Here's some fixes this article still needs:
1. The article for Tsumium doesn't really explain what sort of metal it is, what makes it so strong yet light, or how it's produced/refined. I personally find it a little annoying when things such as what makes something strong or good or light or all around superior to something else aren't explained.
What makes it superior/stronger and lighter than steel? Why can't anyone else make it? Is it only found on the Tsumi's world, or is it made through manufacturing techniques which give it its strength, but no one else knows said manufacturing techniques? With many materials on SARP, exclusivity is because of the rarity of required elements used to produce a material, or because the design is secret. With Tsumium, I don't see any real explanation for this.
2. I'm not quite sure how to handle the variable armor level. From what I understand, generally that seems to indicate how protective a given amount of armor would be, but the impression I get is that when you say light-heavy, you guys mean adding more improves the armor strength. Correct me if I'm wrong though so that I can better figure out how to handle that.
When these fixes are made, please post a reply here so I can re-check the article. Thank you!
Note:
As for the issue of Tsumium's redundancy within the setting; I can understand wanting something unique to your faction, however, I think that it is not improbable that the Tsumi might have come across Durandium and reverse engineered it. Additionally, there's nothing wrong with using normal materials from the real world too.
Anyhow, that's just my two cents on the matter.
