| Combat - Armour:
Armour is a personal preference for their users, and really depend on the user's wealth. Generally plate-armour is superior, but is very costly and takes a long time to make and repair. It also requires extensive training and years of acclimatization to the armour's weight, or else the user would be no more than a towering hulk of metal. If properly trained and acclimatized, however, the user can literally wrestle his opponents with ease, using their weight to imbalance the enemy.
- Stamina:
Stamina is possibly one of the most limiting factors in battle. In battle two lines would often fight, and then after ten minutes either break and rout, or fall-back and rest. Battles were often very quick and decisive early into them, even more so for individual combat. Individual fighting can result in fatigue in less than five-minutes of the duel starting, sometimes ending in less than a minute.
