Def and Prot

[magnate]

Hmm. That thread is here http://tinyurl.com/bp99k

What does Kristoffer mean by the last part of "so now every mounted [unit] gets +3 and have their armor defense subtraction added"?

He can't mean that mounted units ignore armour penalties for defence, because they don't (the van, vanherse and vanjarl all get -1 from the chain cuirass). Perhaps he means that (unlike in Dom1) mounted units DO now suffer the encumbrance penalties of heavy armour. Will have to test this.

Does anyone know if this +3 applies to ALL mounted units (spider riders, wolf rider, etc.)?

Also, still hoping someone can explain why Invulnerability works differently to Ironskin ...

My guess is any unit with the #mounted attribute gets the penalties.

I think it is to make it harder to get protection too much higher than 30.

I guess so. It's a bit ham-fisted though - with a decent body armour, hat and/or shield you can get well over 30 prot with Ironskin.

Ho hum.
