For further inspiration, I suggest watching the first twenty minutes or so of Gladiator less for the actual armor specifications, and more for the gritty, dirty look of the soldiers. Perhaps if the armor was 'dirtied up' a bit to make the Legion soldiers look more seasoned (once again, actual Roman soldiers looked rather rugged and dirty on the trail, too). I'm not sure whether or not these would stick out too much in the wasteland, but honestly, I think it would add to the allure of the Legion. Here are some reference pictures, if anybody is interested.Ĭheck out Moraelin's weapon mods, too for extra Roman goodness! After all, the real army after which they model themselves was the most organized of its time, and the first to regulate its soldiers' uniforms and weapons.Īnyways, I was hoping somebody could maybe start to mod cooler-looking Roman armor into the game, with actual Lorica Segmentata, chain main, and the like.
This also means that the Legion could also be able to make cleaner and more authentic armor for their soldiers, right? For some reason, it bothers me that the Legionaries wear such cobbled-together-looking armor, despite that they must have the resources to make much better suits. Did you notice that the Legion has very ornately minted coins with fine inscriptions in them? This fact means that Caesar must have machine shops with electric power somewhere in his Empire.
