At the time the game is portrayed the byzantines who also existed at the time had knights of their own who in my opinion look super baddass and can be a great fit in the game in terms of providing cosmetics to your costumization as a knight of the Iron Legions and thus extending your playtime. Hope to see this in the game cause it is awesome and historically acurate.
this is the image of a byzantine warrior/knight as i would like to see him in the game but there are other more accurate referances and images.
The byzantine knights used 1 handed swords,axes,maces and flails, 2 handed swords or axes and even maces and spear-like weapons such as pole weapons, halberds,spears etc etc and also used shields(round,kite,big,small) so they can possibly fit in any knight class.
We don't know the variety of armour selections for the Legion, so Byzantine-style armour and weapons could already be cosmetic options, but if they aren't, I think the devs should certainly consider incorporating them. It's a pretty good analogue to European knights, and I've always liked the look of lamellar armour.![]()
