@TKogumelos is this clothing pattern exclusive to the Balearics? Or did Iberians also used stripe clothing patterns?

Could you also check if these clothing details and patterns are accurate for Iberian culture, since these are the current textures that we use for the Iberians

1.) The typical type we see in depictions

2.) Meander patterns

@TKogumelos

As for the helmets, I think if we can reduce the shine/spec for helmet I it looks like leather, maybe I can recolor it also and create lighter leather tones from it.

helmet I, helmet III, helmet IV and helmet V on the other hand are ones that are depicted as metal objects, what are your suggestions? Are they also supposed to be made out of organic material such as leather?

Also changed the footwear from laced boots into slip on boots and footwear with animal footwraps around it.

34. Looks really similar to the Montefortino helmet that the Rome faction use in the game, should we use it instead of the Gallic montefortino above or can those two be used interchangeably?

The Celtic montefortino isnt widespread in the Iberian peninsula. The Celtiberians never used it, only the Iberians of the North-East like the Illergetae. 

So we'd go with the Roman type? and maybe mix a small variant chance for the Gallic type?

Going back this somehow brings back the issue with the Iberian faction being a combined representation of different cultures, in my mind right now, I thought we are striving towards making this faction as a defined Iberian faction with proper representation of Celtiberians, since the faction structures and majority of the units are going towards an Iberian identity

@wackyseriousThe stripe pattern was introduced in the Balearic Islands by the Phoenicians according to Strabo. 

Iberians used other type of stripe pattern composed by two red lines.

@Genava55 @TKogumelos What about metal ornaments on leather helmets, like the one above?

@wackyseriousMaybe less decorated, perhaps more something like this:

but also it were found metal crests for leather helmets.

@wackyseriousMaybe mix in the same faction Iberians from the north and the south? The use of metal helmets is somewhat later but I think we can give ourselves a little "creative license"

@wackyseriousThe problem is bronze montefortinoes were introduced in the Peninsula by the Carthaginians during the Punic wars.

The breastplate (cardiophylax) is also something from an earlier period right? Not in use anymore during the Punic Wars?

For who? I think there many depictions of the cardiophylax still in use by the Romans, but I am not sure about what primary sources there are. There's the famous triple-disk cardiophylax found in North Africa (?).

For the Romans they definitely are using it during the Punic Wars, Polybius mentioned it explicitly. But for the Iberians and Celtiberians, according to the articles above, the evidence for breastplates seems to stop both in the archaeological records and artistic depictions at the beginning of the 3rd c. BC.
