If armor actually made it more difficult to wield weapons, you might have an argument there. Since it's possible to do cartwheels in plate armour, I don't think that you do.

"That makes them excellent arrow catchers."

Right, but as Pythium, about all my units are excellent arrow catcher. IMO, they are not cheap enough to be fodder and too frail in close combat to be core troops. A better slightly better precision could make them great flanker.

They are only 10 gold. The only nations that get troops for less than 10 gold are R'Lyeh (mindless cannon fodder slaves), and Mictlan, who's troops can in no way compete with Pythium's 1 on 1. 10 gold is the base cost for a human unit with standard training.

But of course, I'm just rambling and I'm still fairly newbieish. [/QB][/quote]
