Agreed. Desert Axemen are absolutely overpowered. 11/5/2 armor/skill/shield (18 total). They are bare-chested and wearing kilts. They certainly don't rate 11 armor. The Nile Spearmen are actually wearing light woven armor on their chests and their stats are only 3/5/5 (13 total).

I can only assume the 11 is a bug or typo. They should be 0 in armor, and bump up their skill or hit points if necessary for balance. As they currently stand, arrows bounce right off them (remember, they're practically naked and carry a very small/crude shield)
