Thanks for playing! Yeah I’m a bit bummed that I couldn’t get sound and music in 😢 Definitely the next thing  I’m working on.

Interesting idea regarding dropping the items on the “actual places” on the soldier. I’m not sure how that would work when you end up with 10 swords or 7 shield though 😂 

Thanks for playing!

I tried something different (and complex) with armour this time around. Bear with me for the explanation 😅 

• Armour is something like a separate life pool - let's call that pool durability. The armour stat actually represents a unit's maximum durability.
• While a unit has durability, it takes only 10% of hit damage to life, and 10% to durability - most of it is mitigated!
• The break stat directly damages durability to destroy it much faster, and the pierce stat allows more of your damage to bypass the effect of armour.

If you're interested in a (much) more detailed explanation 😛 The calculation has a few steps:

1. The attacker's break stat directly damages the defender's durability, in full.
2. The pierce percentage is then calculated. It's 100% if they don't have any durability left. Otherwise, it's a base of 10%, which scales up to 100% if you have 100% pierce from Spears.
3. Then we deal with the non-pierced amount, if any: this damages the defender's durability, but 90% of this amount is mitigated by the armour!
4. If the non-pierced amount is enough to deplete the defender's durability, any excess damage (pre-mitigation) will be added back to the pierced amount.
5. And finally, the pierced amount is dealt to the defender's life.

Here's an example:

• Attempted hit damage = 100
• Break stat = 50
• Pierce stat = 50%
• Defender's remaining durability = 100 (too much for the Break stat to overcome on its own)
• Effective pierce = 10% + (50% of 90%) = 55%
• Non-pierced is everything left over = 45%
• Damage to durability = 50 (break) + 100 x 45% (non-pierced) x 10% (90% mitigated by armour) = 54
• Damage to life = 100 x 55% (effect pierce) = 55
