[REL] Armors that shouldn't be there

Based on Stardocks beta armors

from Elemental Forums

First of all this wasn't my idea at all. KillzEmAllGod came up with taking some of the old beta armors and I basicly took that idea and made my own version.

 

So what it does :

It adds some armors that actually once were available but somehow didn't make it into the final game version and makes them researchable with (hopefully somewhat) balanced stats and prequisites.

I didn't take ALL armors that could be found inside the CoreSpecialArmor.xml. Instead I only took a couple that were already usable in some way.

Most of them can be used when designing units (as long as you researched the tech) and some can only be equiped to heroes. Also there are different types of armors for male and female as well as for kingdom and empire.

 

Just place the file into your ../Documents/My Games/Elemental/Items folder and enjoy.

Version 0.5 (right click -> save to) : old_armors.zip

Version 0.5 SC Edition : old_armors_sc.zip (This version makes all new armors available in souvereign creation. However it makes the game highliy unbalanced since your sov gets the armors right from the start....it's no fun this way)

[EDIT : Since some had a problem downloading the XML file directly I reupped it into a zip file.]

Thanks, cool looking armors.  I can use these to make specialty armors that will actually look different.

sorry i'm kinda of stupid but i can't download your mod.  Is there anyway to get a xlm file in zip or rar form?

Nice work, I was waiting for this one!

You should team up with wraithstalke and KillzEmAllGod to do one MAJOR Armor's modpack or something. I think you three are the best armorsmiths in the Elemental world. Or... just keep doing what your doing because it's fantastic.

Downloading now. Can't wait to see my new soldiers looking more badass.

Just right click and click 'Save Link As" then you can download it from here.

Hope you guys like it. I think I might change some of the stats further as right now all armors are pretty high tier.

 

If somebody wants to use the armors during souvereign creation just open the xml file and delete the following line from each armor piece (easy in notepad just press CTRL+H put the line in the searchfield and leave the replace field blank)

    <IsAvailableForSovereignCustomization>false</IsAvailableForSovereignCustomization>

Link broken for me...

Well the link did just fine...however I packed it into a zip file now. That should make things less complicated. You have to unpack it into your .../Documents/My Games/Elemental/Items/ folder.

Added a version that makes all armors available in the sovereign creation. I personally don't like that, it breaks the game in terms of balance but if you want to take a closer look on the new armors or just want to be badass right from the start, this version is for you.

I'm not going to use them (in sovereign creation) but it'll be fun just to be able to look a them :)

oera, YES, I have been using it with only the imbalance factor, BUT as I am using  a rediculous world, it does help to balance overall
