ICE AGE MOD
Yaay!!!
Current races:
1) Caelian Ice Age (below). Forced Cold+3
2) Ice Age Man (Man theme)
Iron has yet to be invented. Man uses armors of wood, leather, and fur, and weapons of wood and stone. Forced Cold+1
3) Ice Age Neanderthals (Ulm theme)
The strong and durable Ulmish ancestors went to battle wearing incredibly heavy stone-platemail armors. Forced Cold+1
4) Ice Age Saurians (Ctis theme)
I'm hoping you can guess
Forced Heat 0 or less (but still coldblooded).
Armors to be used for Man and Ulm:
(Possibly, the laminated wood will be restricted to Ice Age "Asia", whatever that will be named)
name=Oak_Shield aprot=2 def=2 enc=1 hands=1 shield=1 res=2 new=1
//A heavy shield of solid oak.
name=Laminated_Wood_Shield aprot=2 def=2 hands=1 shield=1 res=4 new=1
//A lightweight shield made of many layers of thind wood sheets.
name=Pumice_Shield aprot=0 def=1 hands=1 shield=1 res=1 fireproof=25 new=1
//Pumice is highly fire resistant, but very weak and brittle.
//Shields carved from pumice can protect against arrows, slings, and firey breath, but not heavy melee weapons.
name=Mica_Shield aprot=2 def=2 hands=1 shield=1 res=5 new=1
//When available in large enough sheets, the pliability and laminar nature of mica makes it ideal for shields.
//However, it is rare to find large enough pieces.
//*** Helms ***
//Mundane
name=Wood_Helmet aprot=1 res=1 new=1
//Wooden helmets are carved from a single block, and usually made of softwood.
name=Jade_Helmet aprot=2 def=-1 enc=1 res=4 new=1
//Jade is used for helmets, as it carves more readily than flint, though it is not as strong.
//*** Body Armor ***
//Hides
name=Furs aprot=4 def=-1 enc=1 res=1
name=Leather_Cuirass aprot=3 res=1
name=Leather_Hauberk aprot=4 res=2
name=Full_Leather_Armor aprot=6 def=-1 enc=1 res=3
//Wood
name=Maple_Breastplate aprot=5 def=-1 res=2 new=1
name=Laminated_Wood_Platemail_Cuirass aprot=4 res=4 new=1
name=Laminated_Wood_Platemail_Hauberk aprot=6 def=-1 enc=6 res=3 new=1
name=Laminated_Wood_Platemail_Armor aprot=8 def=-2 enc=1 res=8 new=1
//The latter 3 are platemails made of laminated wooden plates, sewn together with silk or twine.
//These armors are very lightweight, but their bulk impedes mobility.
//Their laminar construction makes them stronger and less flammable than ordinary wood.
//Creating the many-layered laminar plates is quite time-consuming.
//Stone
name=Flint_Platemail_Cuirass aprot=9 def=-1 enc=2 res=12 new=1
name=Flint_Platemail_Hauberk aprot=11 def=-2 enc=4 res=15 new=1
name=Flint_Platemail_Armor aprot=14 def=-4 enc=5 res=19 new=1
//Flint armors are carved and chipped into crude plates, pierced, and sewn together with twine.
//Stone lacks tensile strength and is more brittle than other materials, so despite its low density,
//the requisite thickness of the plates makes stone armors exceedingly heavy.
//Assembling the armor from plates is fairly simple...
//but mining, chipping, carving, and smoothing make the creation of such armors very tedious.
