Malgré les noms de sorts hauts en couleur, les dégâts dans Dungeon Settlers sont binaires : tout est soit Physique soit Magique. Weapons come in one-handed types that can carry a shield and two-handed types that block the shield slot.
En un coup d'œil
Types de dégâts
A "water" spell simply deals Magic damage. Ice- and frost-flavored abilities are Water Magic flavor, not a separate damage type.
One-handed and two-handed weapons
Two-handed weapons occupy both hands and block the shield/off-hand slot. The 6 of them are:
- Arc
- Bâton de feu
- Grande épée
- Bâton de nature
- Lance
- Bâton d'eau
One-handed weapons (Blunt, Sword) can pair with a shield for sword-and-board play.
ItemSubTypeExtension.IsTwoHanded check in DS_B.0.4.23 (build 25284551) flags exactly Bow, Fire Staff, Greatsword, Nature Staff, Spear, Water Staff. Dagger and Axe count as one-handed there, but the build ships no Dagger or Axe item.Combat constants
A few combat constants worth knowing:
- Attacks split between head and body hit locations, about 30% head and 70% body.
- A successful garde cuts incoming damage by about 50%.
- A critical hit deals 1.5x damage.
Encerclement
Les données du jeu définissent aussi une constante d' encerclement constant, a bonus per unit surrounding a target:
GAMESYSTEM_Combat_StrategyRule_Encirclement_BonusHitRateis a +10% de bonus à la probabilité de toucherGAMESYSTEM_Combat_StrategyRule_Encirclement_BonusCriticalRateis a +5% de bonus à la chance de critique
If the developers activate it, it would apply symétriquement from the first surrounding unit. The bonus would work for and against you, since combat resolution is faction-agnostic.
Gravures
Vous pouvez tout de même donner à une unité une arme ou une école de magie que son historique n'accorde pas, en utilisant un arbre de compétences inscription. That is how a caster can pick up, say, Water Magic.
Training a tree is separate from the gear a unit can physically hold at once. An inscription can't let a unit hold a two-handed staff and a shield simultaneously.
