Artifacts Variation II 1.19
Artifacts Variations II 1.19 is an unofficial update of the original Artifacts Variations II mod for Crusader Kings III 1.19.*.
The original mod greatly expands artifact visual variety by adding thousands of new item icons while preserving the general style of the base game.
This version keeps the original visual concept and updates it for the current CK3 setup.
Artifacts Variations II does not add new artifacts.
Instead, it adds a large number of new icons and visual variations for existing artifact types, making weapons, armour, crowns, trinkets and other items feel much less repetitive.
• about 4000 new artifact icons;
• around 12 visual variations on average for each weapon type;
• more than 400 armour icons;
• different armour groups for Western, Eastern, Steppe and Byzantine styles;
• mail, scale, lamellar, laminar and rare plate armour variations;
• custom icons for unique items;
• many variations for trinkets, scrolls, crowns and other item types;
• visual changes that preserve the base game art direction.
This is not a simple reupload of the old mod.
This version updates Artifacts Variations II for Crusader Kings III 1.19.* while preserving the original goal: more visual variety for artifacts without changing the artifact system itself.
Supported game version:
• Crusader Kings III 1.19.*
Localization is included for all official Crusader Kings III languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Polish and Japanese, with Italian included as a bonus language.
Russian localization was fully polished; Korean, Polish and Japanese were added in this version.
