Norman inventory back!

[Rodolph]

Hello guys.
I was thinking that we are reaching the final step to M&B perfection, and i haven´t seen Normand stuff back (At least the shields)
I don´t use such stuff, only the swords, and i don´t know if it has to much sense with the avaiable shields, but i think it would be a great idea, for thos who like to play Normand, to make those items came back, or, at least to create something like ¨western invaders¨ or something like that, i mean, a group of ¨bandits¨ with all Normand stuff.

And... I think that a horse with a cloth tunic should be implemented under the name of ¨Destrier¨ and, different colored horses.
I have seen that NBordic swords come with two different colored grips (Black and brown), so, why not adding black coursers or something like that?

And about the tunic, something like this diagram:

I support this. A lot more horses are in order.

Also, no to the "western invaders" or whatever they're supposed to be, and yes to more stuff. Gotta have more stuff.

Don't call it norman though, on acount of there being no M&B normans. Perhaps make them Geroian shields, and have a tavern merc being Geroian Infantry and Geroian Knights?

We have shields similar to those used by the Normans already, if I recall correctly.  Or have they been removed in .960 and I just have not noticed?

There are 8 norman shield designs in Native. However, they have all been disabled. However, you can go into the items editor and re-enable them by giving them the merchandise flag.

lol but we shouldn't have to. If it's sitting right there, ready to use, why do they disable it? I don't get it, honestly, how does taking something out make the game better? I'm guessing it's because they didn't want to implement the heraldry system onto those shield models yet, but still, I'd rather have the shields anyway.

They're disabled because they're size 90 - and Armagan forgot how to edit the size down to fur covered shields or board shields.

So... Do you know if they will be back if the problem is fixed?

What about the horses idea, What do you think?
I have seen them in other mods, but i think that they perfectly fit for a XIII century knight.

Wait how would the lead dev forget how to do something with his own engine?

I like that idea very, very, very much.  Add quite a lot of flavor to the world of Mount and Blade.

 

[Rodolph]

Ok, changing Norman shield for Geroian shield would be ok.

About the horses, i think it can be done with a few texture replacements in mail barded horse (With the yellow and black texture that shows your shield), and then, adding it as a separate horse called ¨Destrier¨ with the same charging power of the warhorse, and a bit faster than the hunter.

It was sarcasm.

It was easily detected internet sarcasm.

Couldn't resist.
