Armor

  • The armor penetration calculation counts every armor pieces the hit body part has, while vanilla uses the total defense value.
  • In damage calculation, the base damage will combine armor effective defense, hit body part to calculate the random factor in the hit, which will reduce armor effects. The purpose is to simulate armor thickness distribution.
  • Although vanilla armor only provided 4 part of defense, the random factor entend it to 7 body part . For now, it's not configurable

    By default, all range weapon speed are reduced to make it feels more natural. Speed will be increased by weapon skill.
  • Added configs relate to weapon thrust speed, thrust damage and missile speed.
  • Make projectile shoot by range weapon that have penetrate shield flag being able to penetrate shield.

  • Defender base energy is relate to their max HP. Then get extra factor from the defending weapon class, weapon weight, relative skill level arm weight, armor weight, block type (block, parry, chamber block).
