Great idea!!! 

Even if Plarium makes it anoter way for us to pay.

Hopefully, Support monitors this forum.

Thank you for the suggestion, STRIDER!

I will forward it to our developer team. If you have any other interesting ideas, please, write it here! 

Thank you in advance and have a nice day!

Am i missing something in this idea?  I thought that is what Hero Profiles was for?  Each of my Hero Profiles has it's own skills, but also it's own associated armor pieces in the six slots.  For me I just click the "Activate" to swap skills AND gear.  They also do have meaningful names.

I do wish I could name my armor pieces though... I sometimes forget which helmet might be for what etc...

Profiles

spearmen skills & spearmen gear

build skills &  build gear

study skills & study gear

training skills & training gear

yielding skills & yielding gear

food production skills & food gear

assailant skills & assailant gear

scout castle skills & scout castle gear

spearmen castle skills & spearmen castle gear

each gear set has the approprite gems and runes in them.

This is already present in Hero's Profiles. Set things up, save as a profile, change the equipment, save as a different profile.

I use different armor for different purposes like:

• Construction and/or study speed and/or bonuses, 
• Yielding resources and/or capacity, 
• Battling Assailants, (Apostates for Inquisitors), 
• Attacking other cities and/or resource nodes
• Espionage 
• There may be more that I have not included above

It would be very useful to enable quick swapping of these sets. Currently, each of the 6 armor slots must be swapped individually, which is tedious. It might operate in some ways like "Hero Profiles" for skill points.  

Useful features might include:

1. All six armor slots may be part of a set
2. A newly crafted piece of armor may be easily added to an existing set. 
   
3. A particular piece of Armor may appear in multiple sets. 
   
4. Similar functionality may be created for Inquisitor Armor. 
5. Optionally, an armor set may be given a name to indicate its function
6. Optionally, a particular Inquisitor may also be associated with a function

Sorry if similar ideas have already been presented.  

Please add your comments. 

What is the best way to present this suggestion to the developers?

Myself, I (also) wish there were Inquisitor Profiles instead of the current setup. Then the same piece of Inquisitor gear could be assigned to multiple profiles instead of needing a new piece and associated jewels and runes per.

- However, I would not want to lose the advantage of the current setup: Assigning a piece of gear to an Inquisitor dedicates that piece of gear to that Inquisitor. The upshot of which is I can't accidentally dismantle a piece of gear that a different Inquisitor is wearing.

= perhaps apply the concept of locking. Each piece of gear has a locked checkbox. That checkbox has to be cleared before it can be dismantled. (One would go through their profiles / Inquisitor and tick all the elements of the finalized 'set'.)

The same idea would be useful for equipment. Aside from naming them (a la profiles?), it would allow different gems and runes be applied per piece of equipment / profile.

e.g. Castle Defense gear vs Castle Offense gear - (more) defensive rather than offensive jewels/runes would be in the former, and the opposite for the latter.

And thus naming the combination (rather than just the gear piece) would be even more useful.
