Combat - Damage Bonus Table (Ideas)

[AdamGriffith]

Hello,

I have these 4 damage types:
Human
Orc
Undead
Night Elf
And the 4 armour types:
Human
Orc
Undead
Night Elf

Now one damage type has to do 150% too one armour type and 50% to one and 100% to the other too.

I need ideas as too which combinations will make the most "sense".

Human beats Undead
Orc beats Human
Undead beats NE
Night Elf beats Orc

Human > Orc > Night Elf > Undead > Human

Humans have always been the ones offensive to the orcs. Also, Humans outsmart Orcs.
In the RoC campaign, the Orcs invaded the Night Elf homeland. Also, the fragile Elves can't withstand the brute force of a direct attack from an Orc.
Night Elves are pure and cleanse the corruption of the undead.
Undead always trump humans and corrupt them.

I love how Dark_Phoenix's suggestions were pretty much the exact opposite of mine.

Human and orc, night-elf and undead are having epic battles.
Human got holy magicz vs ud.
Humans are st00pider than night-elves.
Orcs are afraid of undead magicz
Orcs mash night-elves.

KK?

I think I will use yours Curo's because you have like some evidence!

However, i'm guessing this is for the 150% which should do 50%?

Much love. I was thinking that if A does 150% to B, then B should do 50% to A. A difference of 50% from the average seems pretty drastic to me though; why not 75%/125%?

Oh yeah. Im stupid!

Erm... well it's for a tower defence. I'll do some tests and then see how it goes.

If it's for a TD, it shouldn't be too bad then. Element TD uses a half/double damage table (50%/200%). But I think that your +/- 50% is more balanced, since the damage lost or gained is the same. It really depends on how much of a factor you want the armour/attack types to be.

that is true too it just depends if you want it to be an important difference a 75%/125% bonuses aren't very noticable so people wont care that much.
50/200 is major 50/150 is pretty noticable
