📋 About This Mod

This modification adds armor for the Imperial Legion in the style of Oblivion. I wanted to make a logical development of the legionnaires' equipment, which has a combination of ancient and medieval styles.

This armor replaces the standard game armor variants.

  • []Scout armor - used in the legion by archers and scouts, made of thick skin plates.

    []Infantry armor is a standard armor made of metal plates. Fits for each warrior with leather straps.

    []Horseman's armor - heavier armor used by riders and captains.

    []Legat's armor - covered with silver with gold patterns. Such armor is worn by Legates and high-ranking officers, as well as by the guards of the White Tower.

    []Penitus Oculatos armor - heavy armor of the Emperor's true guards. In such armor go the best fighters of the Empire, who take all the blows to protect Emperor.

    []General's armor is the expensive and best version of imperial armor. This armor is worn by General Tullius. The armor is made of ebonit.

    Also mod adds a variety of shields, cloaks and swords that match armor in style.

    In order to install this modification, you need to download the Base and unzip it to the Data folder, then select at your own discretion the texture archive and also unzip it to the Data. There are two types of textures - heavy (HD 4096 - 2048) and medium (2048 - 1024).
