I originally called it 'To-Hit' but I didn't like that term either. The thing is, different terrain types provide cover which boosts Defense... but they wouldn't boost... or decrease Profile, really. Not to mention, a higher Profile sounds like a bad thing instead of good! xDI'd recommend, for terminology's sake, replacing Defense with Profile, as Defense sounds more like armoring than ability to not be hit, while Profile in a military setting is just that - the ability to not be hit, or more specifically, how hittable it is.
This is a semantic thing, though. I've played enough XCOM to understand that definition of Defense.
Wut? Like I said, it's all background stuff. In order to be complex enough to have differences between factions there's going to be a lot of variables at play!WHY DO YOU WANT TO HURT MY BRAIN?!
