The Elite Boyar's base melee armour has gone from 6 to 8.
This makes it a lot stronger vs 11 damage units such as FU hussar or light cav (the Boyar survives 2x longer than it did before).
The biggest bonus is vs 12 damage units such as elite karambits or elite throwing axemen (the Boyar survives 3x longer than it did before).
The Boyar now beats all paladins 1v1 (except for the +4 Lithuanian paladin, against which it draws (whoever gets the first hit wins)).
The change has no effect on generic FU pikes or halbs.
The change increases effective hitpoints of the Boyar by 13-14% vs heavy/imperial camel. The camels should barely win the fight.
The change has no effect against the Leitis.
