Armour Values

[Kylan271]

Regards armour - defence values in RTW. Is there a listing somewhere of what armour adds what bonuses to your units so you can assign a unit defence value? I wanted to create a new unit from scratch,but have to guess based on approximates in RTW.

I play AD&D and armour is clearly defined what armour is what value,but here,hmmm?????

Can we somehow have a listing of how many points what armour gives to your defence???

Brestplate
Greaves
Helmet
Shield types
Leather curius
etc etc.

There are no armor items per ce, only abstracted defense values associated with each unit type.

From Aradan's EDU guide: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=111344

stat_pri_armour armour, def_skill, shield, sound

The unit's defensive stats.

• [armour] : Unit's armour value. Taken into account in all occasions (soldier attacked from any direction, melee and ranged). It measures the amount of protection a soldier's armour offers. Max value is 63 and everything higher will be considered 63.
• [def_skill] : Unit's defensive skill, taken into account only in melee and only against attacks from the front or the right side. It doesn't affect defense against missiles. It represents a soldier's ability to parry(rather than block) and dodge strikes. Max value is 63 and everything higher will be considered 63.
• [shield] : Unit's shield value, taken into account against both ranged and melee attacks, but only when they come from the front or the left side. Against missiles from the front it offers twice the protection it's value suggests. Measures the blocking capabilities of a unit's shield. Max value is 31 and everything higher will be considered 31.
• [sound] : Sound played when unit gets hit. Can be: flesh, leather, or metal.

The values really only make sense in relation to other units.

Thanks Bro,I think this is what I bumped into before and forgot as the link was and now is still dead. So I can't use any of it. Handy for any Mod creator but something has happened and now kaput..
