The reason I love this so much is that it means Mangonels can sometimes live shots from other Mangonels when they otherwise wouldn't. A direct hit still kills, but if you move out of the way and still get hit on the side then normal Mangonels would die, but Ironclad ones survive with like 1 HP. In fact I'm pretty sure it is actually 1 HP.

It also means that rams don't die nearly as quickly to Villagers, and when you have TKs in your rams and melee units are attacking your rams then it gives you even more time to destroy the melee units with your TKs because the rams survive longer.
