Ultra Armor isn't impossible to get w/o cheats - just incredibly difficult

If you're guilty of cheating in the past but wanna make an honest go-thru, look no further for hope of getting on that Ultra level of arms and equipment!

Don't cheat! Getting ultra armor is not impossible!

If you're at all like me where you'd rather not cheat but you thought ultra armors were impossible to get in this game, read on and check out the picture!

I found Imperial Scale Armor - the best imperial armor in game and the armor with the highest body armor rating - in Amitatys. I found it after 1400+ in game days. My kids are 14. I took all imperial fiefs. Most imperial towns are prosperous. Half the older nobles in the game have died of old age. My character has maxed out bow, riding, one handed, two handed, athletics, smithing, trade (I admit, I cheated on this one and smithing - IE mods - I added xp skill to trade after reaching 150 something. I had a mod to reduce the smithing grind). and one or two others I cant immediately recall.

And that's not all - I've found a lot of other ultra armors in other cities roaming around selling my crafted weapons. the brigandine over hauberk, northern lamellar over hauberk and over mail, vlandian coat of plates, southern scale armor, southern lamellar armor, northern coat of plates. All these places I bought these armors were prosperous towns. I regularly run into top tier helmets too. These came up about 1000+ days in game. The towns became prosperous from a very, very long period of peace. I managed to keep peace by not executing anyone and keeping positive relations with lords and monarchs from other factions.

So have hope, friends! If you gotta wear some cruddy eastern lamellar armor for 1000 days or so to do it honest, you can!

I also can confirm, that ultra armors exists. Funny, that I've found it on one of my fief (Makeb). But Khan's coat of plate is mine. And this is my very first ultra armor, which was costs over 350k.

Glad I found some confirmation for this, been playing out one of my saves for a few in game years for the first time, and was starting to wonder when the high-tier armor the lords were wearing could be bought.
