dont know, but it seems that no matter how i change that variable there isnt any difference

anyway, then how can i reduce effectively the ppl casualities?, specially in early game i find somewhat unfair and weird that i can destroy complete colonies with only one escort, maybe with...

Planet Combat Defense Modifier := -200

btw what means "-200"?

regards

It means the planet has a -200 penalty to its combat defense amount.

The individual damage types override the value in settings.txt...

From a DamageType.txt entry:
Population Amount Killed Per Damage Point := 0.25

are you sure that there is an DamageType.txt in SE4, if thats true where is? i cant find it

about the planet combat defense amount, that is for all the planet and defense bases and stations, also for ground combat?, or is only to reduce the damage done to the planet -without counting anything else-?

im clueless i thought that with the setting variables i could reduce the ppl killed, after some test it seems that it dont work..

regards

SEIV doesn't have that file, no.

The -200 doesn't reduce damage, it *increases* the planet's chance to be hit.

Sorry. Ignore my comment about damagetypes.txt - it was one of those SE:V vs SE:IV mixups.

Damage Points to Kill One Population works, but every hit will still get at least one kill.

So if you set it to 100..
A hit of 1 point will kill 1 population
A hit of 50 points will kill 1 population
A hit of 100 points will kill 1 population
A hit of 150 will kill 1 population
A hit of 200 will kill 2 population
