LotP's 'Breastly' Breastplate Retexture for Carolingian General

[PiemasterXL]

I don't know about you guys, but that goofy thing on the General's breastplate killed my boner bad. With all due respect to the hard work of mod team, I had made a mini-mod that removes it and makes it look like a normal piece of armor. I edited the diff and norm files.

Here's a pictograph:



I have no idea if this is historically accurate or not.

Download the attached file on this post, and drag the 'data' folder inside the zipfile into your 'Last_Kingdom' mod folder, you will have to overwrite the files. MAKES BACKUP OF THOSE TWO FILES IF YOU WISH TO REVERT TO ORIGIONAL FILES.

TLK Team for original texture.

The End.

Any chance you could put up a comparative picture of the original? I personally have no idea what it looks like

Yeah a breastplate is highly inaccurate for the year 865 CE

I'm guessing the original is actually meant to be leather?

Thx for this!

It's really good, very down-n'-dirty look I find. The original is very ornate, and I don't think it's too far a stretch to imagine a Frankish F.M. wearing some kind of breast-plate. It looks like it's made of bronze or brass kinda, its not inconceivable that nobles -esp inheritors of Charmlemagne's legacy - could have exotic type of armor. Its not rank and file soldiers here...

but as for armors, the Frankish military laws, had some part about a "Bernie" and it was some kind of torso/chest armor. They were strictly forbidden from selling, trading, or allowing these armaments to fall into non-frankish hands. It was probably some kind of very well-built metal disc armor, but something was special about it.

Neway, great job and I think it's a great fit in the game. If anything it could even just be lacquered or painted Leather Armor on top - Cuille Boiller or wte the french say "boiled leather".
