Default Re: Mod plan: Revising the armour of dom3

I was thinking the same thing about the Samurai armor, and given that you're accepting the lower resource cost from CBM there's no real way to make it lower encumbrance. Unfortunately, that makes Samurai Armor inferior to the Bronze Cuirass and Heavy Samurai Armor inferior to Bronze Hauberks, which sounds just wonky.

Full Chain Mail: 17 res, 17 prot, -3 def, 2 enc
Plate Hauberk: 20 res, 17 prot, -3 def, 2 enc
Bronze Hauberk: 18 res, 17 prot, -2 def, 3 enc
Meteorite Armor: 25 res, 17 prot, -2 def, 3 enc (plus ~3 MR to units that get it)
Heavy Samurai: 12 res, 17 prot, -3 def, 3 enc

Those numbers seem a bit...off, just from a 'which armors are supposed to be better' standpoint. Full Chain Mail is used by almost exclusively Knights and Ulmish infantry(also Wardens, Agarthan Heavy Inf and Asherite soldiers), whereas the Plate Hauberk is the 'standard' heavy armor for infantry. Bronze Hauberks are almost exclusively for Myrmidons(both from Arcosephale and Oceania) and Gadite Swordsmen.
