    Its a bit OT, but maybe the helmet gives that much protection not because of the protected surface, but because of WHAT it protects. Those naked dude had a reason why they were naked except for the head...

    Seconded, you may be stabbed with spear at your torso, but as long as it didn't fatally pierce heart or backbone, you can still be alive... but nobody survive a head break...

    True, but a gut wound or even a nasty blow to a limb would still disable the soldier for the duration of the battle. He'd have a much higher chance of recovering later, but I imagine that wounded soldiers would normally not fight on. (Barring scrapes) I do believe Caesar refers to wounded soldiers being taken out of the front ranks to the back.

    I think the stats are just there to represent the various soldiers in battle accurately. You can't really look into them and expect to find any uniformity that makes sense, because everything was individually modified to make them work in the game correctly.
