+2 armor-upgrade/ ;stat_armor_ex

[LordVladec]

Hi Guys,

If you have a armor-smith, and improve a unit, the unit usually get a +1 bonus to the armor.
No matter what armor, there are always +1...

But, one of my new units have as standard a chainmail, the _ug1 model of this unit a plate armor.
I want this unit now instead of a +1 bonus gets a +2 bonus on the armor-value.
does it work?
I read once it goes over the "stat_armor_ex" value in the EDU, but i change the entry there and nothing happens...

the modded entry:
...
stat_pri_armour 7, 5, 4, metal
;stat_armour_ex 7, 9, 0, 0, 5, 4, 4, metal
...

armor 7 before upgrade, armor 9 after (+2 armor)

why this entry shows no effect?

One that line is commented out, two that line does not work anyways, three the line your after is the armour_ug_levels line.

[LordVladec]

thanks for the answer
but - sorry, i know my english is bad...

three the line your after is the armour_ug_levels line.

what do you mean with this sentence?

greetings

I think I misunderstood, I thought you wanted the upgrade points to reach the points required to upgrade the model. What you appear to want is the change the point bonus to defence depending on the armour upgrade level, which is globally controlled.

[LordVladec]

Ah, yes, that was the question

okay, thanks, too bad that that this upgrade-point is hardcoded

anyway, thank you very much

I read that the shown +1 armor bonus per upgrade actually had bigger effects in battle (+2 or even +4 for first one).

@Squid: Can you confirm/deny that?

It's because I consider to double the upgrade bonus per upgrade via edb and edu.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, the actual upgrade has been confirmed as just under 3, how they came up with the exact number is still somewhat of a puzzle to me.
