Taifa of Toledo (Age of Charlemagne) Military Upgrades Level 2
Armourer
A leather breastplate will stop a spear, if only for a moment.The Persians were famed throughout the ancient world as master armourers. Cataphract armour, although hugely uncomfortable for the wearer, was an unrivalled defensive achievement and the precursor to the full armour of the medieval knight. Covering both rider and horse, it created an almost impenetrable shield of mail against arrows and gave cavalry additional weight with which to smash through enemy lines. There is also some evidence of early cuisse, or thigh armour, being pioneered by the Sassanids, as well as leather-covered wooden shields in the Temple of Mug, near Samarkand.
