Quoting parrottmath,
reply 120

edit: Everything offers either +50% or +25%, except natures cloak which is +20% + 10% per earth shard. So, to get 70% or less resistance, it would entail, altar armor and 4 earth shards with natures cloak (really 65%) or one of the 50% skills or cloak with no earth shards and natures cloak. So, to shoot for 70% fire resistance is really a task as the game doesn't offer much in this regard.

Was what I was thinking of when I offered my concern.

You are correct though....you would really have to work it to get the 70%.

Just feels a little cheap. I get 100% resistant in an element type because I want to be attacked by that elemental type to spend the AI's action futily. The AI however knows this and so attacks someone else instead, wasting my resistance.

To offer an idea that build upon your idea:

Instead of having a threshold value in which the AI will ignore you, wouldn't it be better as a variable? I kinda think that the percent chance that the AI would attack a target with an elemental attack would be the difference from that elemental type.

Thus, if you had 75% resistance to fire, a Fire Shrill will still have a 100 - 75 = 25% chance to attack you. If you have 100% resistance to fire, the Fire Shrill will 100 - 100 = 0% not attack with a fire attack (unless it's the absolute last thing he can do...I say this because if all your units fielded have 100% resistance, you don't want a situation where the AI freezes and does nothing...it should try melee attack or something).

This way, even if you had 90% immunity through some obscure means, there would be a small (10%) chance of still being attacked by the AI, but most likely overlooked; instead the AI looking for easier targets to pick on.

 Something to chew on...

The fire shrill instead of shooting you with fire will come up and attack you. So, the AI will not freeze, as it can always do their ranged / normal attack. There is not variable way of setting the attack. Notice that I was careful not to include any ranged attacks within the new AI update, because it would freeze the AI. I also do not have access to a random number generator and cannot produce a percentage chance they will do something or something else.

So far all of my tests have been that the AI will not use that particular skill when attacking a unit with very high resistance (as it should be, no need to waste the mana) I will later add in a much more robust AI with logical 'or' and 'and' statements, but this has to be done carefully with only the 4 basic operations, if the Boolean for the calc-wrapper doesn't do what I think it should do.

I just wanted to say that I always play with the Snaking Mod and the River Bridge mod, and I tend to forget that this isn't part of 'Vanilla' E:LH.  Both mods add a LOT of character to city building, and I very much appreciate them!

to the gazillionth power (which is still technically +1, but it sounds cool)!

Added my mod Summoner Units for LH. This brings in 4 new spawned quests for you to get powerful Summoner units. You can also build these units when you research the third book of the magi and produce these advanced mage units.

Updated the Henchmanfemale mod to include the appropriate item art definitions from the quest downloadable content. This will allow the female henchwomen to wear the ninja armor and other things. Enjoy.

Added the Armor Attributes mod. It adds very little in terms of gameplay besides a little polish on the unit design. Next is to edit units in the factions that are currently using the plate armor proficiencies and update unit designs appropriately.

After working through all of these units to update them to utilize light plate correctly, there needs to be a second run through to update it for use with the masterwork chainmail. Much of these updates will help out mostly AI designed units to give more variety for those that create custom factions. Note that in order to see these units you must create the faction when this mod is activated OR you need to add to the faction all the appropriate starting unit types into your faction.

Updated the Armor Attributes to include updates for other AI units to consider when the player chooses both light plate and masterwork chainmail.

Update the Armor Attributes to include the Wraith unit designs for the No Armor setting. Will update all other factions and remove the ability for any faction the inability to choose Armor Proficiencies whenever the faction chooses the No Armor setting.

I should mention at this point this mod is not be compatible with CoS.

Future updates may result in a change of name for this mod as I will consider all the other abilities that deal with weapons and create stock AI units and player units whenever you create custom factions that will automatically utilize these weapons. Please indicate any errors that you may encounter as I'm doing this all by hand.

Updated the Armor Attributes. Updated the Unit Designs to account for all the new prereqs and also set up for custom factions to have better AI units.

Is it possible to have an AI unit design that only appears when they have certain player abilities, or doesn't appear when certain player abilities are present?  For example, it would be possible for a Custom Ironeers faction not to have Light Plate.

That is exactly what I've done with the Armor Attributes. I've basically doubled the number of units from the core unit file setting up when particular units appear with slight variations to their armor. For example, I've given every AI design their own Wanderlust troops. So, if someone makes a wanderlust custom faction with anyone, that AI faction will now have all the Altar Armor for all of their units.

ie. you are setting positive/negative prereqs for the AI unit designs.  I hope Stardock takes these AI designs on board!

Yep. There are probably a few issues since I changed them, and couldn't test everything.

I've updated my Maul Debuff and now am quite pleased with the results. It will now only reduce attacks with positive values, if it is not positive it will not reduce it, a "new" feature I've discovered.

For those that are modders and watch this thread every so often. I've answered my question about the Boolean value calculation. Thus this opens the door for logical "and" and "or" statements within calculating damage. For example, you can create a spell that will damage the opponent only if the target has lightning attack and fire attack, with your special cold spell.

Thanks. I've known about this minor bug and the solution to the problem may be worse than the ability to rebuild the large mill. This will also apply to all other of these minor wonders.
