MaxWilson, since when has that been true? I've got recruited hirdmen of that type and they show a defense of 17. They have a base value of 14 for def and the modifiers raise it to 17. The only way they could have def 16 is by having an affliction or being otherwise hampered. Such as being in a swamp province.
Survivalist, I think that's WAD. If somebody with the divine retribution gets killed, the heathens get smited every turn. Doesn't matter why he died, it's the heathens' fault!
