[Duke]

Well, I need help with attacks. I am making map where are tanks, bazookas and shooters.
I need to bazooka easily pwn tank.
I need to shooter easily pwn bazooka
I need tank to easily pwn shooter.
What armors and attack types i need to add so it will be like that? Is it possible?

Umm you could always use warcraft II unit balancer, but it only works if you are not counting on skills(like bash or stun etc)

This is Simple:
in the Advanced Game Settings aka Game Constants
u will need to search for the ArmorDamage calculation.
It controlls what kind of Damage deals how many Damage to a choosen Armor.

just do somthing like this:

TankInfo = Heavy Armor and Siege Attack
BazookaInfo = Light Armor and Pircing Attack
ShooterInfo = Medium Armor and Normal Attack

now let them have different Factors to each other:

HeavyA / LightA / MediumA​

Siege Attack . . . . 100% . . . . . 50% . . . . . . 200%
Pircing Attack . . . . 200% . . . . . 100% . . . . . . 50%
Normal Attack . . . . 50% . . . . . 200% . . . . . . 100%

this table means (for Siege Attacks):
it deals 100% damage to units with Heavy Armor (so Tanks are equally strong to other Tanks)
it deals 50% damage to units with Light Armor (now Tanks have a HARD TIME with killing Bazookas)
it deals 200% damage to units with Medium Armor (Tanks eat Shooters for Breakfast)

---------
additional note:
this Table is an Example to show how to do.
If u use this, there could be a big imbalance because of
Tanks do less damage to Bazookas AND Bazookas do more damage
to Tanks => a 400% power of bazookas against Tanks.
so if every unit has same amount of hp and damage then 1 Bazooka can
kill 2 tanks at same time and then the next following tank would have a chance agains this 25% hp bazooka. Just keep this in mind, if u change damage and Armor.

Normal Armor is NOT Medium Armor.
i not sure, but i think same goes for Attack.

and i cant help u to Change the Pictures of the Armor nor the Name.

However, I hope this helped u.

Some extra info:
To change the names of armours use the game interface [advanced>Game Interface] enable show real names and then just change the armortip and armorname fields.

In exchange could someone tell me where to find these damage tables? Are they the "DamageBonusChaos" type fields, and if so what is the sequence for the numbers afterwards.

thanks in advance, sorry for posting in a solved problems thread.

I think it's not prohibited to post in Solved Problems, but you should have just searched the forums to get info.

But here you go:
Go to Advanced / Game Constants, the rest if self-explanatory.

I answerd this already in the PM to u, right?
But now for everyone.

How do i find the ArmorModifications.

WE > Advanced > Gameplay Constants > (now change te Display of the Data
(because some of us have other Version than the others.)) Search for:

DamageBonusHero
DamageBonusSiege
DamageBonusChaos
DamageBonusPiercing
DamageBonusMagic
DamageBonusNormal
DamageBonusSpell

On a DoubleClick this Data show how much the Given damage type (here RED) will do to what kind of Armor.
U have to Enable Changes(top left coner of Gameplay constans) inorder to be able to Change hohum: logical..).

So if u want to make Heavy Armor being damn good againt everything
u have to doubleclick every DamageBonuswhatever
and change the vaule of Heavy to lets say 70.

I hope that helped.

EDIT: @ emperor_d3st I did search the forums, and I found this thread. I also found the "DamageBonusX" section in Gameplay Constants, I was just being a bit dim [+ it was late UK time...]
