Corrections for unit equipment; v1.331 (Morcant)

[idibil]

This is the copies of the messages I sent to Idibil to rework unit equipment, hence some "side notes" here and there.

BRITON TROOP TREE


Unit Names to be changed:
- Varchogyon to Marchoc (simpler, very common word to mean horseman in brittonic languages)
- Gosgordd to Cadwr (Gosgordd means 'army' while Cadwr means 'warrior').

I won't list every object, but object types instead... Like mail armor stands also for byrnie, lorica hamata, etc.

Ailtt
Basic levy.
- 1st weapon: tools, wood axe, handaxe, knife, sickle, clubs (one or two handed), staff, forks (not metal, full wooden)...

Cadwr - ex Gosgordd

- throwing weapon: javelins (2-3)
- shield: medium or large flat round shield, medium or large lenticular shield

- gauntlets or not

Needed:

- scian (irish long knife)
- short swords

- bowl helmets (from SoT).

Note:
If you wish we can have another level of infantry here, the campgur or champion, with a tad better equipment (and then avoid swords, mail and big metal helmets for the cadwr).
The frankish helmet is your metal helmet, or spangenhelm. I guess you should restrict it to Britons, Jutes and Saxons, as it have a continental origin. Hence this better name.

Marchoc - ex Varchoguyon
Cavalry.
- 1st weapon: spear
- 2nd weapon: axe, swords
- throwing weapon: javelins (bag on horse)
- shield: flat round shield, lenticular shield

Needed:
- gaiters

Teulu

Needed:
- gaiters
- javelin bags on horse saddle
- scale armor
- bowl helmet (from SoT)
- maybe more variation in Briton helmets
- maybe more variation of medium size helmet, both flat and lenticular.

Note:
- ocrae are leg armor, known as "carbatinae with leg plates" or something like this... Which is weird, as you buy them for the leg armor, not the shoes!

Gwrda
Skirmishing infantry (I guess).
- melee weapon: knife, sax, scian, axe, short spear, short sword
- throwing weapon: javelins (bag), slings
- shield: flat round shield, small to medium size
- body: tunic (for most), padded armor, leather jerkin

Bweidd
Bowman.

Saethydd
Archer.
- 1st weapon: axe, scian, sax
- 2nd weapon: strongbow, longbow, crossbow
- no shield
- head: barehead, hoods, (most barehead), leather bowl helmet, leather helmets
- body: simple tunics, basic padded armor, leather jerkin
- legs: barelegs, shoes with barelegs, legwraps, gaiters.

Needed:
- gaiters
- scian.

Note:
The pictish crossbow should be renamed to crossbow. The crossbow nuts and the bolt heads known from the period were found at Buistan crannog, which was in Aeron, today Ayrshire, an area between Alt Cluit and Rheged, so it's likely Britons used crossbows aswell.

Generally speaking, I suggest to add more variety of tunics, shields, swords, legwraps and other pieces of equipment among one type of unit. I did not details cloaks. I think that excepts for levies, variations of tunics or armor with cloaks are excellent. You can also have cloaks wrapped around the torso as protection.


A few notes:
- fur armor can go in the same category than padded armor, to add more variety
- padded armors can perhaps get some more variation with cloaks or wrapped cloaks
- gauntlets can be used on all elite units (those with mail), but only made of leather
- of course when new objects will be ready and in I'll tell you which units can get those.

Dena pirate
Mostly good.
For balance sake, maybe some with light armor or no helmets, less swords, more spear.
Angons are needed aswell.

An idea for Dena and Franks could be to have 3 levels, to avoid players getting crushed all the time by elite warriors. Tell me if it's possible.

WOMEN
Lot of specific clothes are needed.
Currently women, including in towns, have male clothes and ugly headgear which is... Weird.
Only in the two last levels they could get "male" clothing, and it should be fit to their corpses.
No helmets for them.

The Slave driver should go with simple tunic, and possibly a sax or axe as secondary weapon.
The Slave hunter shouldn't get mail armor, but simple padded/leather jerkin/fur armor.
The Veteran Slave hunter should have a sword if he has mail. Same for the Slave hunter chief.
Remove also splinter leathers greaves as footwear.

MERCENARIES
There is a good deal of color issues for garnments, especially legwraps. Red ones should be for elite only, replace them with off-white, grey or brown ones for low ranking troops.

Final step for this phase, the Anglo-saxons. As units are basically the same from one to another subculture, my equipment list will stay so. Of course, feel free to put different items (colors, etc.) for each subculture.
Only difference will be for the elite, and more specially their armor. The best would have been to difference "southern anglo-saxon" (all Saxons, Jutes), showing a good deal of frankish influence ; the "northern anglo-saxon" (Mercians, Lindsey, Northumbrians) more classic with more brittonic equipment, and the "eastern" ones, East Anglia only, with Scandinavian (Dena) equipment.
Tell me if this is possible, or if this alter too much the trees.

I also had some troubles to figure out the exact characteristics of the Beadu rinc and a few others. This is reflected by their armour class, and first/second weapons.

That's it.

To sum up a few points:
- quite generic categories instead of precise object names
- adapt garnments relaiting to wealth
- lower frequence of mail armor, helmets and swords
- I forgot to add cloaks over mail, over tunics, etc.

Now I'm done on this I'll look at current objects to see what needs reworking, what needs new name, what needs to be removed, and of course what is needed for new items, with a priority list.

I'll also have a look at settlements, titles and characters.
