Let's rework the bear armor into

Iron Bear Armor

With the addition of a second layer of cloth, along with iron or even steel studding to reinforce the chest piece, along with a simple helmet and a gorget, the entire goal is to protect from flying shrapnel as well as enemy fire.

Tom-Shonkhor: (5) NUKE9.13, Jilladilla, Madman, khang, Seeker
Iron Bear Armor: (1) Blood_Librarian

[NUKE9.13]

Better armour, and especially a helmet, would be a good idea.

However, we need better cannons. This revision will not only grant us a stopgap- making the Yalag substantially more deadly, and making us slightly less likely to get smashed on land*, but it will also provide us with precious experience for when we make a good cannon next year.


*We're still gonna get smashed on land, unless they roll very poorly.

[Madman198237]

No, we're not doing studded armor. Studded armor was not used in combat because it's useless. You either have some sort of plate or chainmail. Otherwise whatever you're getting attacked with is going to slide right past the studs and kill you horribly.

[Blood_Librarian]

Hmm, my thought process was that it kept the layers tightly held together so that it would be better able to handle ranged weapons, but if thats a case, could we do a chianmail shirt underneath without being too expensive?

[Madman198237]

Since we can cast iron, no.

It will be much less expensive to just cast breastplates, but those won't stop bullets. Chainmail won't either. Our best bet is high-quality steel helmets (Whenever we can do that...) for fragmentation protection, and maybe something like a flak jacket.

[Blood_Librarian]

Perhaps we can steal the chinese secrets of Silk.

[Madman198237]

Silk works against arrows, just like the layered cloth we deployed in the first turn.

It won't stop bullets.

[Blood_Librarian]

It would still be marginally better then nothing at all.

Silk works against arrows, just like the layered cloth we deployed in the first turn.

It won't stop bullets.

It does stop bullets. Read near the bottom of this section. It perhaps isin't kevlar vest, but it would stop weaker bullets.

[Thanatos Russ]

We are only going for armour that will actually help lol. Medieval shit is stupid.

Hard:5
Tom-Shonkhor: The Tom-Shonkhor is a large and heavy cannon compared to our old Shonkhor light cannon, and honestly, quite a bit more effective then its much much smaller cousin, and solves the old cannons biggest issue, how ineffective it was. This new cannon, being able to fire 10kg (or 22lb, if you are a Nafunan, or someone from outside our wonderful lands) shots at a distance much much farther away then we ever could fire before. And although its not very accurate, it doesn't need to be due to its power and range. It costs 2 ore, 1 wood -Complex, expensive.

It is now the Battle Phase, the Khan is happy with your work.

[Blood_Librarian]

the kahns always happy, the little squid face.

[NUKE9.13]

Alright. So. I think we need to gun for getting the Ruins back under our control, cos we'd really rather not lose the resources there.
In a similar vein, I think we should attack the Savannah, to threaten their resources and secure our control of the swamp.

Ruins: (1) NUKE9.13
Village:
Savannah: (1) NUKE9.13

[Thanatos Russ]

I agree with Nuke
