Medieval True Armor Preset

UPDATE (Nov-2021):

- New, even more polished and fine-tuned preset

- Includes new TA unfitted armor mechanic settings (TA 2. 4. 7. required),

- Improvements across all settings

- fine tuned poison and stagger resistances

- corrected some speed penalties (max is -10%, before used -11/-12%, shifted to stamina regen penalties)

- Scaled armor slightly slower but stronger (solid price, also includes Guard armor & Dawnguard, so it makes sense)

- Generally slightly bigger diff between heavy and light armors (scaled tries to be in-between)

- Overall re-evaluated all settings to get a satisfying and coherent values which make sense from all angles: weight, coverage and armor price!

When I began playing Skyrim  I immediately started looking for a mod to make armors behave ...well, more realistically. After playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance, that became even more important. So I found True Armor (TA) by Anubis22. And it was what I wanted. Ability to have different armors behave differently in all aspects, but also being able to tune (almost) EVERYTHING. Skyrim is a game with millions of mods and players, so mod adjust-ability is hugely important.

Over time the author added three presets, Fantasy, Balanced and Realistic. Still, even the realistic preset wasn't exactly what I was looking for. There is already another realistic TA present on Nexus, but that one wasn't what I was after either. So I decided to spend some time and make a preset to complement my load order, which is focused on realism. I've spent quite some time on studying armors, medieval one but also Skyrim lore (to some degree at least).

Main differences from True Armor 'realistic preset':

WeaponSpeed, MoveSpeed and  StaminaRegen ranges are wider than in the mentioned presets. Magic and stagger resistances are overall closer to the TA_Realistic (TAR) preset, but different across armors. Body coverage by armor types was also changed a bit. Higher level Light armors are overall a bit weaker, especially Elven armor, while Scale armor is a bit tougher. There are many changes, all documented in a spreadsheet, which I will upload if there is interest. For now, I will just included some of the graphs which I used when I was adjusting the all the armors. Price vs protection (adjusted for speed & stamina regen) was carefully balanced. Rare/expensive should generally always be better.
