    Default Ugly Novgorodski Generals

    I just fought a battle against Novgorod, and I noticed that it looked like the General had the normal General's plate armour, but he was wearing heavy chainmail over it, and it looked really strange, and well, bad. I'm assuming this was modded because I don't recall seeing this before?

    Edit: Uploaded a screenshot.

    Huh... I'll have to double check that when I get back to my desktop. I remember noticing the chain, but at the time didn't think it looked like it was on top of plate (and, indeed, I specifically remembering appreciating that fact).

    On the other hand, I wish the generals looked more like their campaign map counterparts, or, heck, looked more believable in general, instead of wearing that ridiculous grille-face helm. Perhaps a souped up version the fancy new Russian-regional captain skins (which, in turn, I wish their campaign map counterparts looked more like them, as opposed to wishing the battle map skins of the generals looked more like their campaign map selves).

    Cheers.

    I'm pretty sure this is one of the features from Disgruntled Goat's Novgorod and Byzantine skins, which are both used in SS. The appearance of the general wearing chainmail over his plate armor is, in my opinion, a rather stupid looking skin amongst what are otherwise great unit skins by Disgruntled Goat.

    Well, Russian warriors/voivodes never used plate armor, for starters. What exactly you dislike? Actually that helm looks inapropriate, but not heavy mail.

    I don't have much comments with that skin. anyways, did he use the create unit cheat? The entire group has gold chevrons...

    It's easy to get full experience armies later in game if you pay attention to experienced units. In every my game i easily can gather full gold lads crew from several armies if i wish

    I think that the hero units of the kingdoms campaigns should be used for general models of factions. Perhaps for heirs, kings, or all remaining generals but it should be used in some way.

    Upon another look, the problem with the Russian general skins now isn't the chain, it's the plate--the skins still use the ridiculous plated "grill helm", as well as plated arms and, for some reason, the roundels at the armpits. If these were removed / replaced with something more thematically appropriate, the skins would look fantastic.

    Cheers.

    Indeed, I'd like to see all of the generals be culture/faction specific.
