Why do you think it's ridiculous to have armour piercing javelins? Can you give any reasons? How about javelin armed infantry? I find it pretty logical that these relatively heavy ranged weapons with lots of kinetic energy are able to pierce armour. Well, I admit I haven't studied much physics... If the head of the javelin is designed pretty much like the bodkin arrow, why wouldn't it have similar qualities as the bodkin arrow has? In the terms of gameplay I think it's fair that javelin units have the "effective against armour" trait.

I don't think this is too bad off topic yet... It concerns desert cavalry, doesn't it? Doesn't have much to do with skirmishing, I'm afraid, but you can't have all.
