool. i know the whole greek armor thing is not within the time period, but i think that people using some roman armor in some cases had to have been a reality then, considering the empire's recent influence on europe.. also, i think there should be many variations of great helmets
Eh, whatever, sarcasm, whats the point to it
The morrowind setup of armour was alright. You know, Cuirass, pauldrons, gaunts, Greaves (which should be cuisses) and boots (which are usually a combo of greaves and sabatons)
That way we have lotsa variety, its probly alot of work, but it would be cool. That way you can find different combos of armour that work and look great.

I would love to be able to go back and strangle the victoria age so called 'scholars' that gave us such horribly wrong terms such as "Ring mail" "Scale mail" "Banded mail", so annoying to see things like that.
From what I've seen in game this is one that isn't overly bad as far as the lame and wrong armour terms that have mostly been inprinted by D&D.
If the devs really want to show they are NOT a magic based, D&D tagalong clone derivitave, then they really should try to avoid things that are just really wrong as far as history goes. This doesn't mean you can't use armour styles that are 500 years and more apart in our history, it is a game after all, but bowing a little to real history really shows you're not bowing to fantasy magic.
End of my Historian Rant.
Anyone that wants to check out a really good history based site (Mostly armour) that doesn't have give in too much to LARP and SCA styles (Which more often than not have little to do with history. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't trust sources of history info that don't minds armour thats clearly made out of uncovered/painted plastics, or carpets)
www.arador.com is a great place.

Head of a yari, a 7'-11' spear
A naginata, better than a glaive, but not as heavy as a bardiche:
The katana (or daito) would be similar in effectiveness to the scimitar.
The no-dachi (great sword) would be similar to a SoW
The tetsubo, an iron-clad bumpy mace:

I'm definetly against far eastern armor; It would be far better in a mod than in the main game. Middle eastern, turkish, and mongolian armor makes much more sense as cultures from all of these areas were often in conflict with Europe. (Note: I know there is already mongolian style weapons and armor)
I also think we should be able to choose armor for our horses. Even the heaviest chargers were slowed down by the full armor they were wearing, and we should be able to decide how encumbered they'll be.

How about some heavy Khergit armor? I can't find any good pictures but 14th and 15th century mongols/timurids had some heavy armor that would look great for Khergit. It consisted of a solid flat breastplate with bands coming down to protect the front of the legs and more bands on the upper arms. Chainmail covered areas not protected by the plates. This would be combined with light plate boots and gauntlets as well as a conical helmet with a visor to protect the face and scales or chianmail at the back. Patterned silk was often worn over the top, kind of like European surcoats. A cataprakt horse with the scale armor would also be nice.
Like this?
Kinda, but bigger links.
