Default Re: Ashdod is worthless now

It looks like the difference is the Anakite armor encumbrance was increased from 2 in CBM 1.84 to 3 in CBM 1.92. Doing a quick check it seems like prot 12-14 armors are generally 2 encumbrance, prot 20+ are 3 encumbrance and prot 16-17 can go either way. For example, Aby's troops have a prot 17, enc 2 plate hauberk but Pan's centaur cataphracts have prot 17, enc 3 centaur barding.

Of course for commanders you can get around this by swapping out their armor and/or adding reinvig gear but the troops are stuck with it. Given its OP history Ashdod doesn't get much sympathy and I'm assuming this was a deliberate nerf so that even with an assumed E10 bless they could be tired out more rapidly than when they had a total encumbrance of 6 under 1.84 (though to be fair Hinnom's [commander-only AFAIK] prot 17 Dawn Armor still has an encumbrance of 2).

I can even live with the jarls, it's those damn skratti sending everyone to hell that gets me.
