Plate armor replaced chain mail -- a more effective form of armor. Helmet designs were improved as well.

Improvements were made in siege weaponry, particularly stone-throwing machines like the trebuchet. Fire-pots were also thrown as a form of incendiary device.

Carrier pigeons were used to relay messages.

Those were a few of the innovative techniques used in the period of the Crusades.
