The following changes for difficulty need to be implemented:

  • Remove the global armor auras for difficulty settings. Armor values on individual monsters will need to be increased accordingly.
  • Consider removing difficulty names, perhaps replacing them with values indicating a percentage of hitpoints. For example, 50%, 100%, 200%, and so on.
  • Ensure that 100% plays the same as 'Extreme'.

Note some ideas in #120 that could be implemented later in regards to difficulty.

A few notes:

  • The positive armor formula adheres to the Combat - Armor Damage Reduction Multiplier (default of 0.06). However, when a unit has negative armor this value is not followed. This forces consideration of whether to allow armor to drop into negative values.

For the most part, this issue is resolved. However, some consideration still needs to be given to whether to change difficulty labels (e.g. switching Extreme to 100%). Perhaps it would be better just to switch Extreme to Normal and go from there?

share/objects: Set proper armor on air units
ce32016 
Issues: #131

Forgot to increase armor on air units. Or rather, I forgot that the game
difficulty aura applied to air units. I got mixed up because the level
bonus auras do not touch air units.

docs/changelog: Further explain difficulty changes

Issues: #131

It needs to be clear to players that Extreme's armor is what is used for
all difficulties, and that the bonus armor auras have been removed.
