Gilding armour with Gold would do nothing to enhance it's protective value, so I'm against buffing that. In addition to the Middlemen vs Dunedain arguments mentioned above, I'd also like to point out that the Easterlings have no need for a unit with any more health. Keep in mind that a unit with 15 pt armour is still better than all mannish factions save two: Dale and Gondor, which the Golden Easterlings match. And then you have the fire-throwers to make up for any power disparity from the "elite" units of the latter two factions. I think the Easterlings are of an appropriate strength as they are.
