War 3 Damage Calculations

This may not be possible, but I thought I would ask to see if anyone has come across this in the MPQ.. what I am wondering, is if there is a way to change the way War 3 calculates damage (and this can be in FT only files too, I don't care ;)). I saw that MiscData.txt has entries to change the damage bonuses for the different armor and attack types, but what I am looking for is the whole equation that determines how much damage a unit does, particularly based on armor. The B.net War 3 guide says this is ((armor)*0.06)/(1+0.06*(armor)) or 2-0.94^(armor) for negative armor..

So this may not be editable, but I was just checking to see if anyone has come across that or not.. Thanks ;)

I think (I don't know exactly) that this is hard coded. Therefore it is not editable.

As of now you can only edit parts of the damage system and not the whole thing. If you know anybody beta testing for Frozen Throne please ask them to suggest that Blizz release in a later patch more stuff to be edited in the miscdata.txt in their forum.

Being able to edit the whole damage system, and the equation as you listed for the armor system would be nice.

Why a beta tester? I mean this could be posted by anyone else too!
