Congrats on getting a formula in, but not every reader has the ability to make sense out of long formulas. I would recommend you to split up the formula, like

Damage_n=max(0, attack_n-armor_n)

Damage_p=max(0, attack_p-armor_p)

Damage_b=max(0, \sum bonus_i-bonusarmor_i)

Total damage=max(1, (Damage_n+Damage_n+Damage_n)k_elev )

There is still an issue with the negative mellee armor of rams. How do we explain properly that a CKN does use the negative armor and other archers don´t, I think it requires quite some effort to represent that clearly in a formula.

I am also a fan of links in the main page, but I didn´t know which pages where ´good´ for our purpose. We are working on Armor classes in age of Empires 2, so the links should preferable also refer to aoe2 articles. I think that articles like: infantry units(aoe2), archer units(aoe2) and siege weapons(aoe2) are good articles. They are aoe2 articles and they list all units in their class, unlike the cavalry units(aoe2) page(list camels(=camel class), but does not list cav. archers).

Maybe it is good to wait if there are others who would like to join the discussion for a few days.
