No i was thinking of having an enchanted armor version of masterwork armor and then have an enchanted version of crystal Armor but then realized I could not combine them as it would then require both armors to have both crystal and metal.  Not sure I want to do that.  Instead I could make it so that you can enchant both versions but not sure if that breaks the spirit of the game for magic items being made of crystal.

Never mind I just realized I didn't add the new techs to the Tech Tree file so nothing showed up.  Ah well.  I will try to get this out by the end of next weekend as time permits.

Once I get this finished I will need some help making it modular.  At the moment its not even close to being compatible unless someone is putting this in their core files and then putting the other files in the mod folder.

Done* means its subject to balance still.  Everything will need a once and twice over for typos and such.  Needless to say I think this is finally starting to come together pretty nicely.

Anyone try it yet?

Not sure how will try to figure it out.

Files compressed.  Weapons tweaked a little.  Techs costs adjusted for tier values.  Let me know what you guys think.

I am changing short swords to do half slash damage and half pierce damage as that is how they work.  I could also do this for daggers.  Basically they are sort of cross over weapons. With potentially adding the scythe for the two handed version of these.

Here is what I am planning on weapons.

Blunt

Slash

Slash/pierce

Pierce

With each of these types it would have three sub-types,

Fast one handed

Slow One handed

Two Handed

After this I will make the upgrade tiers like the armors as well as the talent weapons.

I am also in the process of changing the structure of this mod for armors and robes and sets of armor for troops and pieces for champions/sovereigns.  I am also going to have the piece meal armors only available from specialized improvements once the master tier is reached.  

Basically the armors will be changed to remove a crystal only version and the new tech path will be this:

Regular ==> Masterwork ==> Enchanted ==> Champion's

Enchanted will be in the magic tier and be dependent on which Masterwork armor you have researched and will be broken apart into individual research trees within the magic tree attached after enchantment.  So something like this.

Charms ==> Enchantment ==> (Apprentice Robes)   ==> Superior Enchantment   ==>  (Adepts Robes) ==>  Advanced Defense

                                             (Leather)          ==>                                         ==> (Champion's Leather)

                                             (Chain)            ==>                                         ==>  (Champion's Chain)

                                             (Plate)             ==>                                         ==>  (Champion's Plate)

Something similar to this is the final plan with weapons added in there as well.

I will keep the old version up there as its the most similar to the current armor weapon system in Elemental and what I am going to make as the mark II version is going to be a fairly large departure.

Alright so here are the Mark II armor numbers.  These are firm but not completely set in stone yet as I am not 100% sure on the additional training times yet.  Currently I think they may be too high but I am not sure because of the drastically increased benefits of the upgraded armors.

To make sure this is clear, full armor suits would only be available for troop training and champions/sovereigns would have to purchase the piece armors.  Chest and Legs have been combined into suits, all items that were in these two categories will be combined into armor sets.

I think I have the weapon stats pretty well normalized and differentiated.  Tell me what you guys think.  The plan is for the Masterwork upgrade is that if its a fast attack it gets a 1 attack boost, slow attack 2 attack boost, and two handed a 3 attack boost.  Ranged will be 1 for fast and 2 for slow.  Same for enchanted except add 5% accuracy and additional attack but elemental based for appropriate element.  Champion's upgrade will add more elemental based attack and additional accuracy and something else, not sure what, I put resistance on armors so not sure what to put on final tier weapons.  Anyhow here are the stats for tier 1 weapons.

So I ran into a new problem from trying to change where you can purchase armor when you have so many different variables of traits.

Between Wanderlust and defensive you need 4 different armorers to cover the variations. Then add Light Plate and regular chain and you have 8 different versions of armorers just at the chain level.  Do it again for the plate level and you have 16.  Again for each of the masterwork level and you can see how this will be a problem rather fast.  While its doable and its not especially hard it is vastly time consuming and I am not sure its in my and the mods best interest doing it this way.  I think I am fine doing it like this up to plate and masterworks will unlock the way old armor used to.  Keep in mind this is wholly for sov/champ armor so special orders.  As such I am going to increase the prices across the board for all special order armors to twice what I have it now to account for merchant mark ups.  That and it gives an epic feel for that set of champion's plate armor you just spent 20,000 gold on.

Been looking at this, halmal.  And I'm liking what you are putting into it.  Keep up the good work!

I look forward to seeing your future work as well.
