Default Re: Ward cumulativity

I also want to comment further on that matter that I think that attaining at most 99% resistance through stacking spells and items is much more in accordance with the open-ended die rolls used throughout dom2: 99% makes a unit almost immune, but there still is a chance of a high open-ended roll to score, and it would distinguish units with a native 100% immunity from troops boosted by mere items and spells (which should never give full 100% resistance,imho). (A realisic value for a high-end stacking would be something like 75%*50%*50%=93,75% just to have some example numbers.)

With the second model, debuffing spells which give susceptibility as proposed in the Wishlist thread by deccan (and in this forum somewhere else by someone else quite sometime before), would thus be a good possibility without removing innate 100% immunities, which also makes sense in my opinion: For example, you might reduce or remove an AirQueens FireResistance given to her my a mere magical ring with a hypothetical debuff-spell, but you cannot make here vulnerable to lightning, since this is her very essence...
