Increasing attack depending on armour?

[HelloFlighty]

Is there a trigger to increase a unit's attack damage by 50% if it is attacking a large defence, and decrease it's attack damage if it's attacking a small defence?

You don't need a Trigger for that, you can modyfy an Attack-Type to this settings.
Check out "advanced - Game Constants - Combat" there is the Attack/Armor Multiply table.

Edit: If you allready use all Attacktypes.
There is another way but it takes some amount of stuff.

• A DDS.
• Save all Attacktypes and Armortypes of all Unit-Types.
• Use the DamageModyfier Event
• -> Check for not beeing Spell and beeing the Attack target
• -> Check out the Armor/Attack type stuff.
• Do you Multiplier

i don't know of any conditions that can check attack type or armour type

You cant. And you cannot get unit armor nor attack value.

DDS at least allows to get "original" damage.

Then read this thread in Lab: GetUnitArmor
It's not waterproof, but should work for most cases to get the armor value.
If you don't know how to use it, you can say. In GUI 1 line of custom script would be needed.

I'm not sure if you want to work with attack types and such -- if you want, then this tutorial is very informative, and worth reading: WC3's Damage System
