Dodging is Dodging

When you think of dodging, you think of avoiding an attack entirely right? For some reason, that's not what the developers thought and instead, Dodging is a reduction in damage against attacks with no magical component. Similarly, camouflage is a reduction in damage against missile attacks. Does that make sense? It doesn't to me. This lead to the creation of this mod that replaces the Physical Resistance and/or Missile Resistance that various units get that is explained by the ability to dodge attacks, camouflage themselves and improved use of a shield with a Missile Block chance and Melee Defence improvement. This mod also changes various abilities and skills that are described as avoiding attacks entirely. The description of the Dodge and Ballistic Plating (renamed to Ultimate Defence) attributes has been changed as well to match this new way it is represented.

When a unit, ability or skill is stated to be avoiding attacks by dodging them, their Physical and Missile Resistance will be replaced with 1.5 times Missile Block chance, Physical Resistance replaced with 1/3 Melee Defence and Ward Save/Damage Resistance is replaced with 3 times Missile Block chance and 2/3 Melee Defence. Finally, the Ultimate Defence attribute is granted, allowing the unit to dodge really powerful missiles like cannonballs that a shield normally wouldn't block. Some skills are implied to only work in melee, thus, their Physical Resistance will only provide the Melee Defence bonus.

When an ability or skill is stated to be from improved use of a shield, then Missile Resistance gets replaced with 1.5 times Missile Block chance. No Ultimate Defence attribute, unlike when dodging.

When a unit, ability or skill is stated to protect against missiles by camouflaging the user, their Missile Resistance will be replaced with 1.25 times Missile Block chance and the 360 Missile Block and Ultimate Defence attributes, to represent how the foe is having a hard time seeing and aiming at the enemy they are trying to hit, no matter what side they are attacking from.
