Default Re: A Question on Equipment

If a unit type is already good at something, dont try to make that better. Try to add to what isnt good. Ulm is built around heavy armor and weapons. It does that good. You also have no problem getting enough commanders for your troops. Morale is pretty good.

So you dont need to worry much about improving armor, or weapons, or giving them items that increase their leadership or morale much. But heavy armor means fatigue when charging an enemy so fatigue items might be good. A dragon helmet that can let a commander toss a few fireballs at his opponents as they charge him, that can help. Boots of Strength. Amulets of Luck or pretty much anything in the misc Category. As Ulm you might have a food problem but not as much as others so a wineskin of cauldron might not be bad to add to some commander moving toward the front.
