Pike

:Perhaps the simplest and most effective way to arm an army. Pike formations are equally able to ward off cavalry and opposing infantry with a forest of pikes. Against disciplined enemy infantry armed with pikes, engagements tend to become a contest of endurance in the "push of pike".

Mystic Focus
 
−
:A mystic focus is a common addition to large structure, allowing a mage to 'power up' their spells by tapping into a substantial source of power.

Lightning Launcher
 
−
:These crystaline contraptions fire bolts of powerful lightning against nearby targets.  While it is limited to short ranges, the lightning is almost impossible to avoid.

::Upkeep:  ?? Mana

Mana Cannon
 
−
:A 'pure' magic weapon, mana cannons fire a fast-moving ball of force across long distances.  In appearance, they resemble a large open-ended telescope.

===Armor===
 
−
Wood Cladding
 
−
:Skycraft are typically constructed out of thin wooden sheeting over a frame, which provides little to no resistance against weapon fire.  It is thus common to armor skycraft expected to see fighting with thicker, denser wood, giving them effective immunity to hand-held missile weapons and substantially increased resistance to medium-sized field weapons.
 
−
::Cost:  ?? Gold
 
−
 
−
Iron Cladding
 
−
:A few unusual skycraft have been fitted with iron armor; while providing superior protection against weapons it is fairly expensive and very heavy.  As a result a skyship so armored tends to be something of a pig in the air, albeit a very difficult one to disable.
 
−
::Cost:  ?? Gold
 
−
::Upkeep:  ?? Mana
 
−
::Halves all carrying abilities
 
−
 
−
Adamantium Cladding
 
−
:The occasional lord with more money than sense will commission a skyship clad in Adamantium armor.  While the amount of adamantium required is rather excessive, a ship so armored had none of the performance drawbacks of iron cladding.
 
−
::Cost:  Yes Adamantium
 
−
::Upkeep:  ?? Mana
 
−
 
−
Barrier Cladding
 
−
:Some shipbuilders opt to forgo significant physical armor, instead relying on magical defenses to keep the skyship safe.  While less effective against things such as cannons, magical protection is significantly better against spells and spell-firing weapons.
 
−
::Cost:  ?? Mana
 
−
::Upkeep:  ?? Mana
 
−
 
−
===Magic & Equipment===
 
−
Haze Field
 
−
:More sneaky captains have their ships fitted with haze fields, magical wards that can hide a skyship against empty sky.  While hardly perfect, they can help a ship to avoid 'unnecessary entanglements'.  Many civilized ports consider any ship with a haze field as an outlaw vessel.
 
−
::Cost:  ?? Mana
 
−
::Upkeep:  ?? Mana
 
−
 
−
Manajets
 
−
:Some skyships have especially powerful enchantments, throwing out raw mana as propulsive force, making them faster and more responsive.
 
−
::Cost:  ?? Mana
 
−
::Upkeep:  ? Mana
 
−
 
−
Troop Barracks
 
−
:The skycraft was built with particularly large passenger spaces and as a result, increases the amount of Infantry units it can carry by 100% per level.
 
−
::Cost:  ?? Gold
 
−
::Upkeep:  ? Gold

−
Heavy Lift
 
−
:The skycraft has especially powerful enchantments, allowing it to carry particularly weighty loads and as a result, increases the amount of Mechanical units it can carry by 100% per level.
