ELCP

If you play with the Endless Legend Community Patch, there is reworked Era 1 strategic equipment. These techs were highly undesirable, as the era didnt last long enough, the equipment was too expensive for its stats, and the tech cost progression generally meant more impactful techs were preferred. The following changes attempt to make Era 1 strategic gear a cost effective alternative to Era 2 Iron gear (for early warfare):

• Advanced Alloys unlocks tier 1 Titanium and Glassteel Weapons, Armors, Accesories, and grants 20% cost reduction.
• Advanced Armor has accordingly been removed from the game.
• The Broken Lords have "Advanced Alloys" as a starting tech instead of "Advanced Armor".
• The stats of all Era 1 strategic armor parts have been improved so that they can roughly rival Era 2 iron armor.
• The strategic and industry cost of all Era 1 strategic gear has been halved (except for Tomes and Insignias).

In vanilla game version upon unlocking this technology, the only following items are unlocked:
