Very cool! I'm guessing Sarmatia, just across the Black Sea from Byzantium (but almost a thousand years too early for Constantinople), provided the inspiration for both the name and the amazons. I will be playing them.

I'm noticing that while a Scale Mail Hauberk and Helmet used to be 9+1=10, a Scale Mail Cuirass and Helmet used to be 7+1=8, and Scale Mail Hauberk, Full Helmet, and Round Shield would have been 9+2+3=14 they are now 12, 11, 13 (with Iron Caps, a Half Helmet, and a Shield).

If shields aren't added to protection, what do they do? Just add to defense or is there a block mechanism?

I've read that helmets are needed to protect the head, is that just for affliction checks or is there an actual hit location system?

As long as I'm being greedy, I'd still like to see something representative of the difference between EA & MA Pangaea. I do really appreciate your attitude, I'd also appreciate your work but you claimed it was easy!
