G4 Creation resistance

[Hume]

Only listed physical, energy, and fire resistances, because they are a lot more important than other ones. (For some version, where drayks, drakons and ur-drakons does physical damage, even fire resistance is not so important.

 

Ur-drakon is the most overpowered creation. They not only have a large damage boost over drakon, the best ancillary effect - slow, but also the best resistance - a 70 energy resistance over drakons.

Just to make sure I understand, the numbers are listed in order of Physical, Energy, Fire?

Correct

[Hume]

This table works for Geneforge 5 too.

The only important difference is Tralls and Shock Tralls have 30 40 40. i.e. they have 0 energy resistance in GF4, improved to 40% in GF5

[Hyena of Ice]

Another important thing not mentioned here-- the "mindless" (and I assume, undead) creature category have immunity to mental effects.

 

Creatures in the mindless and undead category include:

 

--pylons

--Shades

--Spinecores

--Turrets

 

Strangely, according to the script in G3, the Searing Artilia is also mindless.

 

If you load up the text in notepad and look at the creature type, type 3 is mindless, and type 5 (G4 and 5 only) is undead.

Also note that only the creation type can be affected by Discipline wands. Type 2 (human) and type 0 (animal/augmented animal) cannot be affected.

Augmented animals include:

--crawlers

--rats

--worms

 

I have no idea if the human creature type (2) has any special properties.A

Now looking at G4, along with all the resistances (in the following order: stun/fire/cold/energy/poison/acid/mind-affect. They're color-coded for easy reading, and I tried to make the colors distinctive but not too eye-biting.)

 

If looking for a specific creature, then just Ctrl + F

Good job.

What about physical resistance, is it the same as stun resistance, not listed, or the stun resistance is actually physical?

[Slawbug]

The stun resistance listed looks like it's actually physical resistance. The actual order of resistance types in G4 files is

 

Physical

Magic

Fire

Discipline (resists are handled exclusively through species type though)

Poison

Acid

Ice

Mental

 

I don't think there is any separate stun resistance stat.

[Hyena of Ice]

That doesn't make any sense. What is the "Natural Armor" stat, then?

 

Edit: I also plan to add some other stuff to the stats later, namely Natural Armor, regen rate, Parry%, and nimbleness.

[Slawbug]

The natural armor stat is an artifact of previous games where it was actually used. You'll notice that all of those natural armor lines are commented out! I don't remember if it was taken out in G4 or G3, and I don't know if it was actually removed from the codebase or simply commented out in the defs, but it does seem to behave the same way as resistances 0, as far as I can tell.

Natural armor works in G1 and G2, x natural armor reduce all damage taken by dx (a dice from 1 to x). Then later geneforges there are different types of damage, and armor reduction is percentage based, so natural armor is no longer used.

[Slawbug]

Oh, wow. So it was the old, Exile-style of armor! Crazy. I didn't realize even G1 dealt in that at all.
