beginner question
 

in Armored Princess, what are the little boxes under each Troop that look like they could hold equipment or loot? Is there anyway to give them armor or weapons?

Thanks for any help as I have no guide or manual and can't find one on the website.

Those display your current conditions. For example, if a troop is burning, poisoned, slowed, hasted, blessed, etc.

Keep in mind that each negative condition also reduces the troop's morale by one, so effects that cause DoT (damage over time) have two effects - the damage itself, plus the negative morale. One of the reasons why DoT is so powerful.

thanks. was really hoping it was to equip them but that's helpful too.
