[.302 Bug] Item unequipable when moved between characters

from Elemental Forums

In Beta 1z3, I received a spear from a goodie hut with my sovereign, but decided I wanted to give it to my courier (peasant equiped with a club and messenger kit).   I opened up the equipment tab with my sovereign and dragged the spear to my other unit on the cloth map.    The spear showed up on the other unit, but also stayed with the sovereign, but I couldn't equip it with either of them.   After hitting the turn button, it disapeared off my sovereign, but still could not be equipped by the courier.  

 

Now that I think of it, do I have to research up the warfare tree before my people can use spears?   It was pretty earlier, so that may have been part of the problem if that is true.

 

edit:   the characters were not next to each other, they were across the map (which is probably not the intended use also).

Hmmm...this is actually by design, but I wonder what the best in-game way to explain it is. Basically, trained units cannot be equiped like Champions (if you have a legion of footsoldiers, who actually gets the spear?). They have that they've been trained with, and that's it.

I guess just a popup would do for now, but yeah, this as designed.

Thanks BoogieBac for the explanation.   That makes sense.  It is a Champion Item.    So is it a bug that I could transfer it to the soldiers at all?  Or are you going to allow trained units to carry Champion items, but not use them?
