Overall, plate armor is rarely worth it. A non-[[wood]] set of plate is a large resource investment in the early game. Wood plate armor offers minimal protection, and still takes a lot of work to create. All sets of plate armor slow the user by -0.8c/s - the highest movement penalty in the game, tied with [[cataphract armor]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}. | Overall, plate armor is rarely worth it.

Flak research is not terribly hard to acquire once you've researched Plate armor already. Flak can also be obtained from [[raiders]] or through [[trade]], meaning that even tribal colonies can replace plate armor relatively quickly. |
