Iron reinforced shield

Postby Scorup » Tue Apr 11, 2006 2:44 pm

On the Polish forums there has been a lot of talking about KilDar's suggestion - a new type of shield. It would be better, than the wooden one, would be made out of wood, have nailed iron strips, which would strengthen the shield. I know, there is already the targe, but steel is more difficult to get.

Code: Select all

Project: Manufacture an iron reinforced shield
Object: Reinforced shield (24 def)
Days needed: 2
Raw materials needed:   100 grams of iron
Objects needed: wooden shield
Tools needed: hammer

I like this.

Although, to be honest, I've always wondered why the iron shield is actually made of solid iron. Mot shields would have been wood, clad with a metal, solid iron shields would have been far too heavy, expensive, and without very good refining processes, the quality of the iron probably wouldn't have been all that great...

'Merging' just involves manually copyng and pasting the posts from here and 'quoting' them in another thread. Anyone can do it.
I vowed not to do it again, it gives me a headache after doing it the umpteenth time...

I suppose we could do this. But it seems like this, if implemented, should be far harder to make than either an iron shield or a wooden shield, due to the fact that it requires the joining of two different substances.
