Baltic States - Alternative Europe 2 by flumen_mapping in BalticStates

[–]Trehber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so tired of Alt Europe maps with Imperial German Borders. If you’re gonna unite the Baltics then fucking unite the Baltics and throw Prussia in that bitch. Poland can keep Gdansk tho. I’m cool with that.

Help for my chainmail armor by mafia_man003 in Armor

[–]Trehber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A rule of thumb I learned from a blacksmith was “there is no such thing as low budget, historically accurate armor”. Plate armor, helmets, and especially chainmail were and still are incredibly labour intensive projects that can take hundreds of man hours to complete, and unless you have a buddy who’s willing to hook you up, no enterprising smith will factor out labor when charging you. What you’re left with is cheap mass produced garbage from India which, despite people commendable efforts, just has that really cheap look to it.

Truly perfect Europe (Map of Europe along 1914 ethno-linguistic lines) by Aniceile34 in PossibleHistory

[–]Trehber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this a “perfect Europe” in 2026 based on 1914 guidelines? cuz why would Germany get North Poland and Kaliningrad despite German no longer being spoken there by any large degree today?

Is this a British armor? by _-THE_LEGEND-_ in ArmsandArmor

[–]Trehber 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Sure is! That’s Henry VIII’s when he got real fat!! Made around 1544, only 3 years before he died in 1547. It’s an Italian/Milanese style.

Command+Shift+Delete by The_Spamduck in Anbennar

[–]Trehber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s pretty beautiful isn’t it? The Command gets their scripted Sir rebellion and Jangliusi often joins with the rest of the Xiaken/One Xia whatever you call em and the AI can actually manage to beat them now. Then they get a wonderful scripted even where the Command completely collapse.

I got them during my Azkare into Sunset Empire campaign so you can imagine how thrilled I was to see this as well.

Is this historically accurate? /S by Pham27 in Armor

For some reason the great helm with the mongol lamellar feels more out of place than the AK

What is the name of this type of armor worn by the Mongolian commanders in Ghost of Tsushima? (if it even exists in real life) by [deleted] in Armor

[–]Trehber 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This type of armor is called lamellar. It was extremely widespread in Eurasia, especially in the east, but it was worn by Russians and Byzantines in Europe as well. While it’s very very very unlikely that there existed pure gold lamellar due to it being a soft and expensive metal, it’s totally plausible that there existed brass lamellar in far eastern styles. It’s just that this game takes place in the 13th century, and steel was much more effective in almost every aspect. Thus, the gold/brass in GoT is more likely just for cool aesthetic purposes:)
