Arms and Armoury Workshops

There are a number of workshops you need to build before you can equip the various types of soldiers. Each of them costs wood and gold to build and needs a resource to create its output. You will need multiple workshops of certain kinds as some of them can produce two different types of equipment.
In other cases, you'll want multiples of them to speed up production.

Fletcher

The fletcher makes bows, not arrows as you might expect, though one assumes he makes some of those as well. The fletcher himself looks like an old soldier with a grizzled beard and a distinct limp. He will take wood from the stock pile and carefully shape it into either longbows or crossbows.
Bows are needed for archers, crossbows for crossbowmen.

Wood: 20
Gold: 100
Workers: 1

Produces:
Bows - 2 wood/bow
Crossbows - 3 wood/bow

Poleturner

You'll need more than just bows to keep the enemy off your walls and outside your castle. Another one to help you with this issue is the humble poleturner. When supplied with enough wood he will make you spears and pikes.
Spears are needed for spearmen, pikes for pikemen.

Wood: 10
Gold: 100
Workers: 1

Produces:
Spears - 1 wood/spear
Pikes - 2 wood/pik

Tanner

The tanner will visit your dairy farms and slaughter the odd cow to make leather armour for your troops. He is a fairly fast worker.
Note that killing these cows will have a negative effect on your food production.
Leather armour is needed for crossbowmen and macemen.

Wood: 10
Gold: 100
Workers: 1

Produces:
Leather armour - 3 armours/co

Blacksmith

The blacksmith is needed for the more expensive iron weapons. You will need a steady supply of iron before he will be able to create heavy maces and sharp swords.
Maces are needed for macemen, swords for swordsmen and knights

Wood: 20
Gold: 200
Workers: 1

Produces:
Mace - 1 iron/mace
Sword - 1 iron/swor

Armourer

The armourer will pound iron to shape it into metal armour. This is the best protection your troops can get and sells for rather an impressive amount of money.
Metal armour is needed for pikemen, swordsmen and knights.

Wood: 20
Gold: 200
Workers: 1

Produces:
Metal Armour - 1 iron/armou
