Hello CA,
I have for you some suggestions, because there are some historical mistakes and wrong interpretations.
I like new units cards style. These are very nice!
1. The first is technical mistake. Probably lost a shield boss (umbo).
In screens and video I saw that some units haven't shield boss (umbo).
2. Most of units seen on screens and video aren't various. They have the same helmets, armors etc. Only 2 differents are color of clothes, and shield patterns in some units.
They are like 'clone armies' known from Rome 1.
Soldiers should be more various. CA have helmets, armours to make these soldiers more various.
3.Sassanian king should have moustaches.
4. In screens and video I saw only rounded scutum. I suggest to use rectangular scutum. It was more popular in 3rd century AD.
5. Units from screens and video have shield patterns from 1st-2nd and 4th-5th centuries. There aren't typical patterns from 3rd century AD.
I suggest add Dura Europos shield patterns.
6. Most of Roman units use Spangenhelm. This helmet was popular in 5th-6th centuries. It used in Attila has more sens, but no in 3rd century.
7. There are units look like use random elements from Rome 2 and Attila. They looks very weird if you will think that all soldiers look like them. Maybe is possible 5% per units not all.
This one has:
- spangenhelm from 5-6th centuries,
- scutum from 1-2nd centuries,
- no shield patterns,
- skinny cuirass more Asian.
This one one is completely weird, looks like mix of random elements from game:
- spangenhelm from 5-6th centuries,
- 'chichak' look like Eastern type from later time,
- Italic tunic from Samnites time from 3rd century BC,
- Celtic chainmails from 1st century BC,
- trousers used in 3rd-5th centuries.
Very, very weird mix of period and nations.
It is weird than Attila Last Roman Campaign (6th century AD) there are more ridge helmets Intercisa, Berkasovo, Deurne etc. (4-5th century AD) than Spangenhelms but Rome 2 Empire Divided (3rd century AD) has more Spangenhelms (6th century AD)...
8. I saw only 3 types of new helmets. Other are from Attila - Spangenhelm, Intercisa for example.
Congrats for Guisborough:
I suggest another ones:
Heddernheim type 1
Heddernheim type 2
Niederbieber-Rheinau-Buch
9. Some proposal about helmets, armour and shields:
