-This is a multiplier to armor¹. It is applied every time an object gets promoted to a higher level.

-==Example==
+This is one of the several Veteran Factors that control the bonuses given by <tt>[[VeteranAbilities]]</tt> and <tt>[[EliteAbilities]]</tt>. {{tt|VeteranArmor}} divides received damage by the specified factor for units that benefit from the STRONGER promotional bonus. Contrary to popular belief, these bonuses do ''not'' stack, meaning that a STRONGER elite bonus will '''not''' further increase the armor of a unit with a STRONGER veteran bonus.

-==¹ Theory vs. Praxis==
+'''Example:''' if the unit's {{tt|Strength}} is 1000, and each hit deals 100 base damage, it would take 16 hits to destroy the unit (assuming {{tt|VeteranArmor{{Equal}}1.5}}).
-The above table would make you believe that, when turned Elite, an Apocalypse has a thousand hitpoints more of max health than as a rookie. That is not the case.
+: '''100 / 1.5 = 66.666666. ''Decimals are dropped.'' 66 * 16 = 1056.'''
-Rules' comments on this issue are clear: <blockquote> "For armor, think of it as max strength being multiplied by the number (in reality, damage is divided by this"</blockquote>
-Meaning that, in reality, if a veteran Apo is being fired upon by a <tt>Damage=100</tt> weapon with 100% [[verses]], he does not have 1200 hitpoints and loses 100 with every hit, but in fact still has only 800 hitpoints, but only takes 66.6 damage with every hit.<br>

-The speed of death, in both cases, would be the same: 12 shots. That's why we're told to think of it as a multiplier. The difference is, for example, that it takes less time to heal 800 hitpoints than 1200 (and costs less), meaning the unit is back at full health earlier.
