I think there is a little too many upgrade options already lol. am thinking about making those a special power for one of the units instead. The masks may make a good anti-dragon power.

[zimoo]

I was planning to include dragon helms with the heavy armour upgrade. When I first wrote the techtree they had about 10 different upgrades >_<
