− | + | Hoods compete with the wide variety of social hats available, including several added by the [[Royalty DLC]]. With little in the way of armor and not a leader in either type of insulation, hoods will typically only be used when their [[Social Impact]] bonus is required. They are inferior to, should be exchanged for, literally any other headgear unless the social impact buff is required. The hood should never be worn when protection is required - they can be worn in non-combat situations, and switched for a helmet on the battlefield | |
− | + | The only real other core-only competitor is the bowler hat. In comparison, the hood offers a larger social impact bonus in exchange for inferior cold resistance and 250% of the cost. That said, if the social buff is necessary the extra cost is likely worth it. And if you aren't after the social buff, why aren't you making [[cowboy hat]]s or helmets? | |
− | + | Compared to the [[top hat|top]] and [[ladies hat]], the hood mostly mirrors the hats but does have some advantages over them. They provide the same social impact, have the same cost, and while the hood does provide some armor to the hats' none, it is unlikely to be enough to matter. The key differences are: | |
# That the hood only requires [[Research#Complex clothing|Complex Clothing]] to be researched, not [[Research#Noble apparel|Noble Apparel]]. | # That the hood only requires [[Research#Complex clothing|Complex Clothing]] to be researched, not [[Research#Noble apparel|Noble Apparel]]. | ||

− | + | Thus, unless the cold insulation is likely to be relevant, or you require the hats for your nobles anyway, the hood is superior to them. | |
