the answer is obviously late 17th century european. If I had a cool 15-30k laying around I'd have a suit; best looking and highest functionality seeing as it was literally the final evolution of plate armor. Close second is german gothic for the coolness factor, which is why I do have a suit.

also Henry VIII garnitures best garnitures. His foot harness is literally the highest evolution of plate armor and wasn't even finished due to the frogs being salty.

>>29752005
the bigger problem is that you can't see shit below eye level without bending. I use a sallet and bevor for hema and it's a pain in the ass that muhsafety means I have to drill ahistoric breath/ocular holes in the faceplate. closed sallet+maille standard ftw.

Come back when you learn to ride a horse, pleb.

Also, your shitty mountains suck so hard even your bandits aren't worth fighting. Loot is garbo.

>>29752161
Thats because we control our bandit problem, instead of hiring bandits as our "lords"

>>29752180
Well you can't hire them, because you live in shitty mountains and have no gold.

C'mon man, accept that even the fucking Mongols have their shit together more than you. And they are just off brand Vaegirs.

You are just Swadian rejects with ladybits too delicate for horse riding.

I'll have you know that the rhodok mountains are the birthplace of western civilization, just because your neanderthal mind can't conceive of a civilization that's ascended past your greed for gold and "aristocratic" delusions that require you to ride horses to compensate for your impure blood, doesn't make your "kingdom" legitimate.

All this arguing when we know who the true ruler of Calradia is. I, for one, accept these strange invaders. The old Empire fell for good reason: it got fat and lazy.

Nords bring new blood and fervor into the Valley, so I joined up with them. We slayed many foes doing so

>>29752245
maybe if you're playing on 1/4 damage to allies you fucking scrublord

>>29752256
We have already confirmed that the Empire had most of their territory in Sarranid territory. The Sarranids are the true heirs to the Empire. All praise to Sultan Hakim (PBUH)!

O sultan, Sarranid devil and damned devil's kith and kin, secretary to Harlaus himself. What the devil kind of knight are you, that can't slay a hedgehog with your naked arse? The devil excretes, and your army eats. You will not, you son of a bitch, make subjects of Nord sons; we've no fear of your army, by land and by sea we will battle with thee, fuck your mother.

>>29752337
That's the Vaegir. Too busy hunting for furs and fucking in the snow to be interested in their economy.

Were it not for the lucky placement of those mountains keeping Khergits in the steppes below, they'd be praising Tengri or dead by arrow to the face

>>29752357
>using Cossack insults
>For nords

Just admit you want to Vaegirs to conquer you, and show you the true way to glory.

I'll give you a hint. It involves big axes, which you already have down, and using horses.

>>29752382
Why would I need a smelly, over-sized deer with no antlers in combat? Trying to compensate for something, Snownigger?

>>29752376
At least our women don't look like a sway backed mule.

Nords confirmed for worst race. Your land is only fit to supply us superior Vaegirs.
