Bronze Armor
Bronze Armor takes 1 off every hit you take in battle. You forge it at any anvil from 2 Bronze Details, 4 Bronze Ingots and a Fabric, with Smithing mastery 3, after Bronze Equipment (30 red), which also gives the Bronze Sword. The town Smithy sells one a week from its first tier, for 1 silver 50 copper.
Damage in battle is the attacker’s damage minus your armor, so against the commonest zombies, which hit for 4, it saves a quarter of every blow (see Combat).

Notes
- It also dresses a zombie for your squads. A zombie fights only with armor and a pike or bow, and its armor’s quality adds to the squad’s power.
- Studying it costs 3 Science and gives 30 red and 5 blue.
