Plate armour is actually very mobile, since the weight is spread out and absorbed by the entirety of the body. There are also simplistic hinges and such that allow for fluid-enough motor movement.

Where'd you get this info?

 

[Elephantom]

And then you can have Walter and his men be the first people to mass produce it and be the ones to use it.

Flintlocks and cannons. Elysium will be unbeatable.

 

[Wandering Grim Hollow]

But the damage and fear factor!

True but the League has Tempest bolts and Tempest flamers for that.

Medieval warfare. Plate armour is actually very flexible. Cavalry armour is the huge and cumbersome one.

Compared to everything else in this how is "a very good archer with a big bow" overpowered?

Greatbows have a lot more power to them to pierce magical armor, plus they have the range advantage.

You're right, we're trapped in a world of badasses where everybody is just too damn overpowered. I bet even those little pixies can kill a man by gouging his eyes out.

You have ballistas for that, and magick-infused armour is too expensive and rare to be used commonly. And consider the price vs. range factor.

Heisenberg: "Can we stop arguing and fight already?"

Murali Mirko: "Hey... everyone... nice to meet you..."

Heisenberg: *Pushes Murali into the center of the crow* "Start fighting!"

Murali Mirko: "Um, OK!" *Mirko draws a sword and starts swinging it around at Elephantom*

Heisenberg: "What the... NOT HIM!"

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ probably.

Greatbows have better mobility and can be operated by one person, also how would magic armor be rare? Shadowz said roughly half a population can use the magic of their kingdom, that's a lot of people to enchant your armor for you if you can't do it yourself.

Until someone gets smart with irons and magic.

Exactly. Still, one shouldn't underestimate the heavy cavalry for their lack of speed — they can burrow a straight hole into an entire column, and send the whole brigade into disarray.

Which is why the cataphract is feared by the Greeks.

You just said that greatbows shoot spears? And then there's price vs. efficiency, luminosity's passive nature, the matter of revolutions and coups, and the price fall for normal weapons. It would send the economy to certain doom.

Ugh, so much information... don't feel like worldbuilding now.

Okay not actual spears, that was exaggeration my bad.

Not to mention, that armour-specialist mages can get an extra buck for the value. And, that mass production factories focus not on magic but on, of course, mass production.

I... should go to bed now... but my eyes are stuck on the screen.

Oh. I thought you were talking about some kind of mobile ballista. But, seriously, a magick bow that blows things to oblivion will SERIOUSLY decrease the value of many things.

 

[Elephantom]

You will participate in the world building.

 

[Historical Storyteller]

You will participate in the world building.

Fine, I may be sleep-addled now and I may be unwilling to participate... but I'll get my notes now.

Ahaha, sorry I meant to say really big arrows but spears sounded better.
And who's to say all of the arrows are explosive? When I meant enchanted I kind of meant enhanced accuracy and armor negating magics.

 

[Historical Storyteller]

You will participate in the world building.

WAIT A DAMNED SECOND, isn't it your job to stop me from worldbuilding so I can cook up a post in the IC section? But now you're encouraging me?!

But, think about it, the armour negation is already done by longbows? And again, the price vs. range factor comes into play.

Ahem, the topic for today is: MAGIC IN WARFARE

SLEEP DORK

Hmm, you still haven't thought about the hierarchy of clerics and the influence of the Lumin Church yet...

You will participate in the world building.

And you haven't given me a list of names for the guilds and corporations of Elysium yet!

No, its religion and economics. People don't fight without loot and people need to say their prayers before they die.
