I could see the effects of terrain bonus gears in test battles with and without equipments. The numbers were precise. 

I suppose it works for animal gears too. It is difficult to say anything from a battle report with casualties of 2 units per division though.

Something strange happened.
On a square that contained hides, animal parts, 1 boar spear and 1 plainsman chain (only the commander was equipped, and i have a scout report confirming the res present before the harvesting) i harvested 98 plainsman chainmails, apparently out of nothing. I have an army camped there so i am sure no other battles happened.
A new scout report says that the 1 spear and 1 chain are still there, along with the hides/parts.
I sent cotters again, and they are now seemingly harvesting the boar spear, i'll update when they are done.

The effect on movement can be seen right away, just need to choose a commander and equip and un-equip a horse (or movement affecting gear). Then just give it an attack order, check the time, recall, and do it again without the gear, and check the diferences. The number show diferent speed right away in army window, so seems to be working.
 
Regarding combat stats, i did some fights with gear, and it shifted, reduced casualties as expected ( true that the leather over padded armor not quite as it should, but hunter's bow did a perfect match). So they are enabled, whether some of the shown stats are truly those, would require more fighting..

As of this morning I was able to scavenge 5 riding horses I noticed roaming around.  Although my production ques are still jacked up.  I gained 17 extra siege blocks from a 50 item production run so far.

We are working on a solution to the equipment harvesting - currently no one can harvest equipment.

Same here - I've tried three times now and they never yield anything.  Is there a percentage chance associated with harvesting equipment?  Maybe I just need to keep trying - though harvest times are very longggggg.

I don't know if anyone else has reported this as I don't have the time atm to read the whole thread. I lost a commander in a skirmish. He left his SS Plate Armour on the battlefield. I sent 1 cotter (scavenging enabled) to retrieve the armour. Said cotter harvested/scavenged, completed his task and came back empty handed. The armour shows as still there. Next I sent 2 cotters, and same story.
Please advise.

I am having the same problem.. Have the research done, but they find nothing of value..
