| Author | Faction Level and Stack Damage |
|---|
soo, i just read the formula for damage.
if the attacking stacks attack is higher than the defending stacks defense, we have:
Damage = N * RND(min, max) * [1 + 0,05 (A-D) ] * [1 - 3*Y/100]
N: number of creatures in stack
RND():random number between minimum and maximum damage of the stack
A: stacks attack
D: defenfing stacks defense
Y: faction level
soo. now my question is, why the last term?
a high level character, who put a lot of effort in raising his faction level is punished by getting a damage penalty on all his stacks?
i mean, if the maximum faction level is 9, thats a damage penalty of 27%!
the formula for defense is also pretty whacky.
if the defending stacks defense is higher than the attacking stacks offense, then we have:
Damage = N * RND(min, max) * [1 - 3*Y/100] / [1 + 0,05*(D-A)]
so the conclusion is,
-if i have a higher attack value, i will get a damage penalty of 27%.
-if my attack value is lower, i will get a damage penalty of 27%
this just seems odd to me, since it puts high defensive units on higher level into a much better position than attacking units.
did i miss something? can you stack your attack value that much higher than the defense value, later in the game?
why not just replacing the term with the faction level with a 1 and making the whole formula inependent from it? the difference between attack and defense values of, for example, a stack of imps and bandits should allways be roughly the same, if both heroes are level one or if both heroes are level 19 anyways. | | You have interpreted the formula wrong. The Y term refers to the defender's faction lvl and not your own. So it is a prevention effect he gets for having higher faction lvl when units from that particular faction lvl attack him (and also damage taken from magic from for example druids). | it is not the attackers faction lvl in the formula, but the defenders faction lvl in the attackers faction.
e.g.
I have faction skill 7 as nec and 4 as de, so if I get attacked by a nec, I will suffer 21% less damage, if attacked by an other de only -12%, aggainst any other faction I have no additional protection.
So you are not punished for high faction lvl but rewarded. | | You have interpreted the formula wrong. | | ah, ok. thank you. that was the point i was looking for :) |
