Description:
Overview

Remember how terrifying an AoW 3 Phantasm Warrior was when you only had physical damage? Do you also remember how quickly it went down when you suddenly had a bit of fairy Fire? This is a mod to make Resistances and weaknesses slightly more dramatic, letting you smite undead that are otherwise almost completely Blight Resistant and tough.

List of Unit Type Resistance Changes

This mod will change the resistances for the following Unit Types:

Accursed fiend

+4 Fire Resistance, +4 Frost Resistance, -6 Lightning Resistance
Thriving in both cold and heat, their existance shatters more easily when pierced by the Astral.

Celestial

+6 Spirit Resistance, -6 Blight Resistance, -4 Frost Resistance
Heavenly beings with fortitude of soul, only the chill of death give them pause.

Construct

+6 Blight Resistance, +6 Spirit Resistance, -8 Lightning Resistance
Steel frames without a soul are largely unaffected by toxicity or attacks against their spirit, but electricity heavily disrupts the mana crystals powering their engines.

Ethereal

+8 Defense, -2 Resistance, -4 Lightning Resistance, -4 Status Resistance
In line with them being astral beings, physical attacks affect them little but their existance is susceptible to magic attacks. Although they don’t bleed, the effects that do touch them do so easier.

Elemental

No change
All with strengths and weaknesses of their own kind, the elementals as such do not have a unifying strength or weakness.

Fey

+3/3/3 Lightning/Frost/Fire Resistance, -2 Blight Resistance
These friends of nature care little for the elements, but are weak to entropy.

Infernal Fiend

+8 Fire Resistance, -6 Spirit Resistance, -4 Frost Resistance
Born in the inferno, fires mean little to them but the holy purges their chaotic souls.

Plant

+2 Defense, +4 Lightning Resistance, +2 Blight, -6 Fire Resistance
Grounded beings springing forth where decay prospers, they only fear fire.

Umbral demon

-2 Spirit Resistance, -2 Fire Resistance
These haven’t been touched, they still prefer darkness around them, although light and fire aren’t banes of their existence.

Undead

+8 Blight Resistance, +2 Frost Resistance, -6 Spirit Resistance, -4 Fire Resistance, -2 Defense Resistance, +20 HP
Frail physical bodies take more damage but has more to go through. Blight doesn’t mean much to them.

Other

Decay does 2 Physical, 1 Blight damage per turn and stack
First, in order to prevent Decaying Zombies who are now almost immune to Blight not falling apart at all, this needed a change. I personally see it fitting that Decay does Physical and Blight damage, giving it a more Entropic feel.

Compatibility

This mod only changes attributes related to forms in the UnitTypes_Definitions, as well as Decay in SharedModifiers_UnitProperties .rpk’s. Make sure to put it below any other mods affecting these numbers and you should be good.
