Equipment (gear)

Equipment is the hardest part of the game. There will always be too little of it.

BigBoB / KitKiller rule

Forge ammunition and equipment only for your troop type.

Troop type	Material
Archers	Wood
Infantry	Stone
Cavalry	Leather

Do not forge for other troop types — materials are too scarce.

One combat pair

You must build one pair with the best equipment you can.

That pair is your combat pair — the march you fight with.

Why

• Materials are never enough for every commander.
• Spreading gear across many marches makes all of them weak.
• One fully geared combat pair beats three half-dressed marches.

Do not

• Do not forge gear for a troop type you do not play.
• Do not “share” top pieces equally across all commanders.
• Do not craft random gear before the combat pair is ready.

Ask R4 which set fits your troop type (infantry / cavalry / archers) for that one pair.
