Attack/Armor ideas?

[Nichita_00]

Hey guys, I'm working on a map and I'm in an idea crisis regarding attacks and armor; I want them to be sorta like rock/paper/scissor but we got more than 3 attacks/armour types...

Until now I thought of

Shock, Spear and Cavalry, but I can't really fit more in there, so I need something to have:

Shock, Spear, Cavalry, Gunpowder, Siege (I dunno, I see them as unit types when they are attack&armour combinations.

And sorry, I'm a bit tipsy so I can't type really good.

What is it that you're having trouble with?

The game supports 7 or 8 attack/armor types. You can change how much damage armor types take from certain types of attacks in gameplay constants, and you can also change the names of armor types I believe.

I know I can change them, I know HOW to do it, but I don't have any ideas TO WHAT I want to change them so they have a perfect balance...

I need to find the perfect attack/armor type combinations, that realistically simulate unit types (like spearmen kill cavalry, but they get killed by swordsmen, etc)
