Asbestos Shields

Asbestos Shields is a technology in Age of Mythology that is exclusive to a Dwarven Forge, which in turn is featured in The Dwarven Forge, a mission in Fall of the Trident. Once it is researched, it adds a considerable defensive bonus against Fire Giants.

Effects

 * Infantry and Cavalry: reduces damage done by Fire Giants (including their special attack) by 20%
 * All Heroes: reduces damage done by Fire Giants (including their special attack) by 20%

History
By mining the strongest ore and using special forging techniques that only the Dwarven forge offers, the Dwarves have perfected custom shields to protect them during their constant struggle against giants in the Norselands.
