The thing I'd like to see most is gauntlets. It looks kind of silly having full plate armor but no hand protection at all. However, I'd say some kind of gauntlets should limit your ability to use certain weapons - it would be hard to pull a bowstring with those heavy plate mitten ones.

May we never speak of that movie ever again
Gauntlets would be very cool.
I would also like to see the armour worn by the ladies to be different from the guys. Just a smaller waist, and not so shoulder heavy. That sorta thing...
Also, Riveted Maille Hauberks are lighter, dont look at me like im dumb
Basicly with butted, you use like 14 gauge, in riveted, you use like 18 gauge and hammer them flat, and revet them. It doesnt seem like much but the difference is anywhere from 1 pound as much as 7 i think...
Of course it takes 4x as long.
You have to cut coil them, cut them, bend them so they overlap, anneal them, punch a hole and insert a flat wedge which is then pressed flat, making it basicly unbreakable. and that is EVERY link
With Butted all you have to do is coil, cut and weave them into what ever you want.
Also, you RARELY ever find broken rings in riveted, theyre lighter, damn near indestructible, but that comes at a price, i imagine that riveted should be 4x the price of regualt maille hauberks.
Yes, we DO need gaunts, it rediculous to see some guy clad in black with these white hands holding a SoW
I would love to see bronze. Not very dutable perhaps but looks cool.

P.s. Personel request, The padded cloth, could that be renamed to padded Gambeseon? Or padded Aketon? Either one is historic. Padded cloth just bothers me for some reason. MAybe even Padded shirt?

some variations of the heraldic armor would be nice. but maybe modders will be able to add types of armor?
some helmets with plumes like sugested before would be nice too.
oh and if you add the lorica and the scutum then might as well add the pilum and the Gladius hispanicus aswell and the helmet (can't remember it's name)

The different versions of the heraldic armor are and will be countless, we just need a way to add instead of overwriting. So I'll just sit back complete requests and wait for the mod tools

I want gauntlets as well... seems odd that there isn't.
Also, good point. Maybe the game should limit what type of weapons you can use with different armours - or at least give a penalty of some kind... since full plate limits movement it could give a damage/range/speed penalty as you can't pull the string as easily.
I'd like to be able to edit/create my own coat of arms for shields or something as well - skinable shields would be good

I agree with only the latter for the core game, as my initial thought was that the Swadians were supposed to be Muslims and we could have a sort of crusade thing going on. Cataphract armor would be great.
There will have to be multiple mods spanning vastly different periods.
And please, add lots of magic stuff. Turn Mount & Blade into one more generic bargain bin RPG. Add haughty elvish rangers, impetuous and greedy dwarven axemen, and a trite-as-hell prophecy while you're at it. w00. Don't forget the color-coded elemental magic. Can't have an RPG without that.
Color coded magic sounds good, and please also add ents!

"Sarghon casts Luphnar's Hammer on Dragnir, but Dragnir is protected by Gerber's trinket"
should clutter the screen, shimmering with various colors.
Middle and Far eastern armors are also a must. I want my character to wear a bronze hoplite cuirass, samurai kabuto on the head, together with +3 Fire Resistant Scottish kilt (no underwear, of course).
Also, please add shurikens!

This game needs giant robots with miniguns for arms. We all know that it's physically impossible to make a game containing swords that doesn't also have some kind of giant robot. Just look at everything DnD, Dungeon Siege, Morrowind and that new Guild Wars free addon. This game will not be plausible at all unless it contains those giant robotic spiders we know were easy to build for people who couldn't figure out how to make rubber gloves. You see, wizards are cool, but robots are also cool. So the game can't compete unless it has both. It also needs ninjas, pirates, aliens, zombies and commandoes.

Oh, that reminds me the good old days of Might and Magic in its full glory
Wooden sword, glass shield, rubber sparkling tiara of toughness, amulet of speed and boots of jumping - and off to see the world!
BTW - I say YES to robots! Especially the giant variety, stomping the towns, and shooting lasers from arms.
