Yes, but 100% of the time you are using inferior version of an armor for your whole army... That's why I don't really think it makes much sense. Because, while you can argue the cheaper (Aram) Shining Armor is a bit better than Iron Armor, you can also argue it's worse (statswise). What definitelly is the case though, is that Iron Armor costs 30% the price of Shining Armor. Yes, it doesn't shine or whatever, so what? Where is the benefit in that? I mean you can take the saved up money and buy actual soldiers, that don't suck in combat. Or more soldiers. Or you can make Steel Armor that looks quite a bit better statswise for 1k more than the Shining Armor. I simply see no actual benefit in buying that Shining Armor for your army. And while the game implies an army of Chosen would be effective against an IK, honestly, I have seen no proof of that whatsoever. (really, if that was the solution, surely they would have won the first war against the IK in the first place, no?)
