Mod: Djinnibad - Nomads and Genies

I don't remember how good protection Furs give, but it's probably worth checking out all armors with less than 6 or so protection. I don't think there are that many, but that'd give more things to compare with. Something between 3 and 6 would probably fit best. What would Daraq be? 1 more Parry and bit less protection than buckler, or identical?


I'd prefer something like "Desert garb" for the armor's name, because it's more poetic than "armored robes" or somesuch.

Protection 7 is perhaps a few points higher than I'd give the turban, but no one has ever bashed my head with or without protetive layer of cloth so I can't claim to be any kind of expert.

[Aezeal]

yeah desert garb would do nicely.

[Aezeal]

Furs are prot 7, and full leather is 8
so desert garb will be 7 too

leather cap is 6, leather hood is 5
Turban will be 6 too

Daraq is now the same as a buckler

Desert garb is pobably the best solution. Thank you! And for daraq you are probably right, being as it was made of wicker-work with metal boss, it's surely easier to maneuver but less solid than usual kinds of buckler.
BTW, Aezeal, are your normal/light nomads stealthy? Also, they should probably often use javelins, as I refreshed today in my mind. Another idea that appeared re-reading that article is that as nomad warriors were often recruited for 1 campaign/battle only, it should be appropriate to make them disperse after battle which would allow Nomad player to quickly amass troops at need. But this is probably better reserved for MA...

[Aezeal]

yes conquest is hard when your whole army vanishes after the first battle

Javelins could be an option for some sort of ranged attacks

Maybe make nomads with scimitars and nomads with scimitars and javelins (how much throwing options do pplz with javs usually get in vanilla?)
