Items

Items, also known as ARTIFACTS in this game... you don't HAVE to get them, but they're not hard to get and can help you out GREATLY... here are the items you can have in the game and what they will do for you, like a passive skill since the item is always with you after you get it.

Articles of Nobility- Second best item in the game, your weekly commission goes up like a thermostat in the desert.

Shield of Protection- Gives your armies more hp and I believe more defense in battle, very helpful, VERY helpful.

Crown of Command- No doubt this is the GREATEST ARTIFACT IN THE GAME. It DOUBLES your ENTIRE leadership, if you have 100, you have 200 with the crown, if you have 2,000, you get 4,000. Amazing treasure, the ultimate item.

Amulet of Augmentation- Perfect for the Sorceress and other spell users, increases magic spell attack power.

Ring of Heroism- The Ring of Heroism is a great item, it increases your leadership abilities but also gives you LUCK value which can like give any of your army, even a peasant a CRITICAL strike to possibly kill a unit like a Nomad or such.

Anchor of Admiralty- Probably the least important artifact in the game, decreases the boat rental price of 500 gold to 100 gold.

Book of Necros- This book increases your spell #, it helps you a lot when you want to use the instant army and possibly cheat.

Sword of Prowess- This supreme item increases your army's attack power, I'd say by like double or half, which is incredibly useful.
