Armor Upgrades Work Properly

**Lusted** · 02-20-2007, 18:42

You asked me about an unused stat line in the export_descr_unit.txt file. At the time i knew people had been testing the armour upgrade system, but there had been no definitive test results due to the shield bug. Now there are definitive test results.

Lusted, you can still chceck that message i send to you, it was really about explanation how armor upgrade works. I can resend it to you if you already deleted it

Try this, use archers against Billmen with 0,1,2,3 upgrade and then do the same against Heavy Billmen.(plate armor)

Well i've found a pm from you asking me to ask the CA devs how it works. No explanation or anything.

Another thought.
Ever tried peasants with 7 armor and nothing else vs an upgraded pike unit with true armor of 7 (unit card may show something else) vs a missile unit with 7 armor and nothing else?

It could well be that the type of unit may react differently?

You can have different results due to a different formations units use. Arrows are not that good for tests, lots of them didnt hit anything. I suggest use crossbows for tests, (ofcourse remove AP ability...) and use very low attack values. if you will use damage 1, unit with armor 7 should be quite resistant, right? much more than unit with armor 1...

Yea, because at that time, there was lots of unknown, so i wanted you to ask them if there is any background system behind armor upgrades.

Well im almost half way through my tests,and everything points to armour upgrade system working properly despite what the unit card says. I'll post the full test results when im done.
