Marignon Man at Arms
 

I wonder why the Marignon Man at Arms infantry only have map move 1? They are considered Elites, and they are your only shielded troops unless you recruit cavalry. As Elites, should they not have a map move of 2? They are a great meat shield for Mari, but seriously slow down all the other troops that have map move 2.

my guess would be because they're too busy touching themselves at night.

Omni, you are right on as usual.

Re: Marignon Man at Arms
 

Yeah, given the horrid price markup they really should be move 2, or something...though the goetics are slow anyhow.

Re: Marignon Man at Arms
 

Because they are heavy infantry.

I don't think any balance consideration really went into the thought process.

They're still mapmove 1 in cbm but have goldcost of 12.

Bigger fix for marignon: get rid of old age, get rid of afflictions on flagellants.

Re: Marignon Man at Arms
 

Hey, the afflictions on flagellants are so damn thematic! I mean, they bash themselves all the day! If we start removing the thematic things, were do we end up?

Re: Marignon Man at Arms
 

Except that they are so bad, they're almost completely useless. On an already marginal sacred unit.

Just cutting back the frequency would be nice. Ideally, I'd like to see them start uninjured (newly dedicated flagellants would be unlikely to have crippled themselves yet), but have a fairly small chance of developing an affliction every month. Preserving the thematic flavor, but leaving the troops useful, especially if you don't intend to keep them around for long:)
