Artifacts Variations II
This mod does not add new artefacts. However it adds about 4000 new icons for artefacts so that :
All weapons have, on average, 12 variations.
There is now over 400 armour icons in the game, split like so :
– Western
– Mail
– Scale
– Lamellar
– Laminar
– Plate (very rare)
– Eastern
– Mail
– Scale
– Lamellar
– Laminar
– Plate (very rare)
– Steppe
– Mail
– Scale
– Lamellar
– Laminar
– Plate (very rare)
– Byzantine
– Mail
– Scale
– Lamellar
– Laminar
– Plate (very rare)
With each Culture/Armor type combination having around 8 variations for each tier (32 in total).
Thus, the icon for a western scale armour will depict, well, a western scale armour!
All base game items have been given variations that the game will pick at random.
All unique items have a custom icon.
Almost every trinket item has a custom icon, tiered, and up to 25 variations. (for instance, scrolls). Crowns also have 25 variations.
All variations are nuances that respect the base game art style and share the same disposition and angling as to make it coherent and follow a pattern for you to recognise.
For instance, armours of tier 3 and 4 have a discreet pattern :
Western : Black / Regal Blue gambesons
Eastern : Shades of Dark Green gambesons
Byzantine : Red / Purple gambesons
Steppe : Brown / Dark Orange gambesons
This is quite a huge leap forward from the older version, both in output quality and sheer scope.

See this preview pic ? Multiply it by 100, and you have roughly the total quantity of item icons.
