OTOH, I've always interpreted it as if those Barbarian swordsmen (Bataroas, Xerunoudozez, Milnaht) occasionally had some irregular armour besides their helmet, upping their armour to 5 (helmet+basic clothing+factor x).
Maybe the Cohors Reformata's value should be upped to 11? That way, they would almost be on par with Solduros (12). I say almost because I assume that Solduros, being genuine elite troops, would be more likely to get top notch equipment than legionaries.I also don't get the Principes - Cohors difference.
Shield ratings count twice against missiles. This means that any unit with a shield value of 4 has a pretty decent anti-missile defence from the front.
That makes them more interesting to hire (they are also slightly more expensive, accordingly). Likewise the Cretan Archers.Why Goldberi Curoas have 1 more point of armor than Bataroas?
