Protection and Defense

Don't forget that there are diminuting returns on protection when you combine natural protection with protection from armor.

If you add an armor with 10 protection to an unit with base 2 protection, the result should be 11 protection total, not 12 at you would expect.

I think that the formula is something like (greater protection value (between natural and armor)) + (lesser protection value)/2, but it might be something more complex.

As far as I know, the formula is
ap + np - (ap*np/40)
where ap is protection from armour and np natural protection.

There are different protection values for the head and body slots, though, so you have to click the protection displayed in the unit info screen to see the proper ones. The single displayed number is some sort of weighted average.
