Just saw this mod a few weeks ago and the designs were interesting, including the green and purple versions. For me, they appear like Elite Imperial Legion Battlemages. Wonderful mod!
Just one question, can you suggest what kind of shield that would pair well with this Black Battlemage Armor? Something in the game or through the mods. Just curious and all. Thanks! :)
Hm, even though it's heavy armor, I think the ebony shield or especially the escutcheon of chorrol go quite well with the black version. For the green version the glass shield and for the purple version I think maybe one of these: https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/18567
Great mod. Armor looks great, especially considering there's a lack of good light armor mods, and this one isn't immersion breaking. Shame there isn't an immersive armor pack for this game similar to Skyrim.
I've tried to figure out an impromptu replacer for your textures with the ones from Local Guard Features (the mage guard ones), but could not understand what was what. I don't care which mod came first, but is it possible to make this armor more... mundane? with some tamely-colored robes, and simple metal armor...?
You could replace the texture paths in nifskope with the original legion armor and a random robe you want and think is fitting. Alternatively, this mod has the same armor in a more "mundane" look, but it is only added to NPCs (but can be looted from them): https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/48733 (The black armor color from the screenshots comes from this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/6647, by default the armor uses the standard legion texture.)
Did you search in the watchtower at the arcane university? Maybe something else overwrites this mod. You could, try to put it at the end of your load, order and see if it shows up.
