✨ Module Introduction
"A Point of Protection" adds customized protection values to each hero class that increase as you upgrade their armor. This tweak is intended to make the game **slightly easier**, but more importantly, it allows those supposedly indestructible **tank classes** to really find their niche!
Note that not all classes have protection from the start, and some don't get it until much later.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
