Small suggestion, could be controversial. We'll see how it pans out.

I was thinking we should half all the walkspeed debuffs that the armours give you. It could seriously aid tribes against nomadic raiders, if they can equip reinforced steel armour without suffering massive walkspeed penalties, then they probably would. Since what used to be reinforced mithril armour's walkspeed will now become steel armour's walkspeed, this means magma tribes will be able to have high defence without painfully large walkspeed decreases.

This would help tribes living on islands on both maps to no end from raiders, including (but by no means limited to): Along with aiding tribes, this would also help bridge the huge gap between mithril and steel, as currently steel armour is unusable and therefore until you get mithril, you are doomed to iron (or reinforced if you're desperate) armour, which is extremely inferior.
