📋 About This Mod

The creator of this mod is no longer updating it, and many DLC items haven't been added, so I decided to make a new one.

1. What does it do?

Make the armor's protection and weight more realistic and closer to reality. Close to the real protection of medieval plate armor. You can no longer easily kill a plate armor knight with 2 sword attacks, and the enemy can no longer easily kill you wearing plate armor with 2 pitchfork attacks. The armor's protection will be closer to the real value.

You can't kill a plate knight enemy with two sword attacks, and a bandit can't kill you in full plate armor with two sword attacks. Restore the protective effect of armor as much as possible. Everything is close to reality. Now facing a full plate knight, you need to prepare a hammer. The sword can't break the armor, unless he is not wearing a mask and you hit his face at a specific angle. In the original game, the sword is too powerful and can be countered by the master, and the hammer is too weak. Even against knights. This mod changes this. When dealing with unarmored and lightly armored enemies, the sword is still the best choice, but when dealing with full plate armor enemies, hammers and long-handled weapons will become the best choice.

This is achieved by changing the stab protection to 2 times, the slash protection to 3. 22 times, and the blunt protection to 1. 66 times

In the real world, the damage of a hammer hitting armor is 3-5 times higher than the damage of a sword hitting a helmet. The numerical design of this mod is consistent with reality.

There have also been slight adjustments to some weapons and food.

There are also some little Easter eggs

true_balance_and_combat:

This is the comprehensive version, which includes armor forging recipes, stamina adjustments, and more.

true_balance_and_combat_add:

For the standard version, only the armor values have been adjusted and a new piece of equipment added.

This MOD comes with armor forging recipes and the recipe for Küttenberg Armor.

1、Newly added option that only increases armor value
