[P3D]

I was playing EA Atlantis a bit, and noticed that the description of the War Shambler says they are equipped with Coral Glaives, while their weapon is Coral Spear. The same discrepancy exists in vanilla.
That'd give them +6 damage for the cost of 1 attack and defense score. Giving them a glaive and increasing their attack score should help their mediocre combat troops. Or just remove those penalties from the coral glaive.
