Strategus equipment question

[Rico]

Hey o/

Just participated in a Strategus Battle, and we had 2 body armors: Light Strange Armor and Saracen Lamellar Cuirass. Afaik, body armor is not lootable during the battle (only the remainder is transferred to the winning team after the battle) and we only had these two armors available in the spawn window at the beginning of the battle.

How is it possible that some of our guys spawned with Rus Scale Armor then, which was apparently not available to all of us? Can you bring personal gear to battles your hero fights?

I think the person thats commanding can set different ranks for gear,so not everyone can use everything.
(Prevents ppl from wasting CSs etc)

Oh, that probably explains it. Are the ranks these you can see in the ladder of your own clan?

[Krex]

I dont know,but I think its for every item and commanders can set the ranks of players in the roster.
