[0.952] Curse/Masscurse - not reducing Pierce defense?

I am not sure about this, but when I cast curse or masscurse on an enemy its pierce defense does not appear to be reduced to 0. I don't see anything wrong in the XML but it just doesn't look like it is decreased when I hover over the target's defense values in its unit details. It does show the reduction in blunt and cutting in the same place...

I think the problem is in the UI, but I am not sure.

I have no idea why I cannot see specific Pierce defense when hovering over defense.

Nah man, I'm sure it's not working right. I mean, if I cast mass curse and it hits a target, that target should have 0 defense. No maybe. It's 0. So I bring up a spear unit with 11 attack. Why does it say that unit would do 2-4 damage? The only reduction to attack is defense, and defense should be 0. The target even says it is "resistant to pierce" when I hover over it, ready to click to attack. It shouldn't be resistant to anything.

This is a scrap golem. It has 10 defense. I am hovering over it with a unit with 11 pierce attack (5 members). I have cast curse on it.

 Note the "resistant to pierce" text. Why would that show up? The scrap golem has all defenses balanced equally. They should all be 0.

 

 


 

This is what it should look like: what appears when I hover over a cursed target with a 10 blunt attack unit (5 members):

I've noticed something that might be related with the armory improvements, available in fortresses, only improving blunt defense, instead of all 3.

thanks heaven, it seems I was mistaken, I have ignored bows and spears for some time playing (I usually only use spears during the start, or when having the defensive trait).

Really nice catch though.
