Welp I guess every age is tainted by the greed of men

I feel like this would handle rain very poorly

Would you rather have some rain in your helmet or a sword?

I feel like it would handle swords poorly too. Swipe to the top of you head and it'll deflect downwards right into the little window. Google informs me that this is a helmet for jousting tournaments which makes more sense. I don't know if they would joust in rain or just wait until later for the tourney

You would not joust in rain because mud kills horses. Horses are basically popsicle sticks held together with paper mache.

In that case I am a tad bit dumb.

I'd say indigenous cultures in general are underrated. There is so much interesting history and culture that barely anyone seems to know about.

This is Alaskan!? I really need to brush up on Native History in that region!

Holy shit, this is sick af. This would make for great inspiration for a fictional culture, definitely better than the same vaguely European template armor.

A tko ovdje živi, neka moli za njih Boga. Ja opat Dobrovit sazidah ovu crkvu sa svojom braćom devetoricom u doba kneza Kuzme koji je vladao svojom krajinom. A bijaše to u vrijeme Mikula u Otočcu sa svetom Lucijom zajedno.“!<

Also super dope, but what's the connection between >!Bašćanska Ploča!< and the armor in this picture? Genuinely curious.

>!Bašćanska ploča!< was written around the 11th century, and this armour was in use at roughly the same time.

Oh cool, thanks!

No that armour is primarily based on early-mid 14th century examples, it's quite far from the 11th century.

Peak

In my opinion the penultimate medieval fantasy adventuring warrior’s armor. Just enough medieval to still be plausible, just enough fantasy to not be recognizably medieval. And it fits the setting and the wearer’s profession too well. The visor helmet is protective yet practical. The satchels and dagger are must-haves, yet often forgotten. The asymmetrical pauldron design which makes sense due to the fact that your left shoulder will be in front most of the time if you’re swordfighting with your right hand; speaking of which, the right hand is not protected by metal, which might compromise safety but in turn makes more delicate actions like loading a crossbow or rummaging through a satchel easier. Adequate elbow protection. Anything that isn’t covered by plate is covered by chain or thick linen. The coat signifies the connection to Astora, and makes a person recognizable; certainly useful when skirmishing in full gear. The scarf around the neck. The most unrealistic part is likely the leg armor, as that body part is one you don’t want/need to slap full of iron as it hinders maneuverability, which is the precise reason why legs don’t get hit in combat all that much anyway. Then again, the boots are not covered, likely to not hinder in something like climbing. Additionally, there doesn’t seem to be a chest plate, which is odd since a good chest plate rarely hinders motion much and the chest is basically the second-most important body part to protect… alas, chain allows more free movement than plate. God I love this armor so much.

Is that ... linen? Good idea, very breathable.

Yeah! I don't remember exactly but it was layered linen armor. People also had to purchase their own armor so making it out of linen was more affordable than metal chest plates.

Cod pieces lol

You ever played kcd? It heavily features a lot of Cuman arms and armor and I think that's cool

Just picked it up on sale for that actually, really fun even though I’m getting destroyed every fight

Pro tip, go for the limbs, the enemies cripple just as fast as you do but react slower so you can sneak a few hits around their guard

It's a lot of fun, especially once you start to learn the combat. One recommendation that helped me is to rebind your block/parry key to a mouse button if you have any extra ones on yours, as using a key is kinda inconvenient

Make sure you do the optional trainings with captain Bernard if you haven’t already, learning ripostes is a game changer

There's too many good ones to pick. 14-15th century Golden Horde Tatar armour, like the drawing by Gorelik in your post is among my favourites. The same era for Turco-Persian armour is also really good. Later 15th century Aq-Qoyunlu and Ottoman armour goes pretty hard too. https://preview.redd.it/68ybysf34axc1.jpeg?width=1252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0a4b0954206b367b483ed277e301d939a145d1c This is how a late 15th century Aq-Qoyunlu cavalryman could've looked like. But lots of chinese armour looks good, lots of european armour looks good. It's very hard to pick favourites.

do plague doctor outfits count? if so than that, if not than those generic crusader armors, simple but really cool

there’s a reason those are iconic, very clean designs

My favorite "fantasy but still kinda realistic" armor has to be Skyrim Heavy Dawguard armor https://preview.redd.it/aenk0fkuz9xc1.png?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d1eabcdced06dbe6b43c5baeb28d7e0933db3eda

The elite knight set from dark souls 1-3 is fucking PEAK. Simple but the design is still soooo good. In ds1, the instant I found it, I just used it all the time. In the ds2 and ds3, not so much but it’s probably still in my top 4 most used sets. I even made and used something similar in elden ring because of how much I love it. https://preview.redd.it/x6gh3k0y5axc1.png?width=480&format=png&auto=webp&s=e9d37322b56d377ae3d37d5c5ef0e0d1ecae13e3

Is that Balyk-Sook style lamellar plating on the chest in picture 3? I'm actually working on something simillar with plates of a simillar style found in birka (which might be viking but also might be from turkic mercenaries in the region). My personal favourite armors are the 15th century german githic style armors. Very normie pick, I know, but they are so very beautiful.

For a moment, I thought this was the bannerlord reddit.

I just want to say you have great taste, that's my favorite type of armor

You are not wrong in KCD subreddit, OP

*intense Kingdom Come: Deliverance flashbacks* Barbarous Cuman swine!

unarmored defense

Of armour was was more commonly used it has to be the Norman Nasal helm and Long Chain Shirt. Of all armour in history its the Chinese Rattan Armour. Fuck you I grew mine.

Is that Janissary?

Carabinier/Cuirassier's Cuirass

Holy crack, i also love cuman armor!

German ocular visor

I don’t like what they did as a faction, but the armor the Knight’s Templar use just gets my brain going. It’s simple, it’s effective, and their regalia is the same way.

armor is for cowards, i run no armor for the best dodge roll🥱

mine is plot armour

Are those Cumans?

Big fan of mail and gambeson. It’s not the most protective or the most flashy but it gets the job done.

Gambeson looks like it would be comfy as fuck honestly
