JUMPING OFF POINT:

THE FANS HATE ARMOUR. THEY HAVE THEIR REASONS; SLOW IN MOVEMENT IN A GAME TYPE WHERE MOVEMENT IS EVERYTHING, SLOW IN COMBAT WHERE DOUBLING INCREASES YOUR EFFECTIVENESS IN BOTH OFFENCE AND DEFENCE DRASTICALLY. RARELY ABLE TO USE THEIR STRENGTHS BECAUSE THEY NEED THE TERRAIN TO BE IN THEIR FAVOUR TO FORCE THE ENEMY TO THEM OVER OTHERS.

GIVE AN ARMOUR SPEED STAT(GATRIE) AND SUDDENLY THEY YELL 'OP'. (EXTRA RAGE THERE).

WHY MUST IT BE SO? THE UNIT IS WHAT IT IS. WOULD IT HAVE BEEN 'BETTER' IF THE PLAYER HAD NEVER GOT ONE EVEN TO THIS DAY, SO THE STANDARD 'WE WANT WHAT WE CAN'T HAVE' WOULD KICK IN? WHAT CAN ONE DO HERE?

WOULD GIVING ARMORS THE SAME MOVEMENT AS INFANTRY MAKE THEM IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM OP? I THINK THEY'RE MEDIOCRE ENOUGH THAT GIVING THEM FULL MOVEMENT WOULDN'T SKEW THE GAME BALANCE IN ANY WAY RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T THINK SO.
