I have a good idea (in my opinion) for a way to change up the smithing/forging system with weapons and armor. To make a tool with an anvil, you will still need one made from an equal orgreaterthan tier of metal. But now, you will also need a hammer of equal or greater tier to get full durability and efficiency. Also the type of hammer will contribute to this too for what is being forged. Types of hammers may be ball peen, doming, chaser, ect. And there should also be three types of armor: Chain Mail, Lamallar, and plate. Chain mail would have really high slashing resistance, but little crushing with almost none topiercing. Lamellar would require sinew, jute fiber, or leather in addition to metal. Lamellar would have higherpiercingresistance, but less crushing and a little slashing. Lamellar would balance things out more, though. And plate would have everything pretty balanced out, but would overall be better. The biggest disadvantage to plate would be resources and weight. That brings me to armor layering and weight. You can always layer armor (as in put chain mail under lamellar or plate) to get higherprotection. But wearing to much armor will slow you down. wearing full steal chain mail and plate would protect you a whole lot, but you will move 15% slower and take up more thirst when sprinting and jumping. I also think that wearing very heavy armor will not protect a whole lot against fall damage. And now, weapons. The weapons in the game already have good variation, but maybe there should be some that do less overall damage, but domultipletypes of damage. I'm talking about war hammers (piercingand crushing), Spears (piercing and slashing), and battle axes (slashing and crushing). And when forging blades, Ibelievethat sword forging should beelaboratedtomake better swords, knifes, spears, and axes. This would involvefullers, bevels, grinding, cross guard making, pommel making (because weight should effect sword attack rate), heat treating, and oil quenching. Maybe even add tang forging todetermineweight and grip. Also different handles would be cool to add more to grip. I think grip should be related to strike force anddefense. That is my idea for TFC2. Please let me know what you think, as adding a complex combat system integrated into the forging system. I think adding so many different types of armor and weapons will let players develop their own play style and preference. I hope everyone likes this. I would really like to see this in game.
