Defensive Bonuses Editor Question

Post by Lothos »

"Edit Defense Bonus Data"
My understanding from the manual is that defensive bonuses for terrain are not cumulative with resource and the resource takes precedence. For example Rostov is a Marsh and has a City, for defensive purposes the Marsh is ignored and the City takes precedence. Is that correct?

"Edit Penalties/Bonus Data"
My understand from the manual is this allows you to set specific bonuses or penalties for the terrain the unit is in. Are these values cumulative with the ones from "Edit Defense Bonus Data"? So for example if I have a Soft Defense set to 1 in the "Edit Defense Bonus Data" and a Soft Defense of 2 in the "Edit Penalties/Bonus Data" then is the units soft defense increased by 3?

I am asking this because this may give me a work around to actually make Marsh and City bonuses cumulative.

Yes to both, however whether the second overrides the resource/marsh issue is a separate issue, something best tested out. Set the bonus from the Penalties/Bonus Data to the max and you'll easily spot if there's a difference.

I was going to split them resource bonuses in one and terrain bonuses in the other so they should be cumulative
