Maybe something like weather can be implemented into the game. It could make this game a bit more interesting. For instance, wind blowing in a certain direction can effect the distance of arrows. Fog can limit your visibility, lightning can kill a few hundred of your soldiers etc. Weather could also effect building times and troops movement speed. (Chances of all this happening if implemented will be extremely rare)

It wouldn't have to stop the electricity. It would just have to provide enough resistance that the electricity would travel through the armor, rather than through the person wearing it.
In other words, as long as it's easier for the lightning to travel through the armor than through the padding, the swordsman is safe. (Well, relatively safe. The padding would still catch fire from the heat...  ) |

True, however heat would radiate out away from the person into the colder air as heat travels to where it is cold.(I know this to be fact because I have study HVAC&R repair.)granted the swordsman would have burns and again like I said it would depend greatly on what he used for padding if he used linen and the buckwheat then hes toast, however if he padded himself with wool and the crushed walnut shells then he'd escape with 1st-2nd degree burns rare third degree. Which with 1st degree burns he'll still fight with 2nd degree burns he'd be slower and limited in movement, if lighting did strike 1 swordsman in a group the lighting would jump from swordsman to swordsman in a group which if utilized could make them god awful if they timed it right or had a strike of luck lol for any enemy soldiers caught between the swordsman would be fried. Which could back fire as onto your own troops with a strike of bad luck lol.

It seems I've been thoroughly outgeeked there...
I guess that just leaves the question of what logic should be used for in-game purposes to make it realistic. I'd assume it would look something like this (or somewhere within a few hundred miles, at least): [code]Randomize the value of a boolean variable If the value of the boolean variable is true: -Assign a random number between 1 and 3 to an integer variable -Do the following until the integer variable reaches 0: --Randomly select a non-hero soldier from either army and kill it --Subtract 1 from the integer variable If the value of the boolean variable is false: -Do nothing [/code] (As you can tell, statistical probabilities aren't my strong point...  ) |

lol Well Tesla aside I am sure even back in 1100ad they ascertain that if I get struck or my soldiers get struck by this lightening past experience would tell me and my troops hopefully that this armor plus this padding equal death but this padding and armor equal a living soldier I don't think much science is need more on the lines of common sense lol. Also while they were technologically inferior to us of today they were however very resourceful in figuring things out and making things work, if they weren't we wouldn't be here. Nor would we be as technically advanced as we are now. Also I am sure they figured it out to some extent due to the stories of Thor the God of Thunder. While not likely an actual god, but possibly a man who figured out the whole electricity deal and utilized it in warfare. Now I am not sure about the whole accuracy of that, but as a person who also dabbled in Armor and weapon crafting with a forge it is possible to recreate Thor's Hammer.
Note: That is using materials they had available to at that time. On another note I could also recreate the Arc of the Covenant described in the in the bible using electricity as well. Which if the Baghdad battery design actually existed back in the time of the Pharaohs. |
