German Armor VS Italian Armor - Kingdom Come Deliverance

[@Cynical_Giro]

me a simple italian who knows nothing about medieval armors when i saw “milanese”: so anyway i started roleplaying

[@KastaRules]

Just like in the AUTOMOTIVE industry we can sum these two kinds like this: Italian: excellent design, incredibly quirky, might have reliability issues. +10 CHARISMA German: overengineered, costs an arm and a leg to fix, looks wacky and intimidating. +10 STRONK Seriously though, I would love a KCD2 set in a later period with Gothic armor and Sallets.

[@Dare_To_Game]

I would also love that, as well as more color options, because during this period, people were pretty flamboyent with their armor if they could afford it.

[@danielantony1882]

I'd say it's the opposite XD Brigandine Cuirasses are the most expensive to fix things in the game.

[@danielantony1882]

The Milanese set in general is really expensive to fix.

[@thebananastore123]

i hope kcd2 is very gothic

[@HenryKobyla1407]

Awesome. 2 armor guides in one. Great work on this one.

[@Dare_To_Game]

[@playabooboo]

The warhammer was super popular throughout Europe as soon as plate armor was more fully developed in the mid 14th century. The mace was great against mail as all it had to do was impact and deliver blunt damage but with the advances of plate armor its effect was far less than it had against mail. The warhammer became so popular because it had the ability to deliver blunt damage with the flat (usually spiked) end and then an armor piercing spike on the back. Later, many warhammers would also have spikes on the top and a very popular version of warhammers were actually just the spiked part.

[@davidslutes6947]

Gotta love the Dark Milanese brigandine, goes well with Magdeburg pauldrons and greaves and Zoul helmet.

[@Elbowbanditest2003]

I use the zoul helmet for every arnour set because it's the only realistic bascinet in the game

[@Dare_To_Game]

I use the Zoul helmet for a lot of different builds, it is easily one of my top 3 helmets in the game, it replaced the hounskull for me when it was added.

[@Elbowbanditest2003]

@@Dare_To_Game me too, it looks way nicer I think.

[@jansvoboda4293]

My fieldwork kit is Dark Milanese with Magdeburg pauldrons/legs and Bell-shaped kettle helmet which is good for recon, archery and skirmishes. I use mail under it for fights and take it down for sneaking around enemy camps. You can get it pretty silent/hard to see. I also keep a fancy armor with full helm on my horse. Warhorse helmet is also of an interesting look, albeit a little different from everything else with scales around neck.

I am also a big fan. Whenever im going for a really fancy plate suit, its my first stop.

[@dadbodfitness9704]

Keep up the good work I just got kingdom come deliverance a few weeks ago as a father of four it took me awhile to by my self a system that could run this game and it's nice having current content thank you

[@Dare_To_Game]

Glad you like it. As a father of three, i understand that not everyone plays every game at release. Plus this game rules, and should be played all the time.

[@carinasmirnoff1780]

I always wished the game had more armor like the zoul armor. I prefer the heraldry to be right on the armor, instead of needing a waffenrock.

[@Dare_To_Game]

Well, historically speaking, many knights and nobles would wear enammeled plate where their crest, or colours would be right on the plate. THis both showed off their heraldry and protected their armor from rusting, so it served a dual purpose. I hope that we will see more of this in the next game.

[@DJWeapon8]

Hopefully the next game allows some armor customization. Take it to an armorer, have the cuirass enameled and decorated with your chosen heraldry. Which would also boost your reputation gain with that heraldry's faction, but also increase reputation loss if caught doing crime or unfavorable acts.

[@jakubhajek6157]

Could you make an armor that could someone in Henry's postion actually afford and wear? I'd imagine it would be something not too fancy but also not something only a peasant would wear.

[@WormsAreEverywhere]

Have you finished the main story?

[@DerEchteBold]

@@WormsAreEverywhere Haha, well, he has a point in any case! Our Henry in the game comes by extremely sophisticated and expensive equipment, way before he's enabled through the circumstances of the story.

[@shockwave6213]

If you go through the game organically as intended, his quality of obtained armor naturally improves over time. Even the cutscenes seem to Acknowledge this to some degree. He gets the Bascinet and Gambeson in Rattay to do his guard duties. Then when you rescue Hans, you can take a set of chainmail, gloves, bracers and a pair of padded chausses from the Cumans iirc. From there, the amount of equipment Henry loots and wears or sells to buy better kit creates a snowballing effect until Henry is canonically wearing a full blown knightly set of expensive armor for the final battle. However, being the complete psychopath min-maxing gamer I am, I butcher everyone in Skalitz during the Prologue and end up head to toe in the finest gambeson and chainmail money can buy. I think someone in Skalitz has couters with Jack Chains too iirc

Yep, "Morgenstern" means morning star and Bavaria is one of the 16 german federal states that make up Germany (probably the most famous one).

[@Dare_To_Game]

I'm pretty sure Bavaria is the region with most of the historical armorer's towns. I am pretty sure both Augsburg and Nuernbug are located there.

I just got this game so your vids are awesome because all the other videos are from 2 years ago.

[@Dare_To_Game]

Yeah, not many people still making videos about KCD.

[@shockwave6213]

Yeah, the distinctive Gothic armor look would start appearing about 15 or 20 years later than the game's setting of 1403 and reach its height around 40 years later. Then Maximilian armor evolved from that. It seems the stylistic choices for armor in German, Italian and English taste standardized in about 1440-1450. Personally, I prefer English and Italian armors because they generally have a more tanky build for foot combat. Classic Gothic armor is definitely a horseman's armor.

What would be cool is a templars gear. Like if there was this one quest that you help this old guy get ri d of past grievances (basically a lot of bandits) and he gives you worn Templar knight armor from his dad or something. It wouldn’t even be top 10 best until you repair it and it’s one of the most expensive repairs. “Its no worth it?” Well you get a cool and powerful armor.

[@Dare_To_Game]

That would be a cool detail/side quest. I hope that in Warhorse's next title, they try more outside the box stuff like that.

I have some questions(I guess) Where did you find Heraldic neckchain and red-white miparti hose? Also, you could've done two sets of german armor, because there are Magdeburg chauses/pauldrons/cuirass. PS: If you do another video, add Saint George sword, because german knights were christians, and you know.... :D

[@HurriShane00]

I prefer the German armor. Plus the Nurembergian chestplate is pretty rare..I think there is like 3 of them that you can get in the game and you can't buy it. Even though I prefer the look of the Magdeburg or Augsburg plate armor. I switch off between the 2 and keep the Nurembergian Chestplate. I usually wear a jacket over for extra protection too. Just not a fan of the brigandine chest plates.

[@Dare_To_Game]

After the tournaments, i prefer to use the Lords of Leipa CHestplate, and then eventually the Zoul one, but earlier in the game, i use the kuttenburg cuirass most often.

The commentor's name is Zhozef. Sounds like Josef 😂 Жозеф, Иосеф Translation for German stuff+ pronunciations and history. Morgenstern: Morning Star. Pronounced as Mor-gen (hard G) sh-taern. Bavaria or Bayern as we call it is a Freistaat within Germany. It was a Kingdom for a long time, even up into 1918. It used to have all of Austria incorporated which is why Bavarians and Austrians are very similar people. The Bavaria today did conquer some Frankish territory which is why it has a region called Franconia within it.

Great stuff but there was no such place called Germany until AD 1871. Before that it was known as the Holy Roman Empire for 1000yrs ( AD800-AD1919. If you count from Otto der Große it's AD962-AD1919. Either way, to last a millennium proves that it absolutely worked ), ...what's that say about the Electors of Brandenburg's pathetic rule over half of the old Holy Empire?
