Are you saying the armor was previously in but removed?!
Having it in shops and perhaps having lords and the player use it would be a nice alternative. Couldn't polys be reduced and the armors given to a variety of samurai though?
Thing is, I like the armor because of its proportions. Particularly the shoulder guards but the rest as well. It's perfect, and such perfect proportions are something Gekokujo lacks. The model is just great, it's not the details on it but the shape.
Shoulderguards look far too small and frankly awful on many armors in Gekokujo, and the cuirasses are just a texture rather than a model. The tassets also look far too small to be impressive.
The armor improvement submod fixes just this rather perfectly, cuirasses are finally modeled, ashigaru look just amazing, and tassets are finally large and impressive to look at, but sadly this armor sbumod introduces many issues of its own. All of the very impressive tassets clip when units run, but thats the least of an issue imo.
With this submod, samurai look ridiculously unarmored. No protection around the neck whatsoever, no armguards, most shoulderguards are so ridiculously tiny with a few good exceptions, and most cuirasses go only up to the chest, leaving the neck entirely exposed. WTF. The heaviest of armors look unarmored, and there is a general lack of bulkiness with the samurai, armors with proportions of the SSH set would fix that. That is why I want to see them.
Also, what jacobs models? Unless he made the improvement submod. I know he has modeled a japan based faction in Sayazn, but aren't those models inspired by the Kamakura period?
