Gemsbok Armor

The crafting recipe for Gemsbok Armor helmets should replace the two corner pieces of hide with a gemsbok horn (seeing as there are horns on the helmet).

Camel Armor

Essentially, it should be added. It would be made from camel hide, if added. See Pelts from the Animals doc.

More Chainmail

n real middle earth, chainmail was probably a pretty common form of armor for regular orcs (NOT Uruk Hai), and men, and possibly dwarves (NOT Elves)? I am aware that Mithril Mail is already planned, but I think there should be more availability of chain armors in Middle-Earth. My crafting solution is this. For iron, gold, dwarf steel, blue dwarf steel, orc steel, and maybe a few others, one could craft a chain tile. This would be crafted using four nuggets of that type of material in a square anywhere on the crafting grid. (iron nuggets would have to be added, as well as a nugget for all those metals involved) This would get you a chain tile. Each chain tile could be crafted into armor as a regular ingot, but make chain armor instead of plate. This would make chain armor less expensive, especially in mithril's case. The chain armors would be 1/4 worse than their plate variants. Also, Rohan and Dundlending armors would be crafted with chain iron tiles instead of ingots, however, their durability and protection would stay the same.

The crafting scheme could be changed to whatever you are planning for Mithril.

Clothes

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'Courier New';color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Right now I am admitting that my previous clothes suggestion was lacking. As I have now suggested weather, this would go with that. I openly do not agree that under and over armor is a good idea, however, I do believe that players need something more to wear than just armor. In lots of instances in the books and movies, characters wore armor beneath their clothes. So my suggestion lays itself out henceforth. Clothing would be items worn in 4 new armor slots. They would provide no armor points, but would count as protection from temperature. The four armor slots would include - <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'Courier New';color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"> <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'Courier New';color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Shirts - These would cover up chestplates, almost completely. <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'Courier New';color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"> <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'Courier New';color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Pants - Would cover up armor pants almost completely. <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'Courier New';color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"> <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'Courier New';color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Boots - Could wear boots over armor, look cool. <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'Courier New';color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"> <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'Courier New';color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Cloaks - A big thing. Many characters wore cloaks, including the famed Galadhrim grey cloaks. <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'Courier New';color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"> <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'Courier New';color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Notice I left out hats. One cannot wear a hat over a helmet, i would just look ridiculous. One couls wear a leather cap in the armor slot, to fit in, but armored helmets would be the main headgear. <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'Courier New';color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"> <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'Courier New';color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">There would be different clothes for different factions. Also, some cloaks include hoods, which may have some kind of option for them.

always freeze, though I do put on leather, i'd imagine that some armors would be more suited for this situation: <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'Courier

over heat in mordor and lebanin, and other near south areas, as well as only an additional half an armor point compared to regular armor, making it very expensive for it's advantage outside of forodwaith.
