Yes, the armor does tend to completely tire and demoralise people who are not ready for the extra weight. I sword fight with a friend of mine, who's uncle creates armor and sells it for a living. I'm a fairly large guy, so my armor weighs well over 50 lbs. But, I already do hard work, and I also eat right and work out, so the armor doesn't affect me that much. It also probably doesn't hurt that we do push-ups, sit-ups, train, etc., while wearing weight pads. But shouldn't elite warriors who train constantly and who have obviously seen quite a bit of battle, have awesome stamina, even in armor?
I can understand Gaesatae taking down elephants as being overpowered, but shouldn't they still be infantry killers? If they are on battle drugs, then how is 2HP so unrealistic? (when I posted this I did not realise that they were on drugs

) Maybe they should have a large penalty against elephants?
