should there be a cultural variety of armor and weapons in the game?

In case you haven't noticed, this game is based on medieval Europe. So you have the typical feudal, the Celtic, Roman, Viking, Slav, Muslim, and even Mongol factions. But the Far East hardly had any direct contact with medieval Europe.

Because the map doesn't go that far east.
If they ever did add a China-style faction they'd need to do it in an expansion that extends the map further east. They'd also need to add some other factions in order to balance it, I think, as a Chinese faction would only border the Khuzait and maybe Sturgia.
That said if they did a full fledged Eastern Expansion with India, China, and maybe a Sturgian off-shoot with less Nordic aspects and more Russian characteristics that would be pretty cool. There could even be a mechanic representing the Silk Road and the dangerous, but potentially lucrative, trade along it.
The issue would be finding design space for all these factions. We've already got horse archers, archers, infantry, heavy cavalry, light cavalry, and balanced nations. Any new nations would just get one of the above focuses with a different aesthetic. Another issue is that expanding the map that much risks causing performance issues as the game has to track more and more things going on all at once.

It's loosely based on Medieval Europe set in a fantasy world. It's a what if? scenario. What if the Kievan Rus bordered the celts? What if Byzantium could fight the Mongols? What if they could fight a Japanese, Chinese, African, etc, etc, etc faction? The game has nothing to do with historical realism. If that was important they would have set in the real world.
There is no case for arguing against something on the basis of historical realism.
I would actually love a chinese inspired faction. Even better though a Korean inspired faction.. I just watched Kingdom, the netflix series, and Koreans had some seriously cool looking armor and weaponry
but the spartans invented military education and there was a lot of military stuff in ww2 bruh, why dont we have mg42 equipped spartans in m&b? unacceptable for the current year, misogynistic and racist
Please stop. Do you see the map of Calradia? Do you not understand that it's an analogue to Europe? Which part of Europe did the Qing/Ching/Ming/Ting/Bing Empire inhabit? Not a single part.
'What if' is a good idea, but suggesting the game has nothing to do with historical realism, in my opinion, is going too far. Basing on Medieval Europe is a big feature of the game. Imagine having cannons or muskets in the game. Imagine the Vlandians being horse archers and the Kuzaits major in armoured knights. Those are what ifs, but will immensely break the immersion.

The important part is loosely based on medieval Europe. With a heavy emphasis on loosely. It's a fictional world. Lord of the rings is based on Medieval Europe but imagine someone complaining that you can't have orcs or elves because they didn't have an impact on the time period. If you don't like the Lord of the rings analogy insert any other fictional world based on medieval Europe. The point is it's fictional. They can do anything they want within the rules that they have set the story.
In Game of thrones Westeros is the British isles with the pieces mixed around. That's how he created the map. The Map of Westeros is far more closely comparable to Britain than Caladria is to Europe.
This is a fictional place. Not a real one
Glad you brought Lord of the Ring into the discussion. It's fictional, yes, but it has a setting. You can have dwarves, elves and orcs. But it will be really weird if you have yokai and Chinese dragon in the book. Being fictional is something we call in China 'based on realism but more than realism'. You seem to neglect that based on realism part a bit too much. The map of Calradia is not exactly like Europe but quite similar, you have a snowy region to the north, the sea to the west, the desert to the south, and the steppe to the East. And following this map building logic, and further down the road - the setting, China should be far to the East, and Africa far to the south.

Ready yourself.
I think I've watched about 2,300 episodes.

One of the siege weapons uses gunpowder because it explodes, and gunpowder was discovered in China in the HAN dynasty, but it was better used in the Song dynasty, when at that time it was introduced to the rest of the world, before gunpowder was just black powder.
What if all factions in the game were inspired by real factions where you think they got the powder from?
