Armor Upgrades Work Properly

[JaM]

well, actually armor 7 flesh (what moded pike militia have) ends up being the same as armor 3 (*7) breastplate (what upgraded pike militia have) - which shoots your whole theory to pieces


have you even looked at the file? there IS such a table! look, right below stat_pri_armour, is ;stat_armour_ex in which the values to use after upgrades are listed - we know those values aren't just for display, because the display doesn't use them - the display uses 1, 2 & 3... so what are those values for? answer: the game mechanics

If you look at that line you will see ; - thats mean this line is ignored! You can easilly remove it and game will work without any problems. That line was linked with that system Dev's wanted to add, but they disabled it before release as it didnt worked. If you remove that ; - game will crash...
