Structures
How to read this page: The values for each structure were obtained from the 1.02
Kane's Wrath XML files. The armor percentages indicate the percentage of damage the structure takes from each damage type. Something with 75% cannon armor takes 75% damage from a weapon that deals cannon damage.
