I don't know, that was just a guess. Some weapons work without hands, that much I do know. They might have to be defined as #bonus, but that shouldn't matter. Hmm.

So I cant give a unit specialized unremovable armor? I checked, and the non bonus weapons without hand slots still work. Like Guardian in Nephilim mod still banishes opponents even though he has no hands. And Ruah armor works even though units dont have body slots (I think it works as a shield, because like helm it doesnt give protection boni).
