Ancient Nord Armo(u)ry EXTREME AE (inc. Stalhrim and Ebony Armors)

Hiya, sweeties.

Uh

Yeah, this took a while, sorry.

In 2020, I released a Skyrim armour overhaul mod Ancient Nord Armo(u)ry EXTREME LE/SE, a mod that splits the male and female Ancient Nord armours into respective unisex heavy and light variants, adds a shield, adds Nord Hero versions, modifies unique Ancient Nord armour pieces, and tweaks Nordic Ruin levelled list item distribution.

Since ANAE V1. 1 in 2021, I was in the process of making ANAE V1. 2 with new armours and some reworks. However, a combination of the influx of new ideas, the release of other mods to be consistent with, other Butane Boss pursuits, fluctuating modding interest, and that pesky thing we call life, saying that I took my time on this would be one hell of an understatement. This version ended up becoming a world of difference from ANAE V1. 1 and the humble V1. 2 it was intended to be, so this is v2. 0 aka. ANAE:AE.

New start, new year, new EXTREME...

...and clearly, the time has come to get...

In this version, I have reworked the Heavy cuirasses. Instead of having the Medium Armor that no one would ever want to use, I have instead introduced a new tier system analogous to the Draugr enemy types (an optional module reverts this back to one set of heavy cuirass). The two light armour cuirasses from ANAE:LE/SE have been merged into one Light Armor set, based entirely on the vanilla female Ancient Nord Armor.

In addition to the armour pieces derived from the vanilla armours, I have added entirely new sets reminiscent of armours from The Elder Scrolls III: Bloodmoon: the Ancient Skaalic Armor (Nordic Mail Armor), the Ancient Nord Ebony Armor and the Ancient Stalhrim Armor Set, and each of these have their own Hero set (for transparency, Skaalic is a reskin of Ebony).

The Ancient Stalhrim and Ebony armours were made to compliment mods containing Ancient Nord Stalhrim and Ebony weapons (such as Ancient Nord Stalhrim and Haugbui). I do recognise that it is unfair to make all of you download another mod for a complete experience, so the Stalhrim and Ebony Module is there as an optional module.
