List of Bonus Updaters

Updaters come in two forms: simple and complex. Simple updaters take no parameters and are specified as strings. Complex updaters do take parameters (sometimes optional), and are specified as structs.

GROWS_WITH_LEVEL

• Type: Complex
• Parameters: valPer20, stepSize=1
• Effect: Updates val to

   ceil(valPer20 * floor(heroLevel / stepSize) / 20)

Example: The following updater will cause a bonus to grow by 6 for every 40 levels. At first level, rounding will cause the bonus to be 0.

   "updater" : {
       "parameters" : [ 6, 2 ],
       "type" : "GROWS_WITH_LEVEL"
   }

Example: The following updater will cause a bonus to grow by 3 for every 20 levels. At first level, rounding will cause the bonus to be 1.

   "updater" : {
       "parameters" : [ 3 ],
       "type" : "GROWS_WITH_LEVEL"
   }

Remarks:

• The rounding rules are designed to match the attack/defense bonus progression for heroes with creature specialties in HMM3.
• The is no point in specifying val for a bonus with a GROWS_WITH_LEVEL updater.

TIMES_HERO_LEVEL

• Type: Simple
• Effect: Updates val to

   val * heroLevel

Usage:

   "updater" : "TIMES_HERO_LEVEL"

Remark: This updater is redundant, in the sense that GROWS_WITH_LEVEL can also express the desired scaling by setting valPer20 to 20*val. It has been added for convenience.

TIMES_STACK_LEVEL

• Type: Simple
• Effect: Updates val to

   val * stackLevel

Usage:

   "updater" : "TIMES_STACK_LEVEL"

Remark: The stack level for war machines is 0.
