Quote:But even a rich man cannot speed up the production process in ancient times where there is no industries to speak off. Sure, he got the money to buy enough body armour for his entire army, but where the hell is he going to find all those armour to buy from?
It would not be easy for a pre-industrialised nation to produce enough armour on the same efficiency as a industrialised nation.
the quality probably suffered a bit, but it was done. The montefortinos apparently can be seen of simpler construction, i.e. 1 rivet for cheek pieces instead of 2, no crest knobs etc.....
Visne partem mei capere? Comminus agamus! * Me semper rogo, Quid faceret Iulius Caesar? * Confidence is a good thing! Overconfidence is too much of a good thing.
