Stacking armour means stacking weight.
I've come to view 1pt of basic damage in TFT as causing 1pt of fST to a 
Figure.
The idea is that as your opponet becomes more fatigued the potential for 
injury incresses.
As I understand plate armour a suit of tourney plate was siginifacently 
heaver than a suit made for combat because mobility was deemed more 
important than dirrect protection on the battlefield.
It apparently wasn't uncommon for a knight in plate to be able to chase down 
an unarmoured archer for instance, but I'll bet I know who would win a 
marathon race twixt the two.
Also, Mr. invulnerable armour still has to sleep, eat, etc.
He's not gonna have his armour donned 24/7/365.
The Dark Lord would probably try something like New Follower on a squire or 
the like to get poision in his food.
In other words, just because you can't beat them on the battlefield doesn't 
mean they can't be beaten.
Also, I reckon that a spell that can penatrate said effect would be high on 
the research queue of an opposing Wizards Guild.
