How does Commander Health calculated in terms of the battle... Example: Attacking Army: Commander: T1 Infantry (dwarves) health is 400, attack is 1000 Units: 100 infantry t1 (dwarves) defending army: Commander level 0 t1 archer (dwarves) troops: 5,000 t1 bows. (dwarves) Obviously the Defending army will win the battle. Does the additional health of the attacking commander allow him to stay in combat and do more damage than if he had the base 100 life? Is his health irrelevant in the case of defeat? I know 1 benefit of adding commander health is repetitive attacks don't take as much of a toll on them. But that is only if they are victorious. Is there any benefit to extra health in the event of defeat? ------------- http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/a/p/45534" rel="nofollow">  |

A commander's health is only relevant in case of a victory, and has no effect on the outcome of a battle. ------------- "Semantics are no protection from a 50 Megaton Thermonuclear Stormcrow."-Yggdrassil (June 21, 2011 6:48 PM) "SCROLL ya donut!" Urgorr The Old (September 1, 2011 4:08 PM) |

it would indeed be awesome if in the event of a losing battle commanders with extra health at least killed some extra troops or something. Or perhaps lost the battle but still survived? I hate to see my commanders with 500 health barely lose a battle and all kick the bucket.

The simplest equation would be something like: strength_X = (C_Health/100)(C_bonus_X) C_Health = current commander Health C_Bonus = Commander Stat for a specific attribute (defense vs cavalry for example) strength = Actual combat strength for the commander X = specific attribute. attack or defense vs infantry/spears/bows/cavalry. ------------- http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/a/p/45534" rel="nofollow"> |

Long term I intended to get them at 10 heroism, 10 best personal defense, 10 uncanny sense, 55 divisional skills (four defense + one offense), 10 forced march, 2 vitality (= 200 HP), 1 healing (= 4%), 2 force of will for a total post-graduation level 100 soon™ (= not this year). Don't make this too hard for smaller/newer players, please.

| it would be nice to change but also fun to have a variable random death factor added to more mirror real combat and also add a twist of chance to every encounter, that way a smaller weaker group will always have a very slim chance of victory against a larger foe |

So much for staying with the topic. ------------- "Semantics are no protection from a 50 Megaton Thermonuclear Stormcrow."-Yggdrassil (June 21, 2011 6:48 PM) "SCROLL ya donut!" Urgorr The Old (September 1, 2011 4:08 PM) |

I looked for an option to mark the question answered and close threat... but no such luck. Luna, i swear on the great city of Blackstone to sacrifice 13 livestock to audrey if you can find a way to implement a "mark question answered, lock thread" option. ------------- http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/a/p/45534" rel="nofollow"> |
