Vlandian troops look like ****!
I know they are supposed to be XI century Normans, but they are the worst looking faction right now!
All their troops look bland and generic, just not badass. Also, their selection of armor is extremely limited. Several types of boring undecorated mail and OMG their helmets are so lame - 150 variations of kettle hats and stupid looking nasal helmets. Only 2 types of shoulder armor which both look cheap and ****ty. Poor top tier noble Bannerknights have to wear CIVILIAN hood, because they have no appropriate shoulder armor LOL.
Enclosed helmets look not bad but could they at least add some great helms, I know these will be a bit anachronistic (late XII century), but they look badass.
I am pretty sure that William the Conqueror's troops looked much more badass LOL.
All other factions look nice and have much bigger selection of armor and helmets. In Warband Swadia was my favourite, because they looked badass. In Bannerlord I just can't play Vlandians, because they look so boring and bland.
And don't start about historical accuracy and authenticity, because all other factions have armors and armor elements from XII-XV centuries. But for some reason, only poor Vlandians look like bums. BTW I am pretty sure, that at least Italo-Normans used lamellar and scale armors, not just bland mail.
