could this work for an Alexandrian Late XV Century Knight?

I must say I am very impressed by this idea and I think it has huge potential, I am infact a bigger fan of "make believe" modifications than I am historical ones because they are so unique, you go into the game completely devoid of any knowledge of the environment in these case and you come out as a real fan of the work, I would if I had the means and time convert my own works into Total War as I think they provide such an interesting alternative.

Hopefully this will come to fruition caius britannicus, I will certainly look forward to it.

Its gonna be a task. Especially if modelling turns out to be an ordeal. Although the plan is to utilize CA orginal meshes and add the odds and ends to them instead of trying to develop original meshes. But that sort of thing is months in the future. Right now its all about developing the histories and concepts.

Fil: Its not a bad idea for a late XV century helmet. Part of the Companian Guard Cavalry maybe. I haven't really developed later armor as I am working right now to develop the earlier stuff. For instance here are some helmets from a few weeks ago (they predate the drawings I posted above) as well the top four are early thracian great helms designed to be used with the Companian Guard Cavalry:

The bottom two are infantry designs.

This is a mamoth project, but it could be very cool. Good luck with it

Great designs, again!
You said earlier stuff. Does that means 1100-1200 AD or 600-800 AD?

ya 12th-13th century.

You know, mixing ancient greek phalanx formation military tactics and 12th century military tactics, it could turn out to be a ground-supported,heavy, long barrel musket tactics by a bayonet. in this case more like a spear. So, Greeko Fallango Musketeers could be firing, while being protected with a spike wall. THey would no be easy target for cavalry as other infantry.

Hoplon could be replaced by a chest guard. Heavy helmet could also be replaced, by a segmented similar looking helmet, this time made out of steel, not bronce.

It would be a good idea, but i thing that there weren't muskets in the 13th Century.

And oter thing... If there is no christianism, there can be no 13th or 15th century...
