    Default Armor of the Shipri Tukul (Babylonian Heavy Spearmen)...most awesome merc infantry

    How could such a cool looking mercenary unit like the Shipri Tukul (Babylonian Heavy Spearmen) only have 9 armor points? It saddens me that his full torso/shoulder armor has the same value as a polybian era Hastati who is only wearing a square chest plate...

    His iron scale armor looks flipping awesome!

    Btw, this unit is undoubtedly my favorite mercenary infantry unit...

    I suppose he lacks in the quality of the armour. IIRC the description says sth about this unit being a bit outdated at this time

    Actually, it's this:

    Scale armour = 6
    Cheekless Helmet = 3

    Under the stat system, this is what his armour would be. Compare with Thureophoroi:

    Linothorax = 4
    Cheeked Helmet = 4
    Greaves = 2

    Historically, thureophoroi very rarely had greaves anyways...another AtB fix

    The Epeirote Thureophoroi already wear boots, so it wouldn't be to hard to simply copy that part of the skin to the other versions.
