This list below appeared on the page until today. At first glance, it appeared to be unstructured and random. Only when I was prepared to replace it with an alphabetized list did I realize that possibly it was actually in tech-level order. Looking at it from that perspective, only Laced Armor seems grossly out of order (being a technologically simpler version of chainmail). The possibility that this might be in order of invention seems to justify preserving the list somewhere.
- Hide Armour
- Wooden Armour
- Leather Armour
- Padded Armour
- Linothorax- rigid cloth armour
- Ring Mail
- Chainmail
- Scale Mail
- Banded Mail
- Splint Mail
- Laced Mail
- Lamellar armour
- Brigandine
- Coat of Plates
- Plated Mail
- Plate Mail
- Plate Armour
- Full plate armour
- Munition Plate
Anyone care to shed any light on that list?
