Equipment
Equipment comes in five categories: Poor, Basic, Good, Fine, Very Fine. Better equipment costs more money to purchase as well as maintain. All troops may don equipment of another training, but fight as one lower training level (militia fight at two levels lower). A mercenary must pay the full price to upgrade from one level to another as the mercenary isn't upgrading current equipment, but instead purchasing better equipment. Mercenaries may sell sets for half-price.
Equipment costs are modified by quality: Poor (x0.75), Basic (x1), Good (x1.5), Fine (x2), Very Fine (x3).
- Damaged equipment can be repaired by paying the Maintenance Cost up front. This is in addition to monthly maintenance.
- Existing equipment may be tailored for a new owner by paying the monthly maintenance cost. This is in addition to the monthly maintenance.
