Armor Expansion Add-On - 2.0 Update

Adds 25+ armors into the game to NPCs and for the player to obtain. No original armors are replaced, all armors added by the mod are there on top of already existing ones. Can be used with almost all other big Gothic 2 mods and can be safely installed and uninstalled at any point without breaking the players save file.

Available in Czech, English, Polish and German, the mod automatically detects the language of your game.
Requires Ninja.

NEW FEATURES IN UPDATE 2.0
- All armors have new or edited textures that are closer to their vanilla design. Screenshots updated accordingly.
- All reported issues were resolved.
- Incompatibility with Atariar edition mod was fixed.
- Several models were touched up.
- Several new armors were added.
- Some dialogues and ways to obtain armors were changed, namely the Paladin crossbowman armor and mercenary hunter armors.
- Added ability for the helmet on the original Paladin armor to be modified as well.
- 3 notable characters recieved distinct armor.
- Npcs now have gear according to their status. (Ex: All crossbowmen have better crossbows than regular units but only one handed weapons, NPCs with heavy paladin armor have ore swords)
- Original mercenary armors and the Raven guard armor recieved nicer looking inventory models.
- Added full German localization, unfortunately it was done with the help of a machine translator unlike the other languages. If anybody wishes to help with translating for any language, please reach out to me.
- Rebalanced all armor stats.

Some of these armors are given to the player for completing a certain quest or progressing through the story, some can be bought or requested to be forged and one can be forged by the hero himself. The player also can trade their normal faction armors for armors have weaker protection but give bonus to crossbow and bow skill, making a ranged playthrough more varied. Helmets can be modified or taken off at the anvil for armors that have them. If your game is in a language that isnt automatically detected it will default to english. I tried to make everything understandable to the player, but if you have any problems with getting a certain armor feel free to ask. If you like this mod let me know! I have more mods like this planned that add different armors and also some weapons :).

If you come across any bug or issue dont hesitate to report it!.

COMPATIBILITY:
Should be compatible with most mods that change the basic Gothic 2 (ex. Minimod, Atariar, Alternative, Atariar.), and is compatible with all retexture mods.
Theoretically compatible with Lhiver editions, but due to them replacing steel billets with ingots the crafting paths are inaccesible, i will resolve this issue shortly. An update to completely resolve balance and crafting issues should come out by the end of next week.
It is definitely not compatible with mods that completely change the story (Archolos, Legend of Ahssun, etc.), and definitely not compatible with Returning 2.0 or any of its versions. Also not compatible with Nostalgic edition or any of its versions.
