Keep in mind that it's actually a gameplay element! The group of Troll mercs, for example, is great against AI Abysia with its death and heat scales destroying any hope for supplies...
A lot of the descriptions have hidden meanings. It was only recently that things like "Supply Bonus", "Pillage Bonus", and "Recuperation" became icons... previously, they were secreted away in the creative descriptions. I think it's because KO is a teacher; he wants to reward literacy=)
