Anyone want to help with the combat simulator?

[Saber Cherry]

Ok! I am now finished with all the basics - defense penalties, multi-hit weapons, armor piercing, repel attempts, regeneration, poison, fatigue effects, and so forth. What's mostly left is adding afflictions and special properites (magical, elemental resistance, ethereal, and so forth)... and adding a lot of data!=)

This is my current weapon list:


stats=new String[] {"dam=3", "att=0", "def=0", "length=4", "hands=1", "hits=1"};
put(new Weapon("Spear", stats, null));

stats=new String[] {"dam=5", "att=1", "def=-1", "length=6", "hands=2", "hits=1"};
put(new Weapon("Pike", stats, null));

stats=new String[] {"dam=10", "att=-1", "def=-1", "length=4", "hands=2", "hits=1"};
put(new Weapon("Glaive", stats, null));

stats=new String[] {"dam=10", "att=-1", "def=-1", "length=4", "hands=2", "hits=1"};
put(new Weapon("Halberd", stats, null));

stats=new String[] {"dam=9", "att=1", "def=2", "length=3", "hands=2", "hits=1"};
put(new Weapon("Great Sword", stats, null));

stats=new String[] {"dam=7", "att=0", "def=0", "length=2", "hands=1", "hits=1"};
put(new Weapon("Falchion", stats, null));

put(new Weapon("Short Sword", stats, null));

stats=new String[] {"dam=2", "att=1", "def=0", "length=0", "hands=1", "hits=1"};
put(new Weapon("Dagger", stats, null));

stats=new String[] {"dam=9", "att=0", "def=-1", "length=3", "hands=2", "hits=1"};
put(new Weapon("Maul", stats, null));

stats=new String[] {"dam=9", "att=0", "def=0", "length=3", "hands=2", "hits=1"};
put(new Weapon("Battleaxe", stats, null));

put(new Weapon("Flail", stats, null));

stats=new String[] {"dam=6", "att=1", "def=-2", "length=2", "hands=1", "hits=1"};
put(new Weapon("Morningstar", stats, null)); //Bonus against shields...

stats=new String[] {"dam=7", "att=0", "def=-1", "length=1", "hands=1", "hits=1"};

put(new Item("Full Helmet", stats, null));

stats=new String[] {"aprot=3", "def=2", "enc=1"};
put(new Item("Round Shield", stats, null));

stats=new String[] {"aprot=3", "def=4", "enc=2"};
put(new Item("Tower Shield", stats, null));

stats=new String[] {"aprot=3"};
put(new Item("Leather Cuirass", stats, null));

stats=new String[] {"aprot=4"};
put(new Item("Leather Hauberk", stats, null));

stats=new String[] {"aprot=6", "def=-1", "enc=1"};
put(new Item("Full Leather Armor", stats, null));

Any additions or corrections would be appreciated! The first release will probably be very soon.

P.S. "aprot" and "nprot" mean "Armor protection" and "Natural protection".

Note: The poison effects below are only for C'tis troops, it seems to be a variable. Not every "Venomous Fang" has Strong Poison, some has Death and some has Weak.

The same applies above for "Hoof" that is for normal cavalry hoofs, not applicable to All-Father (His horse stomps for 20 Damage) or Bull(s) (That stomp for 0 damage).

[Saber Cherry]

Oooh, thanks! Now I guess I'll have to add range and ammo fields=)

[Saber Cherry]

Ok, I added all that stuff! I'm going to write a module that spits out all that data in text format, and inputs the data in text format, so that weapons would be defined like this:

"Spear" dam=3 att=2 def=1 length=5 hits=1 hands=1
"Poison_Dagger" dam=2 att=2 def=1 length=5 hits=1 hands=1 poisondam=15
"Sleep_Vines" dam=0 att=1 def=1 length=3 hits=3 hands=1 fatiguedam=33

(all these are imaginary examples with wrong stats)

And so forth. So, don't worry, all the stuff you wrote will be used (and thanks again!), but if anyone wants to add more items and weapons, you can put it in that simpler format. I have not decided on a text format for creatures and units yet.

-Cherry

P.S. Please note that names with spaces (like "Poison Dagger") get underscores instead ("Poison_Dagger").

And as I recall, Weak Poison is 5, Strong is 15, and Death is 35. If you want to add different things with the same Dominions name, just make up new names, like "Horse Hoof" vs "Bull Hoof" or "Hoof 1" and "Hoof 2".

[ December 14, 2003, 07:29: Message edited by: Saber Cherry ]

[Saber Cherry]

Also, there are a couple things I wonder about, if anyone can clarify.

1) Can you use a lance for repel attempts, after it has been used its 1 time per battle?

2) Do multi-hit weapons hit multiple times during repel attempts?

3) How do you calculate the morale save in a repel?

4) Do multi-hit weapons cause multiple defense decreases on the opponent, or just 1?

5) Do you get a defense decrease from being hit by a repel attempt?

6) Does armor-piercing half the protection, or the protection and protection roll? In other words, when attacked by an armor-piercing attack, is the damage:

(dam+str+roll)-(prot/2+roll)
or
(dam+str+roll)-(prot+roll)/2

7) Similarly, does poison resistance (50) half the base poison, or the poison + poison roll, or final damage after subtracting the protection roll?

8) Does triple damage versus undead triple the base damage, or the (base damage + roll), or the damage that is done after subtracting the protection roll? In other words, if a weapon does "dam" damage, x3 vs undead, and a 2d6 roll is denoted "roll"... is the final damage:

(dam+str+roll)*3-(prot+roll)
or
(dam*3+str+roll)-(prot+roll)
or
((dam+str+roll)-(prot+roll))*3
