Defender deaths / Attacker Units 

So: 270/19 = 14.2105263

There was a slight fudge to avoid division by zero, but the stats have been updated to correct this

Thanks TC we love this stuff. ^^

One small thing tho... it does seem that the column labelling is a little confusing/incorrect perhaps.

Seems to me like "atk casualties" means "number of units lost while defending" and "def casualties" means "number of units lost while attacking something"... possibly it would make more sense if the labels were swapped over.

E.G.
Unit            ---     Atk Casualties    ---       Def Casualties
Elven Trueshot --- 1,909,333 --- 853,209
Knight --- 1,199,679 --- 1,394,386

OFC it could be that the obvious meaning of the column labels is correct although that would mean that every defensive unit (bows/spears etc.) were mostly killed attacking stuff and every offensive unit mostly came to a grisly end while taking a  defensive position.

Also a cursory glance at these stats reinforces my opinion that the combat system is in need of an overhaul... where is the balance in Orcs seeing less than 8% participation in the tournament by casualties? And the most powerful OFFENSIVE unit in the game has the highest (or second highest if the error I suggest above is correct) casualty rate while in defence... it just shows how redundant most of the defensive units in the game have become.

Edit: There's a thread in 'suggestions' that features more people wishing to see a combat overhaul and some people making suggestions for it.

Hi Creature,

Well...

Player Accounts Created by Race (all time)
Humans 50.02%
Elves  30.94%
Dwarves 10.52%
Orcs 8.52%

So it's not totally out-of-whack...!

Createure, I think the low orc casualty numbers are due partly to there being fewer orcs on the server and also to the major orc alliances (BSH, BSHx and SCH) being involved in a war that prevented them from participating in the tourney until the final days.

The fact that more "attack" troops died in defense than attack and that more "defense" troops died in attack than defense demonstrates why vets keep harping on the old saw "don't defend with cavalry."  And by the same token why it's a bad idea to attack with spears.  The attacking with spears part was likely largely unintentional, as spear units that were intended to reinforce a defensive position found that it was taken over by someone else in the interim.  I know that was my experience in nCrow and HUGcr.

Given the number of casualties inflicted by attacking cavalry vs. defending cavalry, to take one example, it's not terribly surprising that many more cav were killed while defending -- unless the surprise comes from the fact that so many use cav to defend still.

Of course "desperate times call for desperate measures" and in some cases cav is the only thing you can get to the square in time.  In that situation, seems like the prudent solution would be to leave only a minimal cav force making time on the square until reinforcements arrive; sweep with cav and reinforce with bows and spears.  This tactic was not universally adopted, however, and if all you have is cav and your cav can't get back home in time to send them out again, you might leave them on the square, as I certainly did toward the end of the tourney.

Edited to add:  Bad idea to attack with spears unless you're an orc with thousands of troops, and I'm not qualified to comment on that tactic, since I haven't seen it used often enough to gauge its effectiveness.  I've heard it can work though.

Hey Rill ye I take ur point about teh Orcs (as SC pointed out above aswell).

Regarding your other theory regarding units dieing in attack or defence: Indeed I know by now that you consider it your duty to disagree with every post I ever make on here - and yes I did consider your point already when I was writing that post but frankly it seems considerably more likely to me that the labelling in the columns is simply wrong - there is such a unilateral reversal in 'atk casualty' and 'def casualy' between the offensive and defensive units...

Yes I know. Spears (for example) would have died hard while accidentally attacking a position (other than reinforcing) but I can't believe that this occurred in a ratio of more than 3:1 (with pikemen for example - altho much higher ratio with some other defensive units).


Posted By: Rill
Date Posted: 26 Mar 2012 at 03:38
Createure, I have to disagree with considering it my duty to disagree with every post you make.  But perhaps that only reinforces your point.

Wink

I probably shouldn't have sounded so definitive on my attack vs. defense thing.  I was putting forth an alternative theory to explain the numbers; I don't know whether your explanation or mine is correct.  Both are plausible.

Greetings!

Could we get statistical data on population regarding race please. Accounts created might be very misleading. 

A small % of dwarfs and even smaller of orcs. If those races would be more competitive in military sense, I'm sure those % would be different (humans have best attacking unit and elves best defending unit).

I can't speak for Orcs, having never played one, but Dwarves are really under-appreciated in Illy. The Stalwart is the best unit for clearing forest, mountain, and building squares (which happen to be where a large amount of combat seems to occur). The Dwarves also have the best siege engines and the best thieves. For those three reasons, they are a strong race to play...

If I could be so proud to say that I know Orcs better than pretty much anyone in Illy...

Armies of Specialist units from ANY of the other races will invariably thrash 7 kinds of hurt to a defending army of the Orc spears on pretty much any terrain when they are matched against each other in equal gold-upkeep value armies.

When instead you match these armies by equal training/production time instead of gold-upkeep then every other race will now pummel the Orc even more soundly...

Orcs have no useful diplomatic unit specialists and no other perks [such as the elf fast units, or their +5% mana+spellrange or the human fast T2 range units or the Dwarf seige specialisation]...

I'd say that pretty much explains why Orcs have 8% presence only... IMO the only people who pick Orc are people who don't understand the disadvantages of the Orc units/race or people who are happy to put themselves at a tactical disadvantage for a love the the green-skins from a role-play point of view or whatever.

Maybe also people who like a real challenge?  I can imagine the difficulty of playing an orc would be interesting to some, and I applaud those who play orcs well, because it is more difficult.  I'm always intrigued when I see Createure's battle reports -- it's interesting to see how you use your troops.

Ye Rill I guess you  are right.

I'm always kinda wary about coming across as moaning too much though I'll give it a rest now... people who know me will know I've been saying the same thing for pretty much 2 years straight now... doesn't mean i'm about to give up on the green-skins though. ^^

Createure, I dont have your kind of knowledge about orcs, but I believe orcs have their tactical advantages as well. Orc cavalry is has the same stats as humans, but for 10% lesser attack. Orc infantry is the second strongest after stalwarts. Orc pikes are loads better than any other pikes in the game.

Armies of Specialist units from ANY of the other races will invariably thrash 7 kinds of hurt to a defending army of the Orc spears on pretty much any terrain when they are matched against each other in equal gold-upkeep value armies, because attack is more powerful than defense. It takes 7 Kobolds to kill an attacking knight - It takes only two and a fraction kobolds to kill a defending knight. (9x attack vs 20 defense)

Orc pikes are so damn cheap, you could build dozens of thousands of spears over months and throw at your enemy without hesitation - it takes time and only time to rebuild them - hardly any valuable resources. 

Talking of build times, there are vast regions on the map where every surrounding tile has +3% spear unit production bonus. (deserts and the frozen north in particular). Unlike in the case of other races, a love for the greenskins from a role play point of view pays well for an orc. 

What is the advantage for a dwarf to settle in mountains? Marching against an siege camp of trueshots on a nearby mountain is the worst possible scenario I can think of for a stalwart. What really is the advantage for elves in woods? Humans love plains obviously because of the 'money thing', but other than that?

Nice perspectives Kumo. I have never played a dwarf and I covet Stalwarts. They are almost as strong as cavalry. But i feel it takes a lot of tactics to play well with a dwarf. For one, infantry is poorly pitted against archers on any terrain, while they do not have any overwhelming advantage over pikes (similar to what cavalry has against archers). Moreover, the best unit to break pike defence is archers, not infantry. Pikeman has very low defence against archers. 

Dwarves have the best siege, but orcs and elves are still better at defending the camp. The greatest disadvantage of dwarves is perhaps their poor cavalry. Cavalry is the king in the game, and the default option when you need to produce more firepower in a short time. It takes a lot of ingenuity to play a dwarf well, though I have no doubt the dwarves in Illy certainly have that.

The only race I think has a real edge over the rest are the elves. They are just too good at cavalry and archers, and even better at magic - with no flip sides at all. (a little less carrying capacity for thieves and a perhaps heavy penalty for saboteurs?).

Longbows have a defense of 32 against infantry while 20 against cavalry - same line for crossbowmen and death dealers. Trueshots have a defense of 34 against swords and 25 against cavalry. Infantry is not a great choice over cavalry to attack archers.

Elves have one huge disadvantage: economy-crushing dependence on chainmail.  That's why it's worth so much more than everything else on the market other than saddles (upon which everyone is equally dependent and constrained).

I still think these stats are improperly displayed and/or there was some kind of error in recalling them.

Harmless?

Atk Casualties 1,549,384

Def Casualties 498,433

I can promise you that H? did not take 3 times as many casualties in offence than defence throughout the tournament.  I still think something is wrong with this... possibly the labelling of the column headings.

If you compare this against Anjire's stats:
Defense Alliance  Attack Casaulties   Defense Casaulties 
Harmless? [H?]  Total              1,188,240                  1,549,384

Indeed it does seem like the defence casualties are the wrong way round... and idk what went wrong with attack casualties.

For VIC according to TC: Att Casualties: 1,145,121 Def Casualties: 859,633
For VIC according to Anjire: Att Casualties: 1,025,750 Def Casualties: 1,145,121

Seems pretty much the same as the H? error.... and all the other alliance stats seem to have the same error.

For me it seems clear that Anjire's stats are correct - he pulled those directly from the displayed in-tournament battle lists and people were (mostly) happy that those were all dipslaying correctly.

I imagine that all the other stats TC put up that couldn't be pulled in-game also have the same att/def mixup and possible error in att casualties.

Creat,

I saw that GMs had other report errors.  So perhaps the in-trouney reports had errors while the new stats from TC are freshly generated from the source data.  Just a theory.

Point taken... but nobody was complaining about the ingame battle reports - and pretty much everyone checked those as they were being made.

Also it doesn't explain how I know for a fact that H? did not take three times more casualties in offence than defence and the other discrepencies that I pointed out earlier in the thread.

The numbers are correct, however the implications by the labels may be incorrect e.g. "def casualties" vs "casualties caused while in defense" - will double check.

Yes, he is the one who's stats i was referring to. He just confirmed what i was asking, about the labels. His numbers don't show more attacker casualties. The way it reads to me, there were more defender casualties taken by your alliance. So, i guess i am confused about what it is that you are confused about. Or am i confused about being confused? 
But seriously...."Defense Casaulties" (as TC spells it) does not mean the casualties that H? inflicted on defending units, it means the number of defending units H? lost. Same with the "Attack Casualties"
Had he labeled it Defender/ Attacker Casualties, it might have made more sense....maybe?

So it would mean, using Peace as an example....
Attack Casualties 1,574,385 (units lost  during attacks on flags)
Defense Casualties 851,947 (units lost defending flags)

I always love the occasional bright spark- or quite a few of them, as the case may be- who decides it's a good idea to use siege engines to defend. I mean, really, have you really got so little troops you're willing to use something that can move at 6 sq/h (human battering ram under commander with Maxed Forced March- couldn't say about other races, but would say that elves would be a bit quicker, dwarves slower and orcs about the same), is the most expensive unit to build and adds nothing to a defence. I know you might want to get rid of them but really, it's less time-consuming (and commander consuming) to just disband them.
As for the orcs- I think you're being a bit harsh on them, Creat. I have played all 4 races, although humans for longest (I just love cav) and I think that the pure cheapness of a Kobold Cohort as well as it's relatively powerful strength compared to other units is pretty telling. I think that a 20k Orc city (probably would have to be 7 food square, but we'll skate over that), with a Lvl 20 spearmans billet, with the right taxes could probably hold 50k Kobold Cohorts (in minus gold p/h, but you could maintain that rate for a while IMO)- which is a force not to be sniffed at by any standard.

A city of 20K size at 70% tax should be able to hold 100,000 Kobolds, with two spearmen's billet, with positive gold production. But fortunately we don't see such bands around because it takes a lot of time to train that many number of units.

Hm 100K kobolds... would take to train 192 days with level 20 barracks and 200% sov bonus. It is possible, but kobolds have a nasty habit of dying in large numbers too. Especially because they are often used as cannon fodders...

The main problem is that it takes massively less time (like weeks/months less) to train 33k Trueshots or 33k Stalwarts or 25% T2 cavs than 100k kobolds... which is why spears are basically redundant for anything who takes part in tournaments and actually uses their army... sure if you never lose troops then you can train a strong spear army. Problem is we generally all do use troops.

Troop upkeep should more accurately reflect their training time... if it did then we would see a more even spread of unit use. As things are we will continue to see that the majority of all troops trained+used by all the races will be T2 bows and T2 cavs - as can clearly be seen from the tourny stats.

I totally agree. Training times should reflect unit gold upkeep.

orcs and elves have T1 units they can train without costing armor/saddles. I'd favour training time reflecting gold upkeep, only if the unit costs are made same across all races.

It makes no sense for humans to spend 4 leather armor to train 4 T1 pikes instead of spending two saddles to make one knight, even if the training time is decreased. But even now, orcs have good reason to make kobolds.

i still just would like to know the percent of spears dead that are mine lol

Orc is cool, dwarf is cool, elf is cool, human is cool
we all cool, esp when you maximize! (anyone else get the Beastwars reference?)

anyway, i agree with Createure

I wish, wish so badly that the mods would have made the %bonus's for commander's race based and not just unit based

at mo I rool with a wolfrider (t1 cav) and Clan Gaurdsman (t2 spearman)
why? cause i want to be able to attack and defend with my spears the best i can against what they are know for killing...Horses 

I just need to be more strict on my self and kill off other commanders maybe...idk, and just say to myself, "spears only"...? maybe a mod could actually make a guide and help us out a bit, i mean really, i dont play games to do the math, i want the math done for me and spelled out in plain english please

all the extra research i had into this game is redic, i want in game guide and better race bonus's and factions last year

but at same time, i know i dont do 100% everything that i could/should be with the knowledge i have, but the time it takes and compared to the time i had put in before updates, just makes me take my time...lol and by that i mean, get it done, but slowly, esp since i dont trust the game to not change 150% again...like it already did, multiple times...(how many orc pics and town pics have we gone through? pretty sure people not here for graphics, just an fyi)

and still though, i know i dont know everything and maybe everything is equal and has been thought of, maybe i just need to find my races "secret" and then the scrawny wolf can be made in barracks, idk, but i do know that i love throwing my spears at walls and/or making a wall of spears and just watching the death toll rise as the troops fall like dominoes 

I do love you guys (all of you, from GM and Mods, to all those who played back when i still had a nub shield, to the new guy that i randomly donate 250k gold to) was just doing what i do best which is speak my mind and question things

i need structure!!!!!!

The problem is bigger for elves tbh... they already have a T1 unit that's at least twice as powerful as the kobold with about the same production time but twice the unit upkeep... elves can already train an army twice as strong as Orcs in the same time frame for the same resource costs.

For example. Compare these 2 'no leather' specialist armies - built with the same gold upkeep:

50k sentinels would take 3.73 months to train with a 200% production bonus.

100k kobolds would take 6.22 months to train with a 200% production bonus.

Total offense of sentinel army: 1,000,000 Total offense of kobold army: 900,000

Total average defense of sentinel army: 1,075,000 Total average defense of kobold army: 1,075,000

Pretty similar - although sentinels clearly have the edge, as well as performing better on more terrain. And don't forget that the kobold army has twice as high production costs as the sentinel army.

----------------------------------

Now compare these armies trained in the same time-frame: 3.73 months

50k sentinels would take 3.73 months to train with a 200% production bonus.

60k kobolds would take 3.73 months to train with a 200% production bonus.

Total offense of sentinel army: 1,000,000 Total offense of kobold army: 540,000

Total average defense of sentinel army: 1,075,000 Total average defense of kobold army: 645,000

It does not take a genius to see why Orcs are an unpopular choice.

compared with elves, orcs are disadvantaged. but they are still better off than the other two races.

50k archers/slingers or 60K militia/yeomen will take exactly the same amount of time, but with an additional cost of 50K/60K leather armour and 10-50% lower values for different stats.

Elves do have certain advantages, folks, but do not lose sight of the fact that Knights rule the battlefield (offense > defense) and therefore Humans have the net greatest advantage in the game...

Creature, why are you only talking Kobold?

I can understand Clan Guardsman are way slower, and give less Spear/bow/sord def per gold unkeep...

But Clans Guardsman, even if more expensive in adv.res (mostly cause of 2 spears... but if you specialize in CG production and miss some, they are cheap to buy, and fmates who have too much can give you some), are completing their main Cav killers aim way better! Already, they give much more def power/gold against Cav... but much more important, they give you twice (!!) more def power against Cav per unity of time production... and that is really what you reasearch when you produce too much gold to fill your town with units in a minimum time.

You must have your own tactics and have already thought deeply of that... but in the general overview of an alliance, an Orc who only specialise in cannon meet for against Cavs can be much demanded (meaning only Clan Guardsman production with T1 Cav come for div bonus against cav). The rest of the defense (againt Spear, bows and Infantry) can be handled by the rest of your alliance, and mostly Elves with their trueshots which are good in everything but Cav's def...

Though, i agree the cheapness of Kobold my let room for the Orc who build them, to be able to build other units as well, as T2 cavs, and/or to specialize his cities in something else, like diplomatic units for exemple... knowing how hard it is to build knights, i imagine the pleasure it would be to focus on building cheap units and have lots of rooms to specialize on something new

Kumomoto, on a long run fight, a maxed Elf can be better than a maxed human if the fights occur on mountains: Trueshots are way cheaper than Knights, take less time to train... and you can train them in each city at the same time... while Knights can't be trained in each city simutaneously, or the player could fast run out of saddles (unless he has 100% sov in each city for saddles -admitting you buy the missing livestock on market, and that would become soon extremely gold consumming).

What i mean, is that if after a great battle (like in tourney) both of these Maxed players lost all of their units, and had to rebuild fast for next fight, the Elf one would rebuild faster and with pretty much ease, and, in my opinion, would pregressively catch up and then win on the Human one, mostly if their fights are made on Large hills/mountains.

Kumomoto, on a long run fight, a maxed Elf can be better than a maxed human if the fights occur on mountains: Trueshots are way cheaper than Knights, take less time to train... and you can train them in each city at the same time... while Knights can't be trained in each city simutaneously, or the player could fast run out of saddles (unless he has 100% sov in each city for saddles -admitting you buy the missing livestock on market, and that would become soon extremely gold consumming).

What i mean, is that if after a great battle (like in tourney) both of these Maxed players lost all of their units, and had to rebuild fast for next fight, the Elf one would rebuild faster and with pretty much ease, and, in my opinion, would pregressively catch up and then win on the Human one, mostly if their fights are made on Large hills/mountains.


Given, Mandarin, but that's if the war was fought mostly on mountains. Knights attacking trueshots on plains will kill many times their casualty numbers meaning they don't need to build anywhere near the same numbers as the Elf... Which is why I love Illy. There are many different strategies and tactics to adopt and predict in one's competition and he who does it best, wins...

Indeed, there is room for much strategies and planification, depending on many factors. As well, there is not 1 best way to do but various "best" ways, depending and your objectives in the game, in general, that's also why i love Illy :)

And your "love" + my "love" is what makes this game a love fest, I presume! ;)

id est. let noone ever say there aren't multiple levels of strategy and tactics in this game that are also all tangled up with that old silly thing, human nature (diplomacy)... Wow... we sound like an MMO!

I wish I would have thought out loud that the developers would have provided a tournament combat statistics sheet so that I wouldn't end up hand counting the [TLR™] K/D every day.

Edit:

I still have the google doc of my countings of that tourney.. 
Cry

Good tourney though.
