The latest monthly update for The Age of Decadence offers a succinct summary of the most recent changes implemented in the Ganezzar beta, which are apparently going to be rolled out to the Early Access build soon. It sounds like a few changes made to the armor system might potentially alter some of the current combat dynamics:
3. SYSTEM CHANGES
- Armor can be damaged in combat and repaired. Damaged armor has lower Damage Resistance. Take it to your local blacksmith for repair or repair it yourself with the magic of Crafting!
- Hardened and Hardened Edge techniques no longer increase damage or DR. Never liked it, didn't have anything to replace them with. Until now! Now they increase armor's hardness (defense against damage to DR not your health) and weapon's hardness (chance to damage armor's DR)
- But what about my damage? Not to worry, my good man, buy yourself a sharpening stone and go nuts. Keep in mind, the stones come from a mine up north and are somewhat of a rarity, so use them wisely.
- Now you can craft helmets and shields! Aint that something?
- Now you get up to 4 techniques (that's like twice as many!)
- Changes to armor stats and block (lower penalties, higher DR to compensate for damage and removed Hardened technique); the Imperial Armor will turn you into a juggernaut.
