CIA - Craftable Imperial Armory
by acdcdave1387

This mod makes all of the Imperial weapons and armor craftable after joining the Imperial Legion. The
recipes used to make all of the Imperial weapons and armor follow the same "realistic" approach found
in my other mod WARR - Weapon and Armor Recipes Rebalanced.

Thus the ingredients required are based on the visual representation of the items in game.
What do I mean? Well the Imperial Shields both have a wooden frame, thus they both require wood to craft.
All Imperial related armor pieces show up under the Imperial category at the forge.
The bow is under Imperial, whereas the Sword shows up under Steel.
The bow, sword and all heavy armor require the Steel Smithing perk to craft regardless of faction relation.

I also added craftable Stormcloak gear (Stormcloak armor and helmet plus Fur boots and gauntlets) if the
player joins the Stormcloaks instead.
All Stormcloak gear is under Leather category

~~Changelog~~
v1.0 Initial release (all Imperial or Stormcloak gear requires proper allegiance)
v1.1 Added allegiance requirement to Steel Shin Boots and Steel Imperial Gauntlets because they are both a
straight up copy of the Heavy Imperial Armor
v1.2 Moved the Imperial Sword to Imperial category at the forge

~~Compatibility~~
This mod is made entirely with the Creation Kit and shouldn't conflict with anything other than mods which
add these items to the game. So if you use a crafting overhaul you will end up with more than one recipe.
In other words, there will be two entries in the forge menu for all of the Light armor and both Imperial
weapons as well as the missing helmets.
As long as you don't mind double entries, go ahead and use my mod with any crafting overhaul you like.

I strongly recommend you check out WARR and see the optionals included with it.
If you decide to use WARR with this mod, LOAD ORDER MATTERS.
WARR.esp
CIA.esp
As you can see here, CIA must load AFTER WARR

~~Installing~~
This is a very simple plugin mod.
Only thing you need to do is drop the Data folder into your Skyrim folder.
Default location for Skyrim folder in a 64-bit installation is as follows.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim

~~Uninstalling~~
Since this mod is so simple, you merely need to delete CIA.esp or uncheck it from your load order.

~~Optional Version~~
The optional version removes the requirement of having to join the legion in order to craft the Imperial
weapons and armor. So with this version you should be able to craft all Imperial Light armor pieces as well
as the Studded armor at the start of the game. Once you gain the Steel Smithing perk, you can smith the
heavy armor variants as well as the bow and sword.
All Stormcloak gear will be available at the start of the game.

~~Final Note~~
I chose, for now, not to include the Penitus Oculatus armor set as the player doesn't actually join up with
that faction. They are a sort of "Secret Service" meaning that they provide bodyguard services for the
Imperial leader. However, if people demand I add it in, I will do so.
