Because {{tt|VeteranArmor}} is applied as a divisor to damage recieved, it is typically more effectual than if it were simply a multiplier to the unit's <tt>[[Strength]]</tt>. This is because damage is only applied in solid integers; any decimals are simply knocked off.

This is one of the several Veteran Factors that control the bonuses given by VeteranAbilities and EliteAbilities. 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.

Example: if the unit's Strength is 1000, and each hit deals 100 base damage, it would take 16 hits to destroy the unit (assuming VeteranArmor=1.5).

100 / 1.5 = 66.666666. Decimals are dropped. 66 * 16 = 1056.
