Each unit has three basic parameters - Attack, Health and Defence.
In the battle Attack decreases the enemy's health.
The third parameter (Defence) decreases received damage. Max Defence value cannot exceed 50. Bonuses that increase Defence higher than 50 are cut, in this case the Defence value turns yellow.
E.g.: If Defence of my units is 10, they receive 10% less damage. If the defence value is 20, they receive 20% less damage. If Defence is 50, 2 times less damage.
The "Fortification" round is played before the battle.
In this round Fortifications of the defender kill a certain number of troops.
Units are killed proportionally to their number in the group regardless of their strength and level (except for the Mercenaries).
Combat rounds
After the Fortification round the combat begins where the number and parameters of units and also presence of Pursuers-Victims in the battle is considered.
Algorithms of attack calculations:
Step 1. Calculate the attack value of the whole considering bonuses-disbonuses + attack of Towers and Magic Towers.
Step 2. Calculate the percentage for groups and number of units in the group.
Step 3. Calculate the attack additionally dealt by Pursuers.
Step 4. Distribute the damage portions.
The residual damage (e.g. the Warrior group don't have enough health to take all damage) is distributed among other groups of units proportionally.
Damage calculation:
Pursuer-Victim.
E.g.: The Cavalry is the pursuer for the Warriors, accordingly the Warrior is a victim for the Cavalry.
Combat in each round is played according to standard rules, i.e. the Cavalry deals damage to all enemy troops according to the algorithm, plus the cavalry deals additional damage only to the Warriors.
% of losses in the battle,
when you troops retreat – set in the Main building.
For the attacker in the dialog box of the mission.
At the end of each round the system check the losses limit for each army. If the limit is reached the army retreats and don't participate in the next round. If all armies from any side retreat – the combat round are over.
Winner:
- The player who didn't reach the limit of losses while the other player have reached it is considered the Winner.
- Maximum number of rounds in battle is 20. If attacking army don't win within 20 rounds, the Attacker loses.
In the end of battle the "Resurrection" round takes place
Healers that survived resurrect fallen in battle units from their troops first, and then - units of the ally troops.
The process begins from the left and is exercised by one unit for each group. That is, 1 Carrier is to be resurrected fist, 1 Warrior - next, 1 Cavalary unit - next, and so on. After 1 Mage is resurrected, another Carrier is in the queue. Ressurected healer do not resurrect units in current battle.
EXAMPLE: If 10 Warriors and 100 Carriers fell in the battle, and only 20 can be resurrected, then 10 Carriers and 10 Warriors will be the resurrected units.
