That's Celts btw       ...damn Skyrim    :P
they also didn't wear to much armor      ...ok I'll stop being a knit-picker, sorry

Though I have to agree, blue and black/white would fit Anglea better than red and black. Especially since all their clothes, ships and buildings we've seen soo far has been blue and black/white.

And the scene you just painted in front of my eyes. I want it so badly.

Gato Blanco:
I agree, the Chinese also believe that red is a lucky colour, and a LOT of their shit is red.  Maybe the devs would quietly swap the colours of Anglea and Yesha?

Lord Dick Tim:
The blue thing was more from my own family history, the Ault clan symbol is a blue rooster, painted on the face.  We never knew where it came from, likely from exposure from the celts/angles I'm sure.  We still had members of the family drilling holes in their teeth and filling them with blue lines all the way up to the 1910's.
My entire community gives one of the Swedish engineers that works with a friend of mine chills.  He doesn't know what to think about the town when he sees the last names all have old viking clan names attached to french and english words or locations.

But ya, that scene... I'd imagine being higher on the tech side the Angleans would have invented or use some kind of body armor to protect their troops during these lightning raids. 

Ofiach:
I would think if they're raiding they would use intimidating armor. Mindfucks are sometimes more potent than raw power. Imagine them wearing armor to impersonate the demons or devils or evil spirits of every culture they raid.

Blasting war drums and raiding under cover of storms and nightfall, spooky. They would have a reputation as wraiths more than brutal bloodthirsty marauders.

Settlements would run for the hills the second drums started beating. Imagine one ship pounding wardrums, a small settlement runs for the hills, the ship comes in takes what it wants and leaves. No muss no fuss.

They could use multiple tactics, attack then start the drums to ingrain the fear of the wardrums, then use that ingrained fear to cause people to run from smaller settlements.

Gato Blanco:
During the vietnam war, the bicycle card company, at the request of the army, sent a ton of card decks, of just the ace of spades.  The vietnamese feared the ace of spades from their previous occupation (The French, I believe).  The army, after leveling a village, would spread around a few decks worth of cards to scare the locals

I can see the Angleans mucking up the place with ancient Anglean runes for "LOLBUTTS" after a raid on a place they dont want rebuilt, like a military installation.  Means nothing to them, but terrifies their enemies.
