@High King Ithilion - Plate armour in the mod is not an error. I also have to remind you that it's not you who's making this mod, and I don't mean that to sound rude, but, well, you're not. Even if your ideas for the mod are quite close to our vision.

 We're all very aware by now that mail would be more canonically accurate. But that does not mean we are mistaken in including plate armour. Ultimately, it's up to me (and the rest of the mod team). If we want to have some armours styled as plate, whether that's for more variety, or using what has been called 'the resonance of high fantasy', or even if it's just how we'd like it to be - it's our decision.

And the community of people who follow this mod have such a wide range of desires, of ideas for where we should take the mod, what we should prioritise - it's not easy to cater to everyone at once. Let alone what we want for our project.

But to address those concerned about 'lore accuracy': I do think that including the 'wrong' kind of armour texture is much less egregious a deviation than some things done by other adaptations. And what's more, if people don't like the plate armour - by all means use a texture pack to change it! That's what they're for, after all.
