Author | Exact formula for attack/defense? |
Does anyone know the exact formula for how attack/defense work?
I believe in heroes of might and magic (game similar to this) it was something like Damage = BaseDamage*(1+(.03(AttackofAttacker-DefenseofDefender)))
Does that sound about right? 3% increase of damage per point of attack above defenders defense? And 3% less damage per point of defense above attack? |
Attack and defense parameters influence damage dealt (and taken). The exact formula for physical damage is:
-IF Attacker's attack>= Defenders' defense:
D=Rnd(min,max)*N*(1-0.03*M)*[1+0.05(Attack-Defense)]
-IF attack<defense:
D=Rnd(min,max)*N*(1-0.03M)/[1+0.05(Defense-Attack)]
D-damage
Rnd(min,max)-random integer of the min-max damage interval
N-number of creatures in stack
M-mutual faction skill |
"M-mutual faction skill"
Does that mean if I have a 5 skill in Knight and am fighting a Knight I do 15% less damage? That would indicate that switching factions can drastically hurt you as you'll do less damage to those factions you used to be a part of... or am I misunderstanding it's meaning?
And thanks for the quick response! It's greatly appreciated. |

you are right |
"damage dealt to you by representatives of this very faction - every skill level decreases the damage dealt by that faction to you by 3%"
I found this in the help, this indicates that having skill for another faction actually reduces the damage you TAKE from that faction and doesn't reduce the damage you CAUSE to that faction. Can anyone confirm one way or another? |

You're misunderstanding. Rather, it's that other knight that will do less dmg to you, because you have protection from his faction. |
