What does the Armor flag do?

[sekel]

Hello,

I´ve searched in every place in this site and other, but I can´t find a place that explains what does the Armor flag in units.txt does.

I read somewhere that it should divide the damage. Is that true? If so, how would the result be rounded? The tipical sum .5 and then remove the fraction?

thanks,

Felipe

A description would be in units.txt

real total hitpoints used in combat = armor * maxhp

Of course in units.txt every unit has maxhp 10, although this isnt shown in-game, only the armor stat is, so basically every unit has real hitpoints to a multiple of 10 (in the unmodded game).

If I understand it correctly, it does indeed divide the damage, but it doesn't perform any rounding (fractions are retained). Hence, armour effectively simply multiplies hitpoints.
