Equipment.

= Equipment. = Equipment are military assets used to supply troops with the necessary firepower, and protection to wage war. Generally the better equiped a unit is the better it will perform on the battleground, as a result of this fact it is imperative that your nation must keep it's units up to date with the most modern military trinkets, as to not be outclassed by the enemy. However this is easier said than done as producing and creating better equipment takes time, effort and capital, so sometimes you will simply have to compromise on some of the equipment your army uses, prioritizing what's more important for it depending on the situation. Equipment varies from nation to nation, giving each nation it's own unique "branding" so to say. Although this is the case most of the time, some general features will often be shared between weapons, due to military manufactures and researchers reaching the same conclusions.

How to produce equipment?
Equipment is produced through military factories which can be owned privately or by the state, you can also produce military equipment through civilian factories once the war really starts to get off, just be aware that this prioritization of military production will cause scarcity on consumer goods, which can lead to rebellions. Each piece of equipment takes up a factory slot, and it will periodically produce it. How much it produces will depend on factory size, workers, and resources. Equipment production also takes a lot of capital, and how much it costs depends on the type of weapon, armor, etc, and your nation worker laws.

How to equip equipment?
When equipment is produced it reaches your troops through your supply lines, railroads, shipping convoys, and pontentially even through car. Lack of this vital infraestructure will affect the rate in which that equipment reaches your troops. However in order to know which equipment is being shipped to whom, you must first create new soldier templates, after this templates are created all new troops will be equiped with your new equipment, if you're produce enough of it, and you're able to supply them of course. Old troops will adapt over time.
