Question about armor
« on: April 25, 2016, 02:06:42 am »
I am confused about enemy armor values. I thought superhuman difficulty added 20% to armor values. I recently used the advisors mindprobe on a Guild Security and there was no +20% on his armor. I checked my saves and it says difficulty 4, so that is superhuman. Does Piratez not add +20% armor or am I missing something?

Isn't superhuman difficulty 5? Or are the difficulties 0 indexed so the easiest is 0 in the save file?

There's no armor boost in XCom on higher difficulties. At least, never was (Piratez mod is not using the latest nightlies). Armor is halved on the easiest difficulty, and is equal 100% on all other difficulties. Only enemy stats like Firing, Health, TUs etc. are boosted on higher difficulties.
