Both a boost to protection and a lessening of encumbrance, I don't know, it sounds like it could be pretty significant.

But I agree that the addition of Black Halberds and national spells and at least one unit was probably more important than the armor changes for MA Ulm's longevity in MP, although the poor ghouls did get a bit shafted with loss of sacred status. You can't really build up enough to make a difference, even in sieges, without twice the upkeep costs, and they lose all their reinvigoration and protection from an E9 bless. Thought they were trying to make Ulm 'sexier'.
