That seems a bit odd. Does a natural protection 19 unit with a 20 protection armor get total protection 19+15=34, or does it scale evenly?

I had always thought it might be some sort of root-sum-square (base^2+armor^2)^.5, with exemptions for values below a certain level...

So, basically, is the scale linear or step-wise, with 4 steps (0-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30+) and major discontinuities?

Pb = base protection, intinsic, from stone skin etc
Pa = protection from armor
Pt = total protection

Pb<41, Pa<41

Pt=Pb+Pa -[Pa*Pb]/40

So a unit with intrinsic protection 10 and a total of 18 in equiment armor would have an effective armor of: 10+18 -[10*18]/40 = 28 -4.5= 23.5 rnd up = 24

Ah, thanks!

Aha! I knew there were reduced benefits when combining internal and external armor, but I was far from deducing the formula. An interesting formula - thanks for posting it!
