      mail is the best armour, with lamellar coming in a distant second, and i will not budge from this

          one of the best things about chainmail was that it was cheap and easy to mass produce by comparison to other options

          not that that meant some rando serf could "afford" one, but it being a cheap easy to manufacture and extremely effect option definitely makes it the top tier

              coughs in kingdom come deliverance

              some people would probably pillory me for it cause chuds love that game, but its got a good combat and armour system, and the female love interest literally saves the main characters life in the intro section of the game, so it at least tried

                  lol.

                  stanning a game thats about getting revenge for the murder of a loving family with an adoptive father, where the main character bumbles around and wouldve been dead in the first five days if not for a woman being a badass... to own the libs?

                  shits wild.

              I’d love a fantasy role playing game that incorporates a robust armor system that allows you to mix together different pieces of accurate medieval armor, like gambeson under chainmail or chainmail under a tunic.

              There's a weird experimental game called Exanima, which currently just has a dungeon crawler mode and an arena fighter mode, but it does this extremely well. Many many layers of armor and they all affect how you are damaged based on the physics of the weapon and how it is swung.

              Downside is that no one moves like a trained fighter, they look like random peasants who are very drunk have been given weapons and armor.

              But it's still interesting.
