Acero wootz
Acero wootz lets Dravidian infantería and caballería attacks ignore armor, making them more effective against heavily armored unidades. It improves damage once they connect, but does not solve the challenge of reaching a distancia targets or bypass asedio armor.

Resumen
Acero wootz lets Dravidian infantería and caballería attacks ignore armor, making them more effective against heavily armored unidades. It improves damage once they connect, but does not solve the challenge of reaching a distancia targets or bypass asedio armor.
Effect and affected unidades
The technology allows eligible Dravidian infantería and caballería attacks to ignore the target's armor. This is particularly valuable against heavily armored cuerpo a cuerpo unidades, but it does not remove armor-class bonuses or make the affected unidades equally strong against every target. Asedio armor remains a separate defense. (unidades, edificios, unidades)
Research cost and timing
Research Acero wootz at the Castillo in Edad Imperial; the recorded time is 60 segundos, and this entry does not list a separate cost. It is most valuable when enemy armor-dependent cuerpo a cuerpo unidades are likely to contest the frontline. If archers dominate the matchup, invest in a safe approach and supporting unidades rather than expecting armor penetration to solve the access problem. (Edad Imperial, Castillo, unidades)
Matchup plan: Acero wootz target-selection plan
Use Acero wootz to win the frontline against armor-reliant cuerpo a cuerpo unidades, then convert that advantage into control of routes and structures. Pair the affected infantería and caballería with a distancia unidades or asedio that can pressure targets they struggle to reach. Do not chase archers across open ground: ignoring armor helps only after attacks connect, and it does not bypass asedio armor. Scout the enemy composition before researching and use a screen or terrain to make contact on favorable terms. (unidades, edificios, map control, Fortaleza, unidades, unidades)
Efecto y momento de investigación
El Acero wootz permite que los ataques de infantería y caballería ignoren la armadura. Es una tecnología exclusiva de los drávidas, disponible en la Edad Imperial; se investiga en el Castillo durante 60 segundos. El efecto es especialmente importante contra objetivos muy protegidos, así que valora qué líneas de infantería y caballería usarás en la fase final. (unidades)
