Counter attacks
(Endru collected it - thanks!)
How currently counter attack calculations work:
Counter is based around two parts - applying bonuses and counter damage divider.
Crucial part is boolean value (possible to be changed in initialization.json) IS_BONUS_NEGLECTS_EACH_OTHER
Normally it is false, but in older times game was working this way (and AoF still uses it at the time of writing).
Counter damage is normally calculated using 50% of normal attack and applies damage bonuses.
Damage bonuses are NOT applied on counter damage in four cases:
- IS_BONUS_NEGLECTS_EACH_OTHER=true AND attacker has any bonus damage against defender
- defender has ATTACK_COUNTER_NO_BONUS_VS_BONUS spec AND attacker has any bonus damage against defender
- defender has ATTACK_COUNTER_NO_BONUS spec
- attacker has ATTACK_NO_COUNTER_BONUS_AGAINST_ME spec
There is also a case of changing attack on counter damage calculation
- it is 50% (divided by 2, commonly rounded down) normally
- becomes 100% (no decrease) in 3 cases:
- defender has ATTACK_FULL_COUNTER spec
- defender has ATTACK_FULL_COUNTER_IF_BONUS spec AND any bonus damage against attacker
- IS_BONUS_NEGLECTS_EACH_OTHER=true AND defender has any bonus damage against attacker UNLESS
-defender has any bonus damage against attacker
-defender has ATTACK_COUNTER_NO_BONUS spec
-attacker has ATTACK_NO_COUNTER_BONUS_AGAINST_ME spec
-previous value is halved if attacker has ATTACK_COUNTER_QUARTERED_AGAINST_ME spec (divider is doubled)
-previous value is halved if defender has ATTACK_COUNTER_QUARTERED spec (divider is doubled)
-previous value is doubled if defender has ATTACK_COUNTER_DOUBLE spec (divider is halved)
