For that not to happen, i suggest that soldiers of every kind of human faction start spawning with chain armor and leathered chain armor. Not all men are capable of withstanding the massive weight of a dense iron armor. IRL the weight of plate armor is distributed so that it acts much lighter than it actually is. And plate armor isn't really that thick. I mean, how much do you need when it's a solid piece of steel?! Also, contrary to popular belief, plate is actually less restrictive than chain. Also, this would require design work, texturing, and coding. Time that I say would be better used for things like, you know, Easterlings and other Rhún stuff.
