My first impression of Halmayan faction was vastly negative compared to Cassians, in terms of design their armors are off-putting and look like a mix of assets from different games and packs. Helmets look stupid and dont fit the chainmail, chainmail on torso is mixed with leather in different spots and has plenty of texture issues. Chestpieces are bland and lack proper plating, lower parts don't even have a single plate piece and look very poor. Only few armor versions have any shoulder pads and armored bracers. On top of that their unique spear looks like its from some fantasy asset pack and doesn't fit their theme. In polish version of the Witcher there is a fantastic line that exactly describes their design "biedna pier....ona piechota/poor fucking infantry". Compared to great looking oriental armors from Cassian faction, Halmayans look boring, poor. and temporary, I'm aware that Cassian armors look so good and fit so well because they are from a standalone armor pack, but I'm also pretty sure there is another as good looking pack to replace the Halmayans.
Please consider improving their design

Instead of making them "oriental" (like the Cassians), the Halmayan could be redesigned as heavier, "Norman" or "Frankish" knights, the opposite of the Cassians (light cavalry/oriental). ...perhaps one faction could be red, one yellow, and the other blue, green, or purple—so recognizable colors for each faction. With red and yellow, you can see that; with faction 3, I think it's missing....Strategic and Visual Identity: Heavy Frankish/Norman Infantry
Instead of trying to compete with the Cassian's "oriental" look, the Halmayan should be redesigned as the Heavy Infantry or Frankish/Norman Knights of the world.

Rüstung (Armor): Focus on thick Chainmail layers with simple, prominent plate armor (cuirass, greaves) over the mail.

Waffen (Weapons): Replace the current "unfitting spear" with heavy, medieval infantry weapons like War Hammers, Poleaxes, and simple Broadswords with large shields.

Helme (Helmets): Use heavy, intimidating helmets like Great Helms or reinforced Kettle Hats to contrast the lighter, more open Cassian headwear.

Gameplay Role: Halmayans should be slow, heavily armored units with high health/defense, acting as a direct counter to the faster, high-damage Cassian units. This gives both factions a clear, distinct combat role

re: this piece in particular

just a sidenote tangent I've always wondered when playing this game: how come the footman's helmet is the only piece of armor in the game that is somewhat shiny? All the other helms and armor is dark, dull and non-shiny.

I find myself using the footman's helm on non-frontliners jsut cause they look nice lol.
Give us shiny armor like this, for tier 3 stuff anyway 🙏
