Highest armour without extra fatigue in desert?

[Es Arkajae]

IIRC its 2 for infantry and 3 for cavalry. Anything above that and fatigue starts to get bad from being in desert. Shield does not add to the armor for fatigue calculation.

So your HA/Turcoman should be fine as they only have 2 from start.

You sure about that mate?, not just the shield thing but the 2 limit for infantry?

If its so then one is simply better off not armouring anyone you're sending to the desert.

Yes positive. I just made a few tests to confirm it.

Infantry with armour 1 and 2 gets same fatigue as desert does not effect them at all. Above that it just gets worse and worse. For cavalry its same for armour 2 and 3 (no cav has armour 1)

Shield does not have any effect at all.

It means you can give all the unarmoured infantry one armour upgrade. IIRC there are only a couple of inf units that has armour 2 (swiss halbs and swiss pikemen) so the rest cant get armour upgrades without getting problems in desert.

Thanks! This information was very useful!

It should be posted in the numerology thread at the .com or something...
