armour +0/+1
affeting only hellenic units (maybe some units of the bronze greek age would be affected like spartan hoplite)

it's a beginning

Good morning, just trying to revive this topic, considering that the Hellenics currently have almost no technologies of their own, this idea could work for them as a small buff.
Considering that it was armor widely used by the Hellenic and other cultures, probably due to its lower cost and higher production, it was also reasonably good at protecting soldiers, given the information is more likely to be a better fit as technology to enhance Hellenic light and medium infantry such as: Citizen Hoplite; Light hoplite and Ekdromoi.

As it was somewhat lighter armor than that of the times, although it was replaced some time later by better and cheaper iron armor made by the Romans, it could give more +1 melee and piercing armor or just +1 piercing armor and would cost 4~5 when researched only in the Hellenic building.

Is the image 32x32?

No, it is 64x64 as requested for technology images.

@Endru1241 @DreJaDe do u guys think greek need this armor as they r currently? (Mentioning drejade since he played with greek before)

Not sure if they need more armor given that their army can be over inflated already... Maybe HP increase instead?

Implemented to affect [Medium Armored][Hellenic] only with 15% extra hp and +0/1 armors.
