2. Iron equipment quality depends a lot on the specific smith and process of forging. However, it surely shouldn’t be so weak. At best, more fac specific bronze equipment should exist, as Bronze with a good tin ratio could reach the level of Iron, though it was much more brittle.

3. Chain is already ‘existing’ in the mod, just have some imagination. Reworking every piece of armor to use chain would require massive unneeded effort from the Mod Team. (Plus, just to make it clear, plate did not really exist then and as such addition of Chainmail variants of each armor seems redundant and uncanon) Bronze is anything but super brittle. You really need to see the discussions being held in different threads.

I think you misunderstood me. I am not saying that chainmale should be used in all armors, I'm saying that steel should be used in all armors instead of iron.

At the very least, there should be a crafting recipe for chainmale (or just male, I know the phrase "chainmale" is redundant), and possibly male for all factions since it's weird to just have one form.
