The Level of Armour Variety in Bannerlord?

[stevepine]

I hope (and assume) there will be far more armour sets and pieces available than just those we can see from the troop trees and the ones in the Beta?

From the start, I expect my guy will just take whatever scraps he can muster from dead looters and bandits, of course.

(One of the things I loved about Floris was the extra variety it added to loot)

I hope there will different levels of weapon too... Like 'balanced', 'tempered' and 'masterwork'?

Any thoughts or knowledge about this?

There are lots of armour pieces in m&b bannerlord that weren't included in the multiplayer beta. Don't worry.

Yeah, I would have thought so... haven't seen much about this through the dev blogs though... unless I am getting old and losing my memory! Lol

There's probably more info about faction architecture .. or so it seems.

There were posts of people like Poncho of messing with game files and showcasing various clothes & armour combinations so I'm pretty sure. If you'd like, try a visit to his profile.

Ah cool. Thanks.. I might do that later on, just out of curiosity.

People have extracted armors from the beta files and compiled them in order to brainstorm different combinations and ideas for the factions. Tons of pictures and information in that thread alone. There are quite a bit more armors in SP that aren't in the MP pool. Also, TW is currently working on more sets of armors to add during EA. The devs respond in that thread and thank the community for inspiring them to create a greater variety. That thread was likely responsible for TW reworking the Battanian aesthetics.

Pictures of most items currently in MP item pool. Lots of stuff in there I hadn't seen before. I've also seen a lot of new armors in youtube videos showing the custom battle mod for beta, lots of different color combos as well. 10 more days............

Thanks for sharing.

What was the "old look" for Battania?

They looked basically like bandits, lot of ragged armor. Plenty of images out there if you look. At least now they don't look like poverty stricken scavengers, now they have a more distinctive "celtic" look to them. I just hope the upcoming armors are more representative of the fine craftsmanship the historical celtic cultures produced. Plus more tartan

Ah ok, thats just a waste of creativity. I like them because of their Celtic influences, makes them a very unique factions. And it is more interesting to see how Celts could have evolved. I also like their architecture, with earth walls and giant roundhouses.

Nope, those armors and clothes you see extracted are EVERYTHING there is for now, they are extracted from spitems.xml which contains both MP and SP items. For the magnitude toward which Bannerlord strives, the armor variety is pretty low IMO.
Fortunately, relatively recently, an initiative was started by the TW art team, their concept artist Alieser, and their 3D modelers, to make some new armor sets, not only adding to variety, but make them more distinctive with additional cultural flavour, which is a real blessing to be getting such an initiative this late into development. Not that i'm complaining, the initiative was most definitely needes.
However, we cant expect the new armors anytime soon, so don't expect on EA release any more items in Singleplayer nor Multiplayer than the ones you have already seen, for the time being, that is it, untill those new sets get finished.

I am sure there are plenty of worn trousers and ragged shirts to be had in the single player game.
