Scale armour offers better and more solid protection from piercing and blunt attacks than chain mail. : 78–80 Comparison with other armour types It is a protective jacket with scale-shaped metal plates, possibly made of brass. The Javanese people has a type of scale armour called siping-siping. "A primitive type of Japanese harness, the single laminae being of boiled leather, cut and beaten into pieces shaped like fish-scales." Indonesia Japanese scale armour constructed from fish type scales ( gyorin kozane) were reportedly constructed in Japan as far back as the Fujiwara period (11th century). Japanese (samurai) individual scales are called kozane. Horses covered with scale armour are mentioned in the ancient Chinese book of poetry, Shi Jing. ![]() Ming dynasty tomb guardian statue in mountain pattern armour, a possible variation of scale armour Sir Albrecht's armour appears to be additionally riveted to the backing. The funeral effigy of Sir Albrecht Von Hohenlohe circa 1325 AD depicts him wearing scaled body armour underneath his surcoat and over a mail haubergeon. The use of these scale armoured components is commonly depicted in period art and funeral effigies. There is also evidence for scale sabatons (protective shoe coverings) and scale aventails. It was commonly used to augment other armour types, predominantly mail, but also plate armour taking the form of a cuirass over mail, scale pauldrons, or faulds (the lower part of a breastplate that protects the lower stomach, hips and groin). Metal scale armour was used throughout most of the European world for the duration of the medieval period.

Again, in the collection of marble portrait-busts from the great Gallo-Roman villa of Chiragan near Toulouse, the Emperors Antoninus Pius and Severus both appear wearing corselets of scale armour. The Carnuntum monument of Calidius (a work of the middle of the first century) shows also a scaled tunic of a centurion. ![]() On two tombstones of the Sertorii at Verona (one that of a centurion, the other that of a standard-bearer) both figures are represented wearing a tunic of scale armour which covers the shoulders and comes down below the belt. Scale armour is not of frequent occurrence on the grave monuments of the German frontier. In these areas, scales were commonly dished (that is, with a bowl effect from a depression being hammered into a flat piece of metal) in order to benefit from the extra protection offered by a rounded scale.Īccording to the statement of Herodotus, the ancient Persians wore tunics with sleeves of diverse colours, having upon them iron scales of the shape of fish-scales this comparison indicates scale armour, and not mail, is meant. Hellenistic-Attic lamellar armour was also widely used in Middle Eastern empires, such as Persia and Byzantium. ![]() ĭuring Roman times, scale armour ( lorica squamata) was a popular alternative to mail ( lorica hamata) as it offered better protection against blunt force trauma. The individual scales used to construct Roman armour are called squamae or squama. Only the "lowermost" holes are visible on most scales, while a few show the pair above and the ring fastener passing through them. Each plate has six holes and the scales are linked in rows. Some finds indicate partial armour, where a leather shirt or similar garment has sewn-on scales in places, particularly around the neck and upper chest.įragment of lorica squamata. The armour was made from small plates of iron or bronze.ĭue to the semi-rigid nature of the armour, the Scythian variety was made as breast- and back-plates, with separate shoulder pieces. The Scythians' horse warriors appear to have used scale or possibly lamellar armour, evident both from contemporary illustrations and burial finds in kurgans. The Romans also had a variant called lorica plumata in which the scales were attached to mail. Other types of armour made from individual scales but constructed in a different manner have their own separate names, such as lamellar armour where the individual scales are perforated on several or all edges and lashed tightly to each other in straight ridged rows and do not need to be attached to a backing. ![]() Lorica squamata is an ancient Roman armour of this type. The scales are usually assembled and strapped by lacing or rivets. Scale armour is armour in which the individual scales are sewn or laced to a backing by one or more edges and arranged in overlapping rows resembling the scales of a fish/reptile or roofing tiles. ![]() And with multiple difficulties on each level, each granting a different number of stars when they are beaten, there’s a lot of content to go at before you can claim to be a Master Mushroom Warrior.ĭoing so won’t be simple though as Mushroom Wars 2 is very much the definition of easy to pick up, difficult to master. Sticking with the single player for the time being, there is a lot of content to go at, with over 100 levels split over two chapters. The presentation is pretty much as you’d expect of an RTS, yet what about the gameplay? Well, it is split along two lines – that of the single player campaign and the multiplayer modes. The little mushrooms you control are pretty cute to be honest, and you almost feel bad for sending them up against other mushrooms, but they’re not to reason why and all that. But when the alien mushrooms (don’t ask!) capture the same structure, it shoots lasers instead. So should the red mushrooms, as an example, capture a tower, that tower will fire out cannonballs. In this arena there are a number of structures that can be captured, and in a nice touch, the structures change depending on which faction occupies them. Each battle that you take part in, in the single player or the much vaunted multiplayer (more on that later), takes place on a single screen, in an arena type setting. As you’d expect from a game that has found success as a mobile title, the graphics are small, but quite well detailed. ![]() With the reason for us going to war sorted, it’s time to examine the game in depth and what better way to start than with the presentation. It’s almost like conflict is inevitable or something… Not just any mushrooms, mind, but sentient mushrooms who can not only organise themselves into armies, but can utilise magic, forge weapons and then, inevitably, go to war with other, differently coloured mushrooms. After a while, as Jeff Goldblum says, “life finds a way” and mushrooms start to sprout. The world has been struck by a massive meteorite, and all life seems to have been destroyed. ![]() You don’t need to have played the original Mushroom Wars in order to get the most out of Mushroom Wars 2. Under these conditions, the bars may grow into barrier beaches or islands and the estuary can become permanently blocked. ![]() The streams or rivers flowing into bar-built estuaries typically have a very low water volume during most of the year. In the animation below, rising waters flood a low-lying river valley, creating a coastal plain estuary.īar-built or restricted-mouth, estuaries occur when sandbars or barrier islands are built up by ocean waves and currents along coastal areas fed by one or more rivers or streams. Other examples of coastal plain estuaries include the Hudson River in New York, Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island, the Thames River in England, the Ems River in Germany, the Seine River in France, the Si-Kiang River in Hong Kong, and the Murray River in Australia. Coastal plain estuaries are also called drowned river valleys. As glaciers receded and melted, sea levels rose and inundated low-lying river valleys. These, and most other coastal plain estuaries in North America, were formed at the end of the last ice age between 10,000-18,000 years ago. The Chesapeake Bay on the East Coast of the United States and Coos Estuary on the West Coast are both coastal plain estuaries. Fjords are steep-walled river valleys created by advancing glaciers, which later became flooded with seawater as the glaciers retreated. Tectonic estuaries occur where the Earth’s tectonic plates run into or fold up underneath each other, creating depressions. Barrier beaches and islands are formed by the accumulation of sand or sediments deposited by ocean waves. Bar-built estuaries are characterized by barrier beaches or islands that form parallel to the coastline and separate the estuary from the ocean. In fact, most estuaries are less than 10,000 years old.ĭrowned river valley estuaries are formed when rising sea levels flood existing river valleys. In geologic time, which is often measured on scales of hundreds of thousands to millions of years, estuaries are often fleeting features of the landscape. The four major types of estuaries classified by their geology are drowned river valley, bar-built, tectonic, and fjords. Classification by GeologyĮstuaries are typically classified by their existing geology or their geologic origins (in other words, how they were formed). The quantity of seawater in an estuary changes with the changing tides, and the quantity of fresh water flowing into an estuary increases and decreases with rainfall and snowmelt. The amounts of seawater and fresh water flowing into an estuary are never constant. The coastal elevation also determines the rate of fresh water that flows into an estuary from rivers and streams. For example, movements in the Earth’s crust elevate or lower the coastline, changing the amount of seawater that enters an estuary from the ocean. The Ontario government held an in-person public education session to learn "how to navigate" the new interchange.Īt that time, an animated drive-through video was released showing how Ontario's interchange works.The features of an estuary are determined by a region's geology, and influenced by physical, chemical, and climatic conditions. There are currently two diverging diamond interchanges in Canada, one in Calgary and the other in Regina. While diverging diamond interchanges will be new to drivers in Ontario, they have been used in other places, like the U.S., for years. "This interchange design will reduce the number of vehicle conflict points and allow unrestricted access to the QEW." ![]() "A diverging diamond interchange provides easier access and flow for traffic, cyclists, and pedestrians,” the ministry said in a statement to CTV News Toronto. This image shows how traffic will flow in Niagara's diverging diamond interchange. The diverging diamond interchange eliminates the need for motorists to make any left-hand turns when entering or exiting the highway by using a series of interconnected crossover lanes controlled by traffic lights and highway signage.
