Authorexcessive knockback
The AI got knockback on me too many times during this fight:
https://www.lordswm.com/warlog.php?lt=-1&warid=14281421

That ended up costing me the fight. See the beginning of the fight where I lost close to 20 guardians before they could even land 1 hit! That's not fair! How is it possible that 14 ogres can knockback 65 guardians like that TWICE IN A ROW!!?? :-@!
My multi swordmen stun 3 time in a row :)
But i forget which fight, lazy to find it out :P
In your fight, Javi, i saw 6 knockbacks X 4 Stuns.

And 2 stuns in a roll, in decisive moment of fight. I wa more than just, no?
correct me if i am wrong, but knockback/stun is not based on the number in the stack. So it does not matter that is 14 orgres and 65 guardians.

looks like AI got it lucky
yes
knockback is a triggering ability
it can. It's already proven in your combat. Do you believe if i say 1 ogre can knock my efk back? You should believe.
Chance for ability to trigger

If attHP >= tarHP
Probability = 25% + 3% * (attHP/tarHP)
else
Probability = 25% - 3% * (tarHP/attHP)

the first knock you mentioned, it had 19%+ chance, then the 2nd had higher, so its possible, and in a sense, it does base on number in a stack
oh wait, just saw your fight and it was 18 ogres, so the chances were higher
and the probability is within 5%-75%, so its possible for 1 ogre to knock large efk stack
The chance for ability to trigger

If attHP >= tarHP, then
Probability = 25% + 3% * (attHP/tarHP);
else
Probability = 25% - 3% * (tarHP/attHP),

Where:
- attHP is the total leftover HP of the stack that's using the ability;
- tarHP is the total leftover HP of the target stack;
- Trigger probability does not exceed the bound of [5%;75%];
- The moments to calculate the probability differ depending on the ability type.
-> For Stun and Knocking shot, the probability is calculated using HP's of stacks *before* the actual attack.

-> For Knockback and Fear Attack, the calculation occurs *after* the attack and before target's retaliation.

-> The only ability that can trigger on retaliation counterstrike is Knockback.


Inital hit, after damage is dealt:
18 Orges @ 50hp each, 58 guardians@ 26hp each and one at 15hp.
Probability = 25% - 3% * (tarHP/attHP) = 25-(3*1.692)%
= 19.97%
So the 18 orges hada 19.97% chance to knockback you on their first hit.

Second hit
18 Orges @ 50hp each, 52 guardians @ 26hp each, one at 18hp.
Probability = 25% - 3% * (tarHP/attHP) = 25-(3*1.5222)%
= 20.43%

3rd hit:
18 Orges @ 50hp each, 46 guardians @ 26hp each, one at 24hp.
Probability = 25% - 3% * (tarHP/attHP) = 25-(3*1.356)%
= 20.93%
It failed - 79.07% chance

Just bad luck I guess..
Tell me about it. My whole stack of Guardians didn't even get to take ONE turn in the whole ambush from start to death (!?!). And I'm talking about a huge stack of Guardians here, not some wimpy Farmers or something.
