5:25:50the sword symbol is actually armor which is kinda weird huh
5:25:58That thingy is Infantry armor.
5:25:58melee units want armor, ranged want damage
5:26:18Yeah, because each armour point makes your scouts take way less damage from TCs etc.
5:26:38you can click on your civ symbol top right
5:26:42If you're doing a lot of scout harassment, you'll want both tho
5:26:47no it won't, you can access the tree on the top right
5:27:13@izdiaja is confusing because attack techs are "weapon image" and armor are "weapon image on top of kind of like an armor image"
5:27:17you can skip on the damage upgrade until castle age when you got more eco
5:27:27Yeah, the best time for wheelbarrow is usually at around 26 villagers, in between feudal and castle age.
5:27:27as food and gold is needed to advance
5:27:57i know the icons, but look at the names
5:28:14villagers do 3 dammage. If you have armour, they would deal 2 dammage instead
5:28:16getting both delays castle age
5:28:38:grinning_squinting_face: Just do what you need to do to make it stick. If it helps YOU to draw it out, then go ahead.
5:28:51in early harassment you dont need that much damage, but for late game as franks you NEED that cav damage and armor
5:28:54Yes but villagers do much less damage back with the armour upgrade
5:28:55Quite honestly, don't worry about us. Ha ha ha!
5:28:56If you kill like, a ton of vills, its worth the delay.
5:29:17fletching is usually worth getting if you have archers or towers
5:29:48as franks tho?, fletching is good for towers, you dont have good archers in general
5:29:52Nope, axemen use the mele upgrade for attack
5:30:01forging and scale barding armor is the way to go. if you are not doing archers you can delay fletching untill attacked
5:30:19You've gotta decide if needing 1 less attack to kill a villager is worth more or less than taking 33% less damage from them.
5:30:40they do lots of damage to buildings because melee attack
5:30:52Yes, axemen is one of the "rulebreakers" i like to call them
5:30:58when hitting Imperial, Conscription is a must
