Purpose

Armor protects the user from certain types of damage. Lots of units come with two types of armor, such as a Longsword using Shock and Arrow Armor, as they are meant to kill Archers, equal in fighting other Shock damage units (such as an enemy Swordsmen), and weak vs Piercing Damage, such as Pikeman. This creates the combat triangle, which gets more complex with each passing Epoch. If an enemy gets to a higher Epoch faster then you, it could mean dire consequences, such as if an enemy advances to Digial Age and your still in Modern, as no unit you own has Laser Armor, and will easly be overrun by laser-wielding troops as you fight them with outdated guns which are less effective.
