1.9.0 Client Release

[Winter]

from what I've seen this is a ridiculously good update, I assumed my unreplied suggestions were ignored .
Looks like it's finally worthwhile going for all 16 heroes, and using them more properly.

I'll note some slightly questionable aspects, but is unimportant:
repeaters already have heavier xbows than chosen, and now less ath. If chosen picks up repeater bows they have speed advantage.
inf primarily unchanged?

I may not always find the time to write out a decent response, but I do always find the time to read

The repeaters were left with a higher weight to keep repeatermen from being too good at kiting compared to other crossbowmen and the class was instead given extra ironflesh to make it a tankier stationary class.  Whether or not this will stay is uncertain at this time.

Infantry armors at Transitional tier and higher generally received +2 armor, various amounts of leg armor, and lost weight as the tiers progressed.
