Heavy Samurai Armour
LORE:
When the Red Rebellion swept the southern lands of the United Cities, the regular troops faced an unexpected problem. There were too many farmers. Dozens of angry poor people surrounded small groups of samurai, hammering them with numbers and agricultural tools.
By order of the Noble Lords, "Punitive Squads" were formed. A special armor modification was created for them. The blacksmiths added additional layers of high-carbon steel to the standard equipment and expanded shoulder pads that protect the neck from blows from above. Many samurai who wore this armor during the suppression of the uprising suffered back injuries due to its weight, but it was these units that cleared the lands of the United Cities of the rebels. Samurai in this armor did not run to attack. They marched forward slowly and inexorably, like iron walls, withstanding hundreds of blows from homemade axes and picks. They were followed by crossbowmen shooting at the crowd from behind the steel backs of the "Peacekeepers".
After the end of the rebellion, production was discontinued due to the high cost and low mobility of the fighters. Today, such armor can only be found among the elite personal guards of the wealthiest United Lords or among high-ranking samurai who have not forgotten the lessons of the great famine.

P.S.
Armor added to Elite Hunters, Eyegore and the Vault Warden in the Tengu Vault. It is created in the same way as ordinary samurai armor. UC Armor sellers don’t sell it, only the Armor King sells it in the Drowned Ruins.
Unfortunately, only the male version of the armor has been made, and there will be no female version. I give permission to modelers to modify, edit and modify this mod, but don’t forget to mention the author (me) if you share it or link to the original mod. Unfortunately, the mod will not be supported by me due to the banal lack of time.
