Atarashī Hajimari - Welcome Vintarian!

Originally created by the amazing tonzag, this mod adds a large number of different samples of ancient weapons and armour to the game. You can feel like a Viking, Samurai, landsknecht and even a Roman legionnaire.The original mod page and details of all the awesome-tacular items it adds to the game can be accessed from here. 

N.B: THIS MOD WILL NOT BE UPDATED TO 1.20 UNTIL IT IS OFFICIALLY RELEASED.

game:leather-normal-<colour/plain>

NEW: Scutum shields are now part of the mod and available to craft and use in game.

1. Since the 1.19.x game update, the animation overhauls in-game messed up the weapon hitbox and player animations. Those have all been updated and fixed to be super responsive and accurate. No more swing-and-pray-and-miss!
   
2. Player feedback on deliberately slowed swing speeds for many weapons like mace and axe was unfavourable. That debuff has been removed in this release. So, you can make a steel pernach and bash that tier 4 drifter now!
3. Some of the weapons such as Sabre, Katana, Mace, etc. have been rebalanced (based on historical battle recreation video feedback)
4. Many steel and steel tier armours in game were incorrectly tiered but now fixed.
   

Thanks to great help of active and helpful modder DanaCraluminum for extensive help during first port of this amazing mod for 1.19.x and beyond.

Honourable mentions: SpearAndFang and pizza2004 for helpful suggestions that kept things moving. 

Wield your Katana with Do-Maru and Kabuto, make light Nomad armour for your archer builds, smith yourself a Flamberge and a Kriegsmesser for Landsknecht euro cool, relive the Roman empire with Lorica Segmentata, Scutum, Gladius and Pilums. And the crowd favourites such as Sabres, Battle Axes, Spears and Maces for maximum damage and long reach...

The possibilities are endless! 

PS: Tonzag hasn't been active on here or forums so I'll continue maintaining this mod until tonzag returns to take back his baby. This is a great mod and deserves to be enjoyed by players well into the future. 

The github page will eventually contain the final release of the mod shared here. Done. Source now points to this mod release.

The scutum roman shield that tonzag had planned to add, will also be implemented as well. DONE! Iconic, durable Roman shield. Provides near complete protection against aimed and stray enemy blows, through sheer size overlap. Called Scutum and paired with gladius. Enjoy!

Thanks to xXx_Ape_xXx for all the help in polishing the textures, recipes, etc. Very special thanks are due to ChronoLegionaire for the shield code!  

Localisations:

The mod is localised for English (tonzag), Russian (tonzag), Japanese (macito hino), Ukranian (Deanbro), Spanish (tRead) and Portuguese (Zaldaryon on discord).

Feel free to submit translations in your favourite language to be added in future releases. Thanks in advance.

Compatibility issues (so far):

Mod is incompatible with Attributer - Reborn and by extension RPG Item rarity. It will continue to be so until I re-implement every single vanilla shield attribute. I am not willing to take it upon myself at this point. (Thanks to X_Reactiionzz for debugging and reporting this on discord)
