Change Details

This patch increases the pierce resistance of javelineers by two levels, making them more effective vs ranged troops and die less quickly when near defensive structures, thus further differentiating them archers and slingers. An historical justification could be that many (though certainly not all) javelineers had shields, whereas archers typically don't.
