Default Unequipable Armor?

I'm curious if there's a reason why mounted units can't equip items of armor? I can kind of understand them not getting the Stymphalian Wings - don't want that size 5 beast the Freaklord is setting on flying that easily. But not letting them equip Monolith / Aseftik's armor either?

I agree with Caine ... especially because the heavies armours were forged for knights ... not footmen.

They can equip armour, so I'm not sure what you are talking about?

As stated in my original post - unable to equip the Stymphalian Wings, also Monolith / Aseftik's. To give a little more information - this is on the Allfather, and Vanheim's other Van leaders. I can, as stated, sort of understand the Wings - better if it was equipable but didn't give flight, but understandable.

But being unable to equip the heavy artifact armors. As I stated in the original post - non-mounted commanders can equip them. But not the mounted leaders.

that's strange, and I've never noticed not being able to equip something I have the slot for. However, I can help you out by providing a nice purchase price for the monolith...



(if this is for Crowded_Lands)

Perhaps because the encumbrance would be ignored by mounted commanders.
