Royal Court of Argonia Faction Armours

[Ibsen's Ghost]

The fifth Faction poll to decide the armour and equipment for the different Factions concerns the Royal Court of Argonia. This means that it's the guards of the Royal Court and not specifically the Imperial Legion but rather the BM equivalent of the Legion. In other words, they're the BM 'cops' or 'militia' that have the powers to arrest you.

The first is my own painstaking retexturing of the Ordinator armour (pic #1) with symbols merged in that reflect the symbols that we are using elsewhere. Some have claimed that the overall style of the armour, however, is not what we're looking for. I'll be voting for this anyway though because it's my work and I'm clearly biased... =)

The second is the Dragonscale armour which has been seen on a previous poll in a different pic (pic #2).

The third is just a more 'marsh-resistant' standard armour from the Vvardenfell collection called 'StuddedLeather' (pic #3).

And the fourth is a wide collection of the Morrowind Imperial armours (pic #4). There are variations on three basic sets here and the idea is that one of the armours that you do not choose here will be used on any actual Imperial Legionnaires that you come across in the Black Marshes. Please specify which should be used for the Royal Court if voting for this option.

Please remember that I have to clear these selections with the makers of the mod before introducing them. Finally, you can check the development of these ideas from this thread that contains a number of the other options with links to the mods: Armour and Weapon Assignations to Factions and this thread which contains the previous 'final decisions': List of Factions .

I voted for my own creation. My justification for the 'it's too heavy for the marshes' comment is that these guys are mainly city-based anyway.

I am proposing that we use the dragonscale for the low-level troops who'll actually be on patrol in the towns, but would like to use Ibsen's retex for the elites guarding the Archeins (and, later, the Royal Court itself at Lilmoth). I think that the indoril retex looks too cermonial for the rank and file, but would look great on the guys guarding the thrones of the lords of BM.

I agree with Deeza. The less fancy armor that he mentioned for the patrols, and the more fancy one(s) for the higher ups. I personally like the retexture you did, Ibsen, on that one armor.

I'm not very lore savvy, but the above makes sense to me.

Aye, good point. Please feel free to add your own views, people.
