Armor Value Rebalance

Description
Increases the item value multiplier for armor pieces, from default 10

High Boots 5 -> 7 (14 for a pair)
Helm 10 -> 15
Shield 10 -> 15
Mail Shirt 10 -> 20
Greaves 10 -> 20
Breastplate 10 -> 30

Gauntless can also be made of leather to allow cheaper full armor sets.

The idea is to give a reason for caps/low-boots/bucklers to exist, at least at embark. It would probably be reasonable to make helms, high boots, leggings and shields to cost 2 bars to make. Open to feedback.

Yep, should be absolutely fine with modded materials. The mod files do not reference materials in any way.

so this should have no issues with modded materials?

All materials are affected. A cow leather helm costs 15pts at embark, 30pts for copper, 150pts for iron, all 50% higher than normal. An objects value comes from the item value * the material value, plus quality and decoration. This mod changes the item values.

Is this just for copper?
Darkweave  [author] 1 Nov, 2023 @ 2:08pm 
NB values in preview image are 2x the description due to copper having a 2x material value.
