Was the Jagged Crown already lost by this point?
It was buried in early first era with king Borgas more than 4000 years before the ES:TW starts.
wait, is he found within the Elder Scrolls Lore or Mod Devs original character?
He is original character, his design is based on TES Online nord from trailers. There is no information about Skyrim King in period of Oblivion crisis, so we decieded to create our own, but we wanted to make him remarkable.
Ohhhh... there once was a hero named Ragnar the Red....
Nice work. But please don't give the khajiit generals ESO style plate armor. Khajiit distain the use heavy armor as mentioned in the lorebook "Cherim's Heart of Anequina".
"Every minute part of the Khajiti traditional armor can be seen in the soldiers in the foreground. The embroidered edging and striped patterns on the tunics. Each lacquered plate on loose-fitting leather in the Elsweyr style. The helmets of cloth and fluted silver.
“Cherim does not understand the point of plate mail,” said Cherim. “It is hot, for one, like being both burned and buried alive. Cherim wore it at the insistence of our Nord advisors during the Battle of Zelinin, and Cherim couldn't even turn to see what my fellow Khajiit were doing. Cherim did some sketches for a tapestry of the Battle of Zelinin, but Cherim finds that to make it realistic, the figures came out very mechanical, like iron golems or dwemer centurions. Knowing our Khajiti commanders, Cherim would not be surprised if giving up the heavy plate was more aesthetic than practical.”"
It would be better to give them lamellar armor, similar to the old Sandguard.
"We had to get rid of all the heavy armor they brought to us and find enough traditional armor our troops felt comfortable wearing. Obviously, the principle advantage of the traditional armor was that we could move easily in it, as you can see from the natural stances of the soldiers in the tapestry.
“Now if you look at this poor perforated Cathay-raht who just keeps battling on in the bottom background, you see the other advantage. It seems strange to say, but one of the best features of traditional armor is that an arrow will either deflect completely or pass all the way through. An arrow head is like a hook, made to stick where it strikes if it doesn't pass through. A soldier in traditional armor will find himself with a hole in his body and the bolt on the other side. Our healers can fix such a wound easily if it isn't fatal, but if the arrow still remains in the armor, as it does with heavier armor, the wound will be reopened every time the fellow moves. Unless the Khajiit strips off the armor and pulls out the arrow, which is what we had to do at the Battle of Zelinin. A difficult and time-consuming process in the heat of battle, to say the least.”"
damn stop complaining about eso
May the night mother wrap you in her cold embrace...
I don't think he's complaining about ESO, rather the fact that lorewise, Khajiit are not fond of plate and the mod uses a lot of ESO armors. I don't have a problem with that, but he is right.
Absolutely gorgueous, both the model and its axe. Can't wait to swing that baby at some dunmer scum!
I am not sure if spending so much time on heros is the right idea... after all they will only be in the game for a short time before they die.
I can't agree with you, because most of characters are at age 20-30 at the start of campaign and will surely not die peaceful way in next 200 turns
Time moves more slowly in this mod if you haven't actually played it yet then please don't try to critique it. I really like that the characters are very much alive for a long while. I lead House Dres and Master Ordon the Honorable has sadly became Master Ordon The Killer after I killed another Houses King at the request of his heir.
After which the drop in his honor made his city harder to govern and riots broke out resulting in six thousand deaths in a single turn and hundreds of dead troops. And plague has broken out, it appears the Gods are angry with us. By Vivic, have we done?
Im actually writing an Elder Scrolls book on the High King of Skyrim. Original story and thoughts but would love to bounce a few things to improve my book.
Perhaps Ragnar can have a special body guard unit, perhaps the model of the Steel-Plate Nord troops (with helmet), but his time onehand+ shield?
