Made an addon for your mod that utilizes the unused mesh you have, along with adding rusted versions. Uses your mod as a dependancy.

Easily one of my favorit armor mods.
This with that other that adds more samurai armor mixes perfectly.

Rusty swordsman gear would be tight

Honestly this should be apart of the base game it is that immersive.

Hi! I am the developer of the Second Life of Kenshi mod, can I include your mods in my modpack?

can we have a variant of the ancient samurai armor of this?

aight, they def looted it bc I recognize one of the mercs from another mod wearing the same clothing, my bad. I have no idea where they found it at

somehow the armor appeared on my mod and I don't know why. this is a new armor not a replacement, right? Maybe they looted it off a dead guy

Awesome work on this! I think it is going to be the only armour mod that I am going to use in my game, due to how seamlessly it fits in the game.

@Dawud Sandstorm In Kenshi material is not what determines an armour type in the game (see Heart Protector) and seeing as it has positive multipliers (which most light armour types tend to have) I think it fits that it is light armour. If anything, I would alternatively consider it being medium, due to how hybrid it feels.

@Jeriko06 It is only right that it hinders stealth, imo. The Assassin's Rags are more sleek and suited for assassins/thieves, etc. while this armour seems more for Berserker types, and with clunkier metal plates on the arm that make a lot of noise.

It would be awesome if you could add an ancient variant to the swordsman's rags. I think those rusty plates on those rags would look really good.

@spong Great armor concept!

Where masterwork version can be found? Specialist?

I believe upping chest from 40% to 70% would be great. This way chest protection from this armor will be the same as stomach protection from samurai leg plates. Fighting dressed like this still will be pretty dangerous but at least not every fight will end with broken rib cage.

@spong done, here's the link:

@SalmonPunk go for it, dependency preferred.

hello spong im making NCE for your mod, do you mind if i upload in on workshop? thank you kindly

One of my top favorite armor mods, though I have one issue with it which most likely is a vanilla issue, is that the cloth neck wrap gets wildly large with certain frame sizes of characters.

Why does this attire hinder stealth so much as a light armor piece? Armored Rags don't even hinder stealth from what I remember. Would you please consider a rebalance?

Hi spong, I'm working on a large overhaul (Kenshi Odyssey) and I'd like your permission to include Swordsman's Rags in it. Credit and linkbacks are always given. Chat me on Discord AmokHarvest#4416 if you have any questions.

Hello.
I'm a fan of your mods, and I'd like to give my own translation mod to steam.
If you have any problems, please contact me.

should probably be classified as heavy considering it utilizes armor plates. Besides that, nice mod.

I really appreciate it. As you said yourself, the mod I'm working on merges other assets altogether to ensure compatibility, which enhance vanilla gameplay in itself. This is why I prefer merging over dependencies... Still, credits will be given to everyone who made the expansion possible. I promise you that.

Thank you for your love and support. It means a lot to me :)

@Captain Rockhopper,

Dependency would be preferred, but if it's a compilation of multiple workshop assets then just go ahead and use the assets directly. Feel free to make edits or change who spawns with it if you're making a more sizable overhaul. But yeah, go for it.

Also, I love your work.

Hello @stiinx, I am the author of Kenshi's Architecture Mod and upcoming mod Dawn of Kenshi. I would really like to use your assets in a mod I am currently working on. I believe they would be a wonderful addition. This goes without saying that your mod would be credited with a direct link to this mod's page.

Best regards,
-Captain Rockhopper

This mod is a reference to Yasuo from league of legends?

Cool idea. Great work !

This looks great, excellent work. Love it.

A rusted stat inferior version for the poor bandit classes like the Berserkers or Outlaw Farmers would look great as well.

good.

Small mod, but great description !

Super cool, it's great seeing stuff like this that don't look out of place in the game and fit in so seamlessly. Great job, and thanks!

Good points, Also I like the new balance changes in the update.

Alright, addressing all of your recommendations top to bottom:

Both armor sets don't have enough coverage to offer meaningful protection to begin with, and aren't meant to. Chest coverage is arguably more valuable because it offsets the hitrates for non-human races like hivers and standard skeletons who have lower stomach hit chances. If I did give the swordsman's rags more defense they still wouldn't be as good in general as more rounded body armor like the WPJ or Conscript's Leathers, and if I gave the swordsman's rags more coverage it would make no sense and defeat the purpose somewhat.

Martial arts will already deal more damage than most meitou-grade weapons at around 60-70 skill, and are already absurd.

2/2

The only things that really matter on the assassin's rags are the combat speed and the dexterity bonus, maybe the dodge bonus too but block is far more reliable. Dexterity is generally overrated because the vast majority of swing speed comes from meeting the strength requirements of your weapon, and block speed isn't that important without multiple attack slots.

However, I acknowledge that it's a fairly under-powered armor. I envisioned it as being crappy and scrappy and used by outlaws but I'll likely buff it to make it more useful for the fellas who want to go lone warrior against the UC since that seems more popular. Stay tuned.

Hey minor suggestion for balance, I know you said you compared this mod to as sasin rags when balancing it, but honestly in my opinion as sasin rags are honestly still a bit better. They give overall better combat stats and have more coverage. While the swordsman armor does have more protection for the parts it does protect, the difference in combat bonuses makes the Assassin's rags better.

I would recommend, buffing the combat stats to Martial Attack being 8 and combat speed being 1.10, and fist protection to 20%. Been testing out myself and I feel like they really make the armor a lot more viable. Also highlights the niche for both respective armor pieces (Swordsman armor being for more berserker type fighters and swordsman rogues being for more stealthy type fighters).

@MagicLlama,

I'd prefer you made my armor a required mod if possible. But otherwise it's fine.

@SPONG
Really like the idea of the model. Can I use it in the overhaul I'm doing? You will be credited as the models creator :)

Really love the 'scrappy/raggidy as fuck' look of this armor, and I feel like Kenshi needs more of this type of armor. Even if it only covers like my left index finger, I can still look cool dying. Thanks buster brown skin

Looks nice

@Willdoesparkour

It impacts the "looks like a slave" parameter, so don't wear them on the run as an escapee. Otherwise it might just impact dialogue and have nobles call you a loser but that's not confirmed. It shouldn't matter in most cases.

nice

what do you mean by slave stigma?

cool ty!

hell yeah
