Native armour upgrades in Americas

[Gaius Terentius Varro]

Ok i searched the forums and got zip so: anyone got any use out of the buildings providing the native american armour upgrades, I built the teh Armour Maker's Tipi and i am sure i heard the natives laughing at me behind my back.

[icek]

good question, apachean starts with every melee unit they can get and any of those units needs armor upgrading. Is armor upgrader required for longhouses to be build?

[joe4iz]

I did not get any use of them either but the Apache buildings are so cheap, I built them all.

I have no idea. Maybe the natives do not want to feel underdeveloped. They want an armourer even though it doesn't not seem to be able to upgrade any armour. At least I haven't noticed. When you are stinking rich 400 bucks is not a big investment if it helps to improve the natives' self-respect.

I think they get armor upgrades at possible level 2 armour maker (if it even exists) which no one knows how to get.

they get an armor upgrade (says padded, but it's really "wooden") that gives 2 points of armor. Not really sure which hut gives this, but I know one is

That's not the question. It's the armour maker's tipi or something like that. The question is what units benefit from building this hut. Some units cannot be upgraded, (rabbit boys, for example) and others already seem to have wooden armour and thus cannot be upgraded. So, the case is pretty much like armour factory in Europe: What's the point?

Armour factory in Europe rocked if you played the Italian factions but I get your drift. Now I know why the natives are laughing at me.

Because of your haircut and name? :jester:


(No, this is not an offensive post. If I was Sitting Bull, The great chief, I'd find your name funny.)

Edit: took off the second letter of the chief's name.

I like my pretentious name

It's a nice name , but the Indians would give you their own.... Probably something about mounting buffaloes or whatever.:beam:

I often thought that the name "Dances with Wolves" may have been an inside joke by the Souix Indians . They probably always had a tough time keeping a straight face around the Kevin Costner character in the movie.

As long as i am doing the mounting
