True, the mod team is still ironing out its kinks. Its probably pretty good at the moment but I haven't had time to play the latest version yet.

the villanovans, second being the velites, third being the camillian/polybian patterns, tied for worst are the germanic mercenaries of the centuries A.D, and the ugly and impractical-to-produce lorica segmentata

crucify yourself, barbarian

Lorica segmentata is one of the most easily recognizable armors ever, its so quintessentially roman that when you imagine a legionnaire you imagine him by default as wearing Lorica segmentata and wielding a gladius and Scutum (and maybe Pila)

>>33487122
ironic you would post that in reply to someone making fun of the helmets

the Galea was based on celtic helmet designs

Sadly Cataphracts arnt as well known, even though they are the best.

>>33489262

That's because they were mostly Persian and the Byzantines used them more.

EarlierRoman heavy cavalry was dope though, the creepy masks and remnant Equite look.
