    Aye, they tire and lose moral slower with those traits.

    =(

    On another note.

    Gund-î Nîzagân (Parthian Spearmen) are described as "poorly trained, levy infantry" but have the trait "highly_trained." I guess training only refers to the tightness of the formation or tiring rate, but it's funny nonetheless. :D

    Parthian Spearmen aren't supposed to lose formation as quickly as others, hence highly trained. That's the point of that trait value (trained, highly trained, etc.)

    Yeah, they deserve at least +1 armor. Even though they don't have cheek guards, what-you-see-is-what-you-get armor ratings dictate that they should have more armor value than polybian hastati - their armor covers the entire torso and shoulders (shoulder armor should count just as much as check guards, if not more!) whereas polybian hastati armor is just a single chest square...

    Morale is another thing, imo +1 morale too but I'll see...
