Description
This mod aims to make medieval/neolithic runs a bit more fun. Also includes a fix for Combat Extended's Vanilla Weapons Expanded's Throwing Knives (In CE currently they have infinite armor pen, there is an additional small patch included in here which corrects this)

This mod can be safely added or removed to a save at any time, so if you want to give it a try there is no risk of messing up your save! (One thing though, since this mod does increase the HP of plasteel, if you craft something with plasteel using this mod and then uninstall the mod, the HP will lower. Conversely, if you have items made of plasteel and ADD to a save, since the max HP of plasteel items are increased, the % durability of your current items will lower)

Update: Added the spear as a one handed tagged weapon

Added longsword as one handed weapon

Added neck coverage to vanilla armour expanded's "light plate armor" (note: if you don't have armour expanded this part of the patch will just be ignored by the game)

Removed middle layer from light plate armor

Edited crossbow to be more viable for player use. May adjust down a bit as it is currently quite strong. Plans to adjust crossbows from other VFE mods accordingly eventually

RECOMMENDED!
Pairs well with my Mithril mod, I designed the stats of the materials to work around these new stats!

Sick of getting your nuts blown off by tribals with shotguns, and ruining your medieval immersion??

No more tribal guns for CE patch! https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2337700835

I’m assuming the heat armor is for fighting against things like the vanilla expanded lasers?

@SolarFlare1234 Why you ask Tynan??He's not the author of any mod

wake up mister tynan, wake up and smell the updates

a longsword is definitely not a one-handed weapon.

Are there sliders to adjust your changes? The protection and armor piercing values of wood especially are insane.

I'm seconding a request for a Materials Expanded - Metals patch, I'd love to have them work together nicely.

im currently using CE with materials expanded, and now the edited materials are broken against their counterpart metals, for instance titanium (which is supposed to be slightly worse than plasteel, has like 120% armor pen on melee weapons, but uranium has like 350%!
Richard Mc Nutbuster 2 Sep, 2021 @ 8:20am 
could a patch for materials expanded - metals be made?

my mistake, was probably thinking of a broadsword/arming sword

Just me being a history nerd, but longswords were historically meant to be two handed, but People still could one hand them, so no real problems here.
