Thanks for the feedback. I already had to employ a really weird hack to make the Dom3Wiki work with the database extension again, it seems that there's some PHP bug that is causing this. I'll revert to an earlier version.

I ve browsed through the thread and do a search with the key word "protection" here, but could not find anything just yet... reason is this:

When I browse units descriptions in the wiki for the most part I find the protetcion value to always be much less than the actual one we see in game.

I'd presume the protetcion shown in the wiki is the basic one, without taking into account the armor of the unit?

Yes, the values being displayed in the Wiki pages are base values without factoring in the modifiers through armors and weapons.

Cool, thanks. I also guess that there are technical difficulties in the database or the wiki that prevent showing the in game actual displayed protection instead then?

The protection formula in the latest DB should work correctly, or at least give a ballpark figure for what the right number is.

The technical issues are that the armor is being stored as armor values for its parts in the data and I was too lazy to find out the correct formula to calculate the protection value that the game displays, especially how it behaves if a unit is wearing more than one piece of armor at the same time. I do agree that the displayed information in the statboxes in the Wiki is very lacking regarding this and the corresponding encumbrance values.

The Dom3Wiki may be unavailable for a brief or even longer period of time at the end of the month as I will no longer have the office that I had at college. I'll try to find alternate hosting options and in the worst case, will try to have it running at home.

Don't worry, it'll be back. I'm aiming to have it back online this week.

I have a free, yet not completely craptastic hosting to offer, if you're interested?
