History[]
“ | Copper was made into armor as well as weapons, because even this relatively soft metal provided a better body defense than leather or cloth. We don't know how common copper armor was, however. Copper was valuable, so only the elite of a warrior society might wear it. When bronze was discovered, many of the existing copper objects were probably destroyed to make the new alloy. | ” |

Trivia[]
- Originally, armor-line upgrades would change the appearance of a unit's body, whilst unit upgrade lines would only change the appearance of the unit's head.
