Armor Expansion Add-On - 3.0 Update

Adds 25+ armors into the game for the player to obtain. No original armors are replaced, all armors added by the mod are added alongside original armors. NPCs also wear new armor based on their rank and position. Can be used with almost all other big Gothic 2 mods and can be safely installed and uninstalled at any point without breaking the players save file.

Available in Czech, English, Polish and German, the mod automatically detects the language of your game.
Requires Ninja.

NEW FEATURES IN UPDATE 3.0
- New balance detection system
What this means is that thanks to some brilliant code by Mud-freak, i was able to implement balancing for some of the most popular mods to ensure your experience with ArmorExpansion remains balanced. The game checks if you have a certain mod installed, and if yes different protection values will be used for armors that are compatible with the values present in the mod (making sure no armor added by armor expansion is too weak or too powerful, and also making sure no bugs occur when crafting materials are replaced by Lhiver).
So far the game checks for the followin mods: Lhiver 1.3, Lhiver 2.0 DE, Lhiver by BuddyGoth, Atariar Edition, Minimod Balance, Gothic 2 Alternative. If these mods are not detected the game will use values for original Gothic 2 instead. If you are playing a version of these mods that is not detected or a different mod you would like to have balanced you can let me know and i can have a look at it.
-New visuals for fixed and enryched paladin armors, making them more distinct to eachother
-Crawler plate hunting armor now also benefits from wearing the minecrawler belt just like its counterpart from original Gothic 2

Some of these armors are given to the player for completing a certain quest or progressing through the story, some can be bought or requested to be forged and one can be forged by the hero himself. Helmets can be modified or taken off at the anvil for armors that have them. If your game is in a language that is not automatically detected it will default to english. I tried to make everything understandable to the player, but if you have any problems with getting a certain armor feel free to ask. If you are playing with a mod that rebalances armor values the mod automatically detects it and adjusts the values to fit the balance of the preferred mod. If a mod is not detected values for original Gothic 2 are used instead. Requests for adding balance to a different mod are welcome. If you come across any bug or issue dont hesitate to report it!.
If you like this mod let me know! I have more mods like this planned that add other armors and also some weapons :).
