Blunt vs Impact damage?

Post by jmosher »

Could someone explain why we have both blunt and impact damage in the game? I am trying to wrap my mind around the distinction and just can't. Is there some subtle balance issue between (say) a Pillager's net and a Troll's club? If so, could we change "blunt" to "tangle" to make a more obvious semantic difference? If there is no strong reason to have different resistances, could we please replace "blunt" with "impact"?

There is no 'blunt' damage type in the game, only 'impact'.

A couple of units (Dwarvish Berserker, Yeti), mistakenly listed resistance against this mythical 'blunt' damage type in their files; I have corrected this.
