Hide shields

Recommended Posts

Small hide shield:

  • 1 hide
  • 1 rivets
  • 1 leather strip
  • 1 metal ribbon

Medium hide shield:

  • 2 hide
  • 1 rivets
  • 1 leather strip
  • 1 metal ribbon

Large hide shield:

  • 3 hide
  • 1 rivets
  • 1 leather strip
  • 1 metal ribbon

 

These are the sort of shields that mounted barbarians or nomad warriors would use - lighter than wooden shields, and maintained using leatherworking skills and tools.

I think it'd be great for the game to have some more barbaric shield designs, especially if you could paint the surface and the rim differently.

It would be nice if they could have a "material type" so that you could have a bison hide shield, a bull hide shield, and so on. These could be implemented as different RGB values on the surface of the shield.

Love it. I would add more rivets though and maybe double the number of them as shield size increased.  E.g. sm-5, med-10, lg-20. Might add a second ribbon to the large shield too.

Imho we dont need individual skills for material types anyways. Small, medium, and large size skills is just fine.
