thanks, puzz, and everyone. i'd actually gotten this "armor upgrade = increased fatigue" idea in my head from playing in the desert with gold plated heavy crossbowmen (egypt in MTW) and had the suckers get so tired they could hardly shoot. horrible experience.
after that i'd always tried to keep archers without armor, and figured low armoured close combat folks like monks, ninjas and kensai would benefit from low fatigue 'fatigues'
...hrm...maybe for MTW it's different, but i can vouch (from tests today) that fatigue during combat is the same for all armour levels. i DID notice a variation when in snow and rain, but that was only for movement i believe. yes.
I also noticed once i stopped camping and started my rampage nothing could stop me. I'm seriously considering handicapping myself next time (besides the obvious, "geishas for defense and spying only" rule i think eveyrone and their dog goes by)
