Woah, criminally unknown and underrated mod. I like the gambeson for the light set, also Tullius armor is fantastic. But for the rest, I feel there are too many styles clashing, especially helmets, squamatas and lamellar cuirasses. (Which is still interesting given that roman legions were less standardized than we usually think)
Since it's a medieval iteration of the Roman Empire, I would've done something like "gambeson and new legion's medium chainmail" for the studded armor, "gambeson and lorica segmentata with Oblivion pauldrons and helmet meshes" for the heavy troops, the "lorica musculata with armored sleeves or chainmail, same with Oblivion pauldrons and red crest helmet" for the legates, and then the very same armor you did for Tullius.
Unfortunately I'm a total donkey at modding, all I can do is manually replace meshes and textures (even a child could do that, and I manage to f*ck up even there) otherwise I would've done it myself.
I guess I'll stick with your version (or the Byzantine one) anyway as they are really awesome
I decided to keep segmentata limited to battlemages because I felt it was too heavy for spy/bodyguards like the Penitus Oculatus, and I didn't want regular troops really using it because I feel like it's over represented and in general it's probably my least favorite type of Roman armor. But how I set this up was gambeson for light troops, chainmail and iron scale for the medium troops, steel scale for the heavy troops, with lamellar and brigandine for officers and then a musculata/plate hybrid for Tullius/Generals. I wanted to keep a blend of realism and semi lore friendliness. My Byzantine mod could use a bit of a face lift as it's age is definitely showing.
