This is a sub-mod of RENAISSANCE. A mod with the theme on the wars that took place in Italy in the 18th century.In AD 1718, the kingdom of Spain invaded Italy.At the same time, the war between the Venetian Republic and the Turks continued.After Sardinia and Sicily were occupied by Spain, the wars around the Apennine Peninsula broke out among European countries. Perhaps you may serve a brilliant monarch, or organize a huge troops to sweep the entire Apennine Peninsula like Garibaldi, or you may be willing to help some powerful foreign Empire put Italy under their control.
These kinds of helmets as late as 1718? Interesting.
The austrians hung on to them all the way until the beginning of the 1800's. It was an effective design, In some cases being able to even stop stray musket balls, Assuming the helmet was made properly and with good quality materials.
Of course it was mainly intended for stopping Sword cuts.
