18 Black® Katanas HD 2.0 multilingual (G/E/S/F/I/R/PL/CZ)




Hello @ all,

18 Black® Katanas is an ESP-Mod based on Akaviri-Katana and Ebonyblade. It is not a simple replacer, but gives you 18 new Weapons in 9 categories that can be crafted, improved and enchanted. Normal Akaviri-Katana, and Ebonyblade, are not affected by this mod.

You have one 1H- & 2H-Katana in each weapon category (iron, steel, elven, dwarven, orc, glass, ebony, daedric) plus in the armor-only category dreagon. The abilities you must have and the smithing perks needed are showned by following two tables:

For 2.0 version all textures are remade from scratch using Bethesdas new highres texture DLC, now resolution of textures is 16x bigger - from 512x512 to 2048x2048. Textures are very detailed masked out, taking me more than 8h with Photoshop. Katanas and the the scabbard for 1H version have glow maps, so golden parts are glowing in dark areas. "18 Black Katanas" is now engraved on both katanas and scabbard in dragon alphabet.




All weapons and recipes already functioning well. This mod have stil alpha state because:
  • It is still work in progress,
  • I have only german version to test. I need people to report if this mod also functioning in other languages,
  • New crafting materilas will come up again with a future "Black® Crafting" mod.
