Re: Remove some armor and weapons.
Some of the items in the game seem far-fetched in the setting of URW, i think it would be more coherent if some armor and weapons were removed from the game. I completely agree. I think this topic need more space here! The weapons of URW is very wierd and far from historical accurate, as the game is set in Iron Age Finland, that mean nothing, but I suppose the game is setted in early medieval times \ late nordic iron age(roughly from 8th to 11h) Weapon i think shoul de changed or removed: - 2-handed swords: apperead in europe only around 15th-16th century - Bastardsword: another type of sword dated around 15th century - Scimitar: shoud be more accurate to use the name saber, used by eastern cultures like nomadic peoples of the steppes and by the Byzantines in later times. The scimitar was a more curved blade used moslty by arabs as an evolution of the saber, around 9th. The scimitar started to be know in europe from 14th-15th - Shortsword: is not that bad, but should make more sense to call it skramaseax and to remove the guard, since shortswrod where not used in northen europe until 15th century. Before we used sword (petersen type for example) with lenght roughly between 70 and 100 cm in length - The CROSSBOW?!? I don't have really sources about it, I know there where primitive crossbow in roman and greek armies in the past, but far as I know, in early medieval northen-central europe, crossbow didn't exist. - Battleaxe: it's just fine, even if I'm not sure that finnish used two-handed axe in battle. I know some rus and in general slavic cultures used two handed axe, as well romphaia as a two handed polearm to swing, but honestly i think was not a battle weapon, but just two handed axes for timberwork, trasfromed in war weapons. The only I'm sure were scandinavian population that used the famished dane axe, and some druzina. The use in battle was not that easy, and people usually prefer to use a shield with a shorter axe - shield: not an error, since roundshield made of boards where very common at the time, but would be nice to add more primitive shield, used also by a lot of slavic cultures. A roundshield is not such a cheap equipment as a lot of people can think: you need fine boards to make it, some leather to reinforce the border, and a steel shield boss. In the past, the poor warriors used braided wicker shields, that can be a nice addiction - Absolutely agree about kneekops, since first we see in europe are dated around 10th in byzantine cataphract, and later in almost all armies in europe around 14th - Leather lamellar cuirass, i think work just fine, even if there is no evidence for any lamellar being worn by Scandinavian and Baltic cultures during the early medieval period and iron age. But was already used but some eastern cultures (Njerpez), and it is easy to think that warriors who could not afford steel armor, would have used leather instead (boiled in beeswax), which was much cheaper March 10, 2023, 10:53:26 AM |

Thanks you for these info! Very interesting... I will dig a bit Anyway I think two-handed axes are just fine in URW, and fit the area and periodQuote
yeah leather cuirass sound rough, sound like a thick leather apron. lamellar would me more accurate

Re: Remove some armor and weapons.
Thanks Sami for your quick reply! I'm absolutely with you as for merchants bringing goods from distant places, that was the case. I completely disagree with those who say "if there is no historical evidence, it means that it never existed". People tried what they found, and I'm sure many in the Baltic too saw, and sometimes used, lamellar armour. I'm a little more hesitant about shin-cops, the very first ones I've seen I found them on Byzantine finds, around the year 1000. Perhaps for swords, you could think of a method like this: rather than dividing swords in terms of weight, length, type of guard etc, it could be done according to culture. The Baltic sword, while similar to the Viking sword, had a very different guard and pommel, with curled steel, instead of a single block of steel in the guard as in the Viking swords. Furthermore, the Baltic sword, in some cases, was found with a wider blade at the tip (we are talking about a single-edged sword and not a double-edged one like the Scandinavian one). It could translate into the game like this (plus slightly different graphics) Baltic sword Being monofilament and slightly unbalanced, it could therefore have a big disadvantage for point attacks, and a considerable bonus for edge attacks. The guard, being wider and curled than other swords, could give a small bonus in parrying Viking Sword Double-edge, also excellent for lunging blows (although it was used more for slashing, just seeing its weight to understand it). Thus a more balanced blade, which can only be found from foreign merchants. there are many different designs of swords, and many small regional differences in their manufacture and shape. NPC's blacksmits are planned to make different weapons based on their culture? A lovely baltic sword recostruction Spoiler: show March 10, 2023, 01:26:46 PM |

Re: Some dumb modding questions
1) Flora_ created mod items could be set to be sold by NPCs thanks you very much! I didn't thought about flora_modded (you can not just set who cultivate that plant?), so I could hypothetically create an object (such as a precious mineral, cultural tool or whatever) that a population cultivates\sell, but which does not spawn by setting all spawn factors to 0 I will try some stuff with this idea in mind

Re: Modded weapons and armours not appear in the menu
Every item you want to add needs to be based on something that already exists, you can overide parameters to make your item different as in Thanks you. I remember that for other items you're not forced to base your item on vanilla as long as you set up all parameters. Good to know, thanks you March 11, 2023, 11:37:51 AM |
