Default Re: The Dominions 3: \"Wishlist\"

Well with helmets - the basic helmet gives a protection of 1 and no defence change. The full helmet gives a protection of 2 with a -1 defence change. Say you want to create a helmet in between. At present there is no way - you can't give something a protection of 1.5 and a defence penalty of -0.5.

This is a contrived example but still does show what I was talking about. The other example I already gave with AOW is perhaps a better example.

'Precise' I suppose is a bit of a poor choice of words though.
No, but you could have a helmet with protection of 2 and no defense change, or a helmet with a protection of 2 or 3 and -2 defense, etc. See what I'm getting at? The change you're suggesting to the system to achieve what you want is simply not worth it at the cost of the elegance and intuitive nature of the basic system.
