[0.87]Heavy armor -> Plate Mail Armor missing

from Elemental Forums

I have researched Heavy Armor as Pariden, which shows to give me access to "Plate Mail Armor" (32 Defense, -6 Initiative). Instead only "Plate Cuirass" (10 Defense, -2 Initiative) is availiable in shops as well as within the unit designer.

 Researching Armor earlier in that game suggested to give me "Chain Mail Armor" (16 Defense, -3 Initiative), but all I got is "Chain Shirt" (6 Defense, -1 Initiative).

from what I've seen, the way they do it is the overall combination of armour gives that value.

 

That is, if you equip the chain shirt, gloves, greaves, etc, it adds up to a total of 16 defense and -3 initiative.  Same for plate armor.

Thanks!

Maybe Stardock then should change the Tooltip to refer to "Set of Chain|Plate Mail Armor".

i think they changed that specifically to not clutter the tech tree with useless information. up until the change (i think that was in patch .75 or .80) the individual pieces were displayed separately at the appropriate tech
