question on damage types.

[Terlinx1]

Ive notice that under actions in the unit action type.
theirs this choice
Cause (triggering unit) to damage (triggeringunit), dealing 500.00 damage of attack type [spells] and damage type [Normal]

Their is also the choice in damage type of....
Enhanced
Fire
Cold
Lighting
Poison
Disease
Divine
magic
sonic
acid
and so forth.

WHat i want to know is what is the purpose for this. Does each type do something special or something? whats the purpose of fire cold lighting and the rest of these if in ability editor their not listed anywhere?

Hmm im far from sure on this. But here we go:
Enhanced: No idea?
Fire: Splash damage.
Cold: Reduce attack and movement speed.
Lightning: Chance to dispell positive spell on attacked enemy.
Poison: Cause extra damage over time.
Disease: Unit will slowly loose life over time (1hp per sec)
Divine: Think this is shitty powerful, but dont know why XD
Magic: Thats magic attack. The Spell one, which i think you though was magic attack, is spell damage. This damage will be reduced by units which are immune, or strong against magic (mountain giant, belf spell thief etc.)
Sonic: No idea.
Acid: some poison like affect i would guess.
Show me the rest ^^

Well hope it helped. But as said, im far from sure on all this. Think its true though

i think enhanced is the damage with an x% amount more in it just guessing sonic would be something silencing or sumthing

Some of these damage types also have spells with the same name. are they that spell or something?
*if what u said is true saphiree does that mean theirs some hardcoded abilitys with all these in it and works like that?*

I have no idea as i said. I just guessed ^^ And what the heck should else be XD Btw Spells is not one of the "normal" damage types. Only magic are of those two ;D
