Does anyone know the basics of diplo attack mechanics? As of now, army attack/defense mechanics are understood. GM Stormcrow posted blockade mechanics. This is NOT a thread for the STEEL/~NC~ current conflict; however, that conflict does show that the diplo mechanics need a review. ~NC~ could send over 200 diplo attacks. Yet with thousands of captured diplo's STEEL interrogation yielded ZERO results. I was attacked with 1k T2 thieves. 669 captured. All died instead of revealing info. Really? In that same attack, I lost ZERO T1 and T2 thieves. Really? Last, turn on assassinating camped commanders. This would be a game changer for peeps camping armies on adv res plots. Will any changes make things more difficult for me? possibly. But talk about the game being more exciting..absolutely. |

Defending diplos currently cannot die. Interrogation chances do seem dismal. Unlike military mechanics, it seems there is a healthy amount of random in diplo mechanics. That's most of what I know about diplo.

I don't know much about it, but as Rill said much of it seems to rely on chance -- weighted, controllable chance, but still chance. ------------- http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/a/p/157483" rel="nofollow">

Here's what I understand... Diplo combat is a comparison of attacker strength vs. defender strength with a random event generator in the mix. The modifiers are: Attacker Consulate Level helps attacker Defender Consulate Level helps defender Distance between cities - greater distance favors defender Defender city size - smaller cities notice strangers better The base attack and defense figures for diplo units are posted elsewhere in the forum. |

Random is evil, not healthy ;-) -------------
