Another fact on Scottish history, Gaelic Christianity made its way as far as Northumbria. Some of the Anglo-Saxons were converted by the Gaelic church and I believe this came from Scotland, as an invasion from Dal Riata got utterly crushed by the English pagan Æthelfrith (literally me), during the time the English were starting to convert to Christianity.
More proof the Picts were influenced by the Gaels beforehand, as it was the nearby Gaelic church located in the hebrides that also converted the Picts. There were also 2 other groups that were ingrediants for modern Scottish culture. A Welsh kingdom in the Lowlands (Strathclyde), & the remnants of the English (after Viking invasions on Northumbria) around Edinburgh.

That's a very nice way of saying the Gaels exploited a good situation to conquer the Picts.
The Picts didn't speak Gaelic beforehand, however, they were already influenced by Gaels, likely from trade & a loss of cultural continuity with the rest of Britain.

The actual historical Picts looked quite different to this. Infact they existed before a lot of the weapons added in existed. I still think it looks great for an addition to a medieval modlist.

Picts often wore pants with no shirt, or a tunic with no pants. Idk how you represent that into Rimworld.
Consider adding new tattoo's based off the "Aberlemno 1" Pictish stonework.
Some unusual examples of the earliest cruciform swords can be found in 900-1000AD Scotland (I'm doubting the Viking origins).
Their shields were strange, often being small squareshields, H shields & small roundshields.
Celts were known to spike their hair up with limestone & have big mustaches, which is already in the game.

ps: If you plan to use this armor to make some Pictish warriors, I would recommend using Misc Tattoos mod as well, to get tattoos that look like they could presumably be Pictish warpaint.

@TroopieHarold, sort of! The Picts were people who lived in what is now Scotland. Viking invasions in the 8th century forced the Picts and their neighbors to put aside their historic rivalries and unite into the kingdom of Scotland. Interestingly, we don't actually know what the Picts called themselves or even exactly what language they spoke (probably related to Brittonic), we call them Picts because most of the information we have about their culture is taken from the Romans who called them "Picti", Latin for "painted", referring to the warpaint/facepaint they wore.

@Mlie,
Roger dodger. By the by, I'm still gong to credit you with the actual update. ;)

@Nomadic just tell me later and ill take this down :)
Legion 15 Mar, 2020 @ 8:48am 
@Mlie,

I might do that. I know I have some tweaking with the armor stats I have to do. But, I'm pretty surprised a request was made for that mod to be updated. I didn't think a simple medieval armor was popular enough. At any rate for the time being, I still thank you for taking the time to do what I should have done by now.
Mlie  [author] 15 Mar, 2020 @ 8:42am 
@Nomadic you are free to take the updated mod from the github-link and use that to update your original. I just updated this per request, if the original is updated I can just take this down

That said, thanks Mlie. It'll be a while before I can get back to what I was originally doing with updating dead armors, but I'll go ahead and leave this version that you updated here as the go-to until I can get back into the swing of things. That said, I added a link to here in my description page.

The original mod, "Rimworld: Medieval Edition: did have the Pict faction; however, the original mod author has yet to update his mod to make it work properly on 1.0, let alone update the whole thing to 1.1. I, however, have not had time to update my armor mods to 1.1, or even revive older ones.
