In Red Alert
This is the multiplier to damage taken by TechnoTypes belonging to this country. Higher values (i.e. greater than 1.0) result in greater damage dealt per shot against TechnoTypes belonging to this country. Lower values (i.e. less than 1.0) result in less damage dealt per shot to TechnoTypes belonging to this country.
In Tiberian Sun
Damage dealt to all TechnoTypes owned by this House is divided by this value.
Country Armor Modifiers in Red Alert 2
Though obsolete in Red Alert 2, several other flags allow for even better control over Country armor modifiers:
For [Powerups]
Flag: | Armor |
File(s): | rules(md).ini |
Values: | X,Y,Z,S (For an explanation of this flag's parameters, see [Powerups]) |
Default: | unknown |
Applicable to: | Powerups |
Values for S are Floating point values: Any decimal number (clearer range should be added in Template:Values).
If the unit collecting this powerup crate already has upgraded armor, the crate will give the effect defined by the Money powerup. Otherwise, all units within CrateRadius cells from this powerup crate gain upgraded armor if they haven't already.
In Red Alert
Strength of units with upgraded armor is multiplied by S.
In Tiberian Sun
Damage dealt to units with upgraded armor is multiplied by S. Upgraded units also get an alternate selection box if S is between 0.0 and 1.0.
Fun Fact: The following code is from unmodded Tiberian Sun:
Armor=33,ARMOR,2.0
This means that the armor powerup is actually detrimental, as it causes units to take twice as much damage. A value of 0.5 would yield the intended effect of halving damage received.
In Red Alert 2
Damage dealt to units with upgraded armor is divided by S.
For TechnoTypes

File(s): | rules(md).ini |

Default: | none |
Applicable to: | TechnoTypes:
AircraftTypes, BuildingTypes, InfantryTypes and VehicleTypes |
