Devlog #3 - Equipment of Gauls and Romans

[h3]Ave Legionaries![/h3] Let's start with the armours concept arts. We plan on making several types of armour including Lorica Hamata and Lorica Squamata that will be used in the early-to-mid phase of the game. [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1120790/view/3055101388621481574]In the last Devlog[/url], we have started a discussion about equipment and shared Lorica Segmentata (or Lorica Laminata) concept arts with You. [img]https://i.imgur.com/MKiTWCZ.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/jzTAWEz.jpg[/img] They are our [u][b]late-game[/b][/u] heavy armours that will allow You to challenge Gauls with style and maxed skill tree in a high-prestige cohort. Meanwhile...[1] [img]https://i.imgur.com/UmELDt2.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/CDwkk6T.png[/img] Join Roman Army they said... You will meet young ambitious people like You. They said...

You can check it out [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu7M8hAkFIw]HERE[/url] or on the video further below[/i] [h1]Equipment[/h1] The EQ consists of [list] [*]various different weapons like a short sword, long sword, axe, one-handed spear. Each with a distinct fighting style. [*]different size shields, [*]various body parts protection items [*] a few layers of body protection: tunics, soffits, armours. [/list] [u][b]We treat buying a weapon as unlocking a combat tool[/b][/u] In the game, we want to avoid the theme of buying a 'better shortsword', shifting the burden of the game to learning how to wield them. Armours will be hard to obtain and provide a simple, but meaningful buff to our legionary combat abilities. We are going to implement a system for changing / destroying / improving equipment To reflect an ancient soldier's life, we introduced the EQ destruction system (and the health loss and regeneration system to be discussed in future Devlogs). [u][b]During the fight, the EQ of the main character will be diminished. [/b][/u] The maximum level of destruction of the weapon will reduce its damage by 50% (value might change) and will allow us to complete the battle scenario every time. Later we have to fix it in the camp phase. We assume the possibility of making upgrades to each of the weapons. Here is our idea for the equipment tab: [img]https://i.imgur.com/ANP5agh.png[/img] [i]work in progress, might change in the final release. What do You think about it?[/i] The equipment menu holds a little tip about our next Devlog. New models, work in progress in the next Devlog 15.04.2021!
