unit defense modifier

[Talash]

I'm sure this is a simple question to answer, but I haven't yet been able to find out through searching the forum.

I'm using an older version of the game (1.7.12, sadly I can't upgrade) and am looking for a little basic info on how the unit defense modifier numbers work, for example what you get from doing something like:

Code: Select all

int defMod = unit->defense_modifier(terrain);

First, am I correct that the number returned is a percentage value (0-100)? Second, from some of the searching I did, it sounds like this value returned is actually the chance that a unit will be hit at that location, so a value of 20 means a 20% chance of a unit being hit. Basically, lower numbers are better, rather than higher?

Thanks. Looks like I have a little code to fix then.
