I don't get what you're trying to say.
Is your piece set in a fantasy world with technology that's like earth in 850 a.d?
Regardless, if plate armor is a relatively new thing in this universe then you shouldn't worry about that it means for tech evolution.
If you're doing an alternative history thing and it matters then just keep in mind that it would just lead to a lot more bludgeoning weapons (pic related would do, don't imagine someone just carrying around a club in case a plate armor shows up), as long as we're talking about the proper upper medieval/renaissance plate armor.
Or you could just say it's made of shittier material or with a less refined process and thus still be pierceable by spears and arrows and what not.
