SirWarriant used Troll. It’s super effective!
In response to the seriousness, I’m perfectly fine with plate being allowed to be a gamebreaker, and accessibility is the best way to balance it. Also, I’d love to see shields have diminishing returns the heavier your armor gets, to the point it’s pretty much just dead weight if you’re clanking around in a full suit of rigid plate.
Oh i agree, i just want it to be more rare, because getting it is really easy atm.
Review of cuirass “Churburg”. Like in the game.
Real crash test of a top-helm “Griffon”. Part I. English subtitles…
And dooth thow crafte harmed lyk that were beren by knyghts?
Full plate was custom fit, which is why a custom suit of armor cost as much as a home back in the Middle Ages. It took weeks to months for an armorer to articulate armor joints to move with the wearer’s limbs and distribute the weight so that it literally fit like a glove and moved with the wearer. The people in my local reenactment group wear full plate, even down to sabutons and they move with great ease as the weight does not restrict them as presented by Hollywood mythos.
My first chainmail byrnie weighted just over 30 pounds and it took a few hours to adjust to its weight but after that, the byrnie was nothing, especially with a belt that took some of the weight off my shoulders and distributed it to my hips, as was done during the Middle Ages. My helmet weighed over 15 pounds, due to safety reasons but I could easily wear the whole ensemble for hours…and often did during large combat events.
The Medieval soldier trained in his armor and professional warriors lived in their armor. It was like constantly lifting weights -Their bodies gained strength and trained to wear and move with armor the way people wear regular clothing.
If anyone here devoted a few hours a day to wearing armor and carrying a sword and shield, it would eventually be no different than wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase.
Hy guys! We make new video!
We did another photo session in the armor
Well looks like you’ve given me more videos to watch! 
The manufacturing process
That red jack of plates is gorgeous. Just like the armour I want 
Btw, how much would the red armour kit cost (in euros)?
Hey. I apologize for the answer in a month 
All the questions here artarmor@gmail.com
Our last works
Hui… that is looking beautiful. Unfortuantely it is a bit late to put this in the game I assume. I really like the Hounskull 
Helmet rotation
Set “Richard”. Testing mobility
Hi all! We make new video. Music and vocal written and recorded by ArmorySmith team (guitar, mandolin, bandura)
Great videos Emris! Thans for sharing! 
I dabbled in reinactment in my younger days, 40lbs of armour in the non-coreographed ‘Grand Melee’ plus another 12lbs for the helmet (more modern materials hidden under the steel of the helm i have to admit hading been belted round the back of the head with a 5lbs axe it still hurt like hell).
A lot of the misconception of full plate turning you into an armoured turtle and being unable to stand up if knocked over stems from ‘Jousting/Tournament’ armour which was often 90lbs in weight (something to do with a 1300lbs horse barreling towards you carrying a 250lbs rider with 12 foot long lance in his hand). if unhorsed the shock of hitting the ground at around 18 mph wearing 90lbs of armour means you won’t be getting up any time soon!
Modern reproduction armour benefits from better metals, and for non combat, aluminium chainmail is readily available weighing a fraction of the original weight.
The last point is that roughly speaking we are about 6 inches taller and a lot less thickset than the average middle age fighter who additionally would be considered really old if he hit 40 let alone any older.
