This mod lets you control the ennemies more easily, by diminishing their armor and buffing their life.
Note that you'll have to deal the exact same damage to kill them.


In my opinion, the current Armor system favors 1 damage type parties (either physical or magical), in order to maximise the damage output and the controls' ability.
On top of that, control mages can have a much harder time than melee (especially warfare), as they'll need to chip the magic armor away, before beginning to be usefull to the team.
This mod lets you diversify your playstyle, without feeling gimped.


In details:
I modified the ArmorBoost, MagicArmorBoost and Vitality of all ennemies.


Vanilla:
Explorer : -50% Armor and Magic Armor, -40% Vitality
Classic : no change
Tactician : +50% Armor, Magic Armor and Vitality


Mod :
Explorer : -75% Armor and Magic Armor, -23% Vitality
Classic : -50% Armor and Magic Armor, +33% Vitality
Tactician : -25% Armor and Magic Armor, +100% Vitality


In order to understand these numbers, let's take an example.
Generally, ennemies' best armor is around 2/3 of their life; for example 100 armor and 150 life.

I divide his armor by 2, taking away 100 / 2 = 50 armor.
I add this lost armor to life, as I want the total damage to kill, to stay the same : 150 + 50 = 200 life.
As a final result, the mob will have 50 armor and 200 life.
Applied to all the different difficulty settings, we get the modded numbers.


Compatibility :
Not compatible with "Easier Tactician & Explorer Modes", as both mods change the same values.
Choose depending on your personnal tastes. :)


Note :
You need to start a new game when activating this mod, otherwise the ennemies will miss a part of their health.
If you want a version which doesn't modify the health, thus not needed a new game, you can use this mod :

(Both mods are obviously not compatible.)
