What civilization would those goblins happen to be from? I'm obviously not on the up and up on who is who civ-wise. Because while not as good as my original idea, I'll need a name for what I plan to reconcile the conflicting design of the helmet I'd prefer to depict Hauben with.

My "loyalty to history" in this case stopped at color pallet and the design. I have a preference for the Sallet-bevor combo and light gray, and honestly it's a look that I don't think would look near as good in tan (that is, copper or bronze. I don't think it'd look good in light blue either. ) I consider it to be a style of helmet that looks cool and doesn't need any flashy embellishments, but it does need to be made from iron or steel to really shine and not look wonky (to my own tender A E S T H E T I C sensibilities anyway.) It just so happens it's also a helmet design that happens to work with Hauben's, since the back allows room for his hair.

But then, I'm a boring person who knows what he likes for armor aesthetics, and that's primarily based in real world designs, especially since you can only do so much before designs start looking garish and silly/out of place or too utilitarian and boring. Plus, I'd like to draw something pertaining to the thread, but what I've seen for helmets just don't look good to me personally.




Strictly speaking though Cathar, you're within the right to tell me to get fucked and call me wrong in absolutely every single area since this is your show.

EDIT: Edited for grammer, but on a third viewing I love just how calm and matter-of-fact that long-nosed dude sounds in my head in the previous action-y tinged update that showed that battle with the elves. "Do not surrender, we're not taking prisoners."

It's a sentiment I fully request we embrace should raiders inevitably come.

EDIT II: I do however now have a ridiculous idea for a rough sketchy comic thing. Who is the armorer?

Well what I mean is when is the last time you saw a sallet made of bronze or copper? I dunno if it'd look as good in tan/brown vs light grey, hence my wondering what we'd have locally available. Since having played a metal-less embark (literally has nothing but adamantine in Battlejudge, for ore which was absolutely horrible to me at the outset, but have since learned to live with,) I can say it's way easier to be able to source locally than have to wait for caravans.


The specific one is this kind. I'm quite fond of face concealing gear (partially because I'm absolutely dreadful at drawing dudes' faces, but mostly because they tend to look cooler than open-face ones.) This one in particular is even open enough in the back for that mass of floof Hauben has in the back, but is still good and protective.

Although in truth I've just found myself gravitating to this particular style of helmet in general and have yet to figure out why.

Also I should point out if dwarves come to trade there's absolutely nothing stopping the locals from working steel, it just can't be produced locally (which I generally chalk up to dwarves being unwilling to share the specifics on the recipe, both in terms of heat and materials.) And I figure having a militia packing steel gear would be a real testament to how wealthy the place is down the line, that they can afford such an extravagance compared to virtually any other human settlement.

And I have more as well! Finished mores!


Well, okay. And a warlock portrait WIP

Righto lads and lasses, got an update to this mod for you.

VERSION TWO NOW UP


v2, dubbed by me as the "Emergency Arsenal" update, is aimed squarely at some uncovered materials for bulk construction materials, as well as expanding options for zerg rushes and ammo production in the absence of quality smiths or lacking metallic resources, and allowing for making bulk loads of clothing. In theory, these should all be found in the vanilla workshops unless indicated here.

- Added new reactions that allow for crafting beds from ceramics, glass, metal, and stone plus some cloth at the respective workshops. [METALSMITH FORGE, KILN, GLASS FURNACE, MASON WORKSHOP]
 -- Metal beds can be made from Aluminum, Platinum, Gold, Silver, Iron, Copper, and Adamantine.
- Added bulk blockmaking for cermaics and all types of glass. Bulk block reactions require two additional units of fuel, but I have no idea how to work around this for powered furnaces. [KILN, GLASS FURNACE]
- Sawmill can now mass produce menacing spikes and shields in batches of 10 and 6 respectively. [SAWMILL]
- Woodcrafters can now craft wooden spears and maces in batches of 10 and 6 respectively from single logs. [CRAFTSMAN WORKSHOP]
- Stonecrafters can now craft stone maces and war hammers in batches of 6 from a single boulder and log, as well as make obsidian bolts from one obsidian boulder and one log in batches of 30. [CRAFTSMAN WORKSHOP]
- Leatherworkers can now make basic clothing sets from 3 pieces of leather (shirt, trousers, shoes.) [LEATHER WORKS]
- Leatherworkers can now make very basic leather armor from 3 pieces of leather (3 helms, 3 armor.) [LEATHER WORKS]
- Clothiers can now make a basic set of clothing from three bolts of cloth. [CLOTHIER]
- Glassmakers can produce glass-tipped ammo in each glass type from the usual materials and a log. [GLASS FURNACE]

If there's demand for it, I'll add additional bed reactions for the smith, but right now it's limited to the one stupidly common metal, and the most valuable non-alloys. There'll also be an updated patch added later for ZM's packs.

The main purpose of the weapon and armor reactions is for rapidly equipping a force on a budget. A well made stone club or wooden spear and a leather cuirass and helmet are better than no weapon or  armor at all.

Special thanks to Hugo The Dwarf for helping with the sand reactions and doing some spot-testing, and ZM5 for being the guinea pig for this.

And I finished this. Ra came out looking like an unhinged old mall Santa in a wizard costume.
