Some numbers to help make sense(not an exact replication of the combat system but what I believe is a close approximation)


Total defensive points 3931.076  
Total offensive points 19606  

% Damage done to the attacker =  Dpoints/Apoints = ~20%

Or is there some sort of magical hidden value that makes them -more- defensive than the obvious?  I mean 20/2 isn't all that much less effective at attack than 32/3.

There is also commander advantages, yes, but they add up to 10, or at best 15% advantage.  Nothing to sneeze at when fairly even numbers are involved, but on this circumstance I cannot see it having much impact.

Again, what makes them defensive units?  Yes, they have slightly better defense/upkeep and slightly lower attack/upkeep, but in the case of elven bows, the difference is minute.

...really?  So if they have 100 units that are exactly identical to my 500 that attack(and exactly the same attack/defense), I should expect to lose 100 units to kill them?  That's...weird.

I mean, I know that wasn't the situation, but my average trooper had a pretty similar attack value to their average unit had defense vs mine.... so it's similar.

The defensive what?  I am talking about my attack values, and their defensive values so...?

Still you did good considering you used t1 units,1:1 ration is ok in this kind of battles like Mandarins said, especially since you used only one commander.Considering their total def agains bows and your total attack 1:1 ratio sounds ok for this battle.

I'm pretty confident the defensive only comes in when you are "ahem" defending.
