Can you confirm this:
So armor deflect meelee attack?
And Pierce armor deflect projectiles?
And does pierce armor penetrate dmg to the target? (I thought it works that way)

Re: Armor & Pierce armor
In most cases yes it works this way.
Alas it is not "deflecting" but reducing damage dealt by this or that type of attack.
Alas some melee units deal piercing type damage — pikes and lancers for example.
Same as some ranged units deal melee type damage — for example gunners, most siege, axe throwers.

No it does not if you mean guaranteed minimal damage dealt.poltergeist09 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 21, 2022 8:27 am And does pierce armor penetrate dmg to the target? (I thought it works that way)

Re: Armor & Pierce armor
Thanks for the explanation that helps a lot, hopefully someday we would see the unit's attack type (ex: pierce attack or blunt )
Re: Armor & Pierce armor
Can't you? Aren't there icons next to unit's attack that indicate that in AOF?

Re: Armor & Pierce armor
there should be
- a sword icon for melee (blunt) attack.
- and an arrow icon for pierce (arrow/pike etc) attack
and these icons should also appear in unit stats where you see its armor values (showing the armor is good against which attack)
you dont see these in AOF? there must be a bug than.

Re: Armor & Pierce armor
Yeah I see those, I just got confused for I thought that:
-the arrow icon is for range users only
-the sword icon is for melee users only.
But turned out that some melee deals pierce and some range deals melee type attack (blunt).

Re: Armor & Pierce armor
I just checked it out, and you're right throwers has sword icon, and some of the melee has arrow icon, thank you guys a lot.
And I suggest you update the "overview", and put it on the main screen for the new players, cause right now you have to go to, "others", "help", then "overview" and there you can only find the guide lines of the game which I think is outdated (cause there's nothing there that explains about armors or miss chance etc.), goodluck devs and thanks again
