Upgrading the armor of the Empire hero will affect both the look of the hero in all of the game screen modes, as well as greatly influence the hero's ability to launch offensives and defend himself.
When receiving the officers ranks, the beginner imperial commander gets their first set of armor. Usually, the armor is built rugged and reliable to protect its owner in battle. it was not designed for style or to look nice.
When heading to his first assignment, an officer puts on his chest armor. A simple, blatantly forged shell without any of the ornaments used by the warriors of the Empire. The head of the knight is protected by a steel helmet detailed in the best tradition of the imperial masters. Such a helmet is given to each one who becomes an infantry soldier. The warrior's hands are protected with sabre steel covers, which impose almost no restrictions on hand movement and weigh very little. However, they can only protect from light strikes.
