FORO THE LORD ARCHMAGE

Just to clarify. You have 24 hours to take your counter before it expires right?                    

Meh, true. I\'d be intrested to see your battle report if you can dig it up.

The Archangel are hit 7 times before they attack and they do no damage. At the end of the battle



Zelus (#4475)\'s 175 Archangel are slain during battle.

Zelus (#4475)\'s 58 Archangel are resurrected from death.



And I lost it so he must have had more then 1170 to begin with, 995 AA should be able to kill 1 Pheonix.                    

I finally found a battle report where the units attack is zeroed!!!!                    

CitaSo i stay the same: Fatigue acts every time a unit is hit, even if the attack causes no damage (100% defense).

No, it\'s everytime the unit uses it\'s primary attack or counters if a unit is hit by a secondary attack it doesn\'t attempt to counter and thus isn\'t fatigued. If a unit uses it\'s secondary attack it doesn\'t become fatigued (As seen with the Pheonix above).                    

The fact that the Units were too far away to be hit make no difference, the Pheonix attempted to counter and were fatigued as a result.                    

The figures and formula\'s I use are the one\'s I found written on the AM UBB by Mize and Tijn (Both very very awesome mages) and that I\'ve tested.



I\'m assuming you know that the accuracy for Magic and Ranged Magic is 30%.



This battle report (And the method I use to find the efficiency) perhaps isn\'t the best to use but it\'s the best one I have availiable.

#Dead = (#Attacker * AP * (1-AverageOfResistances) * Accuracy * Effeciency) / DefenderHP

165 = (x * 300 000 * (1 - 0.585) * 0.3) / 8200

1 353 000 = x * 300 000 * (1 - 0.585) * 0.3

4 510 000 = x * 300 000 * (1 - 0.585)

10 738 095.23... = x * 300 000

x = 35 or 36



So, we\'d expect 34 (35 - 1) Pheonix in their primary attack (if there was no fatigue) to kill



#Dead = (34 * 100 000 * (1 - 0.5) * 0.3) / 8200

#Dead = 62



Thus the percentage of the expected result was = 35 / 62

                                              = 56.45%



Alternatively, if there where 36 Pheonix



#Dead = (35 * 100 000 * (1 - 0.5) * 0.3) / 8200

#Dead = 64



Thus the percentage of the expected result was = 35 / 64

                                              = 54.69%







If I was correct and a unit lost 15% of it\'s effeciency each time it countered or used it\'s primary attack (Not Secondary) the efficiency should be



100% - 3 * 15% = 100% - 45% = 55%



The final result is that it\'s slightly off but this is likely due to rounding.



If each time a unit was attacked the effeciency got multied by 0.85 (A 15% reduction) the efficiency would have been ~61%.



Hence Fatigue is direct subtract and can zero an attack. I have seen battle reports where there was one prior hit and the result was a 15% reduction, where there were 2 hits and a 30% reduction, above is a battle report with 3 hits and a 45% reduction. There seems no reason for this trend not to continue and Tijn posted in the forum saying you could stop mono peg dead with Vampire top if four stacks hit the pegs before the pegs hit the vampire, simply through fatigue.                    

Cita

each time a unit is hit by an attack...the accuracy decreases on a %....

Accuracy can\'t be 0%, so a unit will always hit no matter how many attacks it has recieved, only his \"killing\" would be severely decreased.

That\'s incorrect. Every single thing the encyclopedia tells you regarding percentages in battle is direct subtraction. (x% - y% = (x-y)% not (x*y%)%)



The formula for number of units killed is



#Dead = (#Attacker * AP * (1-AverageOfResistances) * Accuracy * Effeciency) / DefenderHP



Accuracy is effected by things like Seige Penalty (But this is variable depending on what unit abilities are stacked with it), Marksmanship, Clumsiness etc and it has a minimum value of like 1-3%. All abilities are direct addition/subtraction - so if you have a unit with a magic attack for instance, which has a constant accuracy of 30%, that has the unit ability Marksmanship (+10 Accuracy) the accuracy becomes 40%.

30% + 10% = 40%



If a unit with a magic attack hits a unit with fear the accuracy is

30% - 15% = 15%





Efficiency only applies to the Primary Attack and Counter Attack damage and is effected but stuff like Charm and Fatigue. Effeciency starts at 100 percent but every time a unit without endurance attacks with it\'s primary attack or counters it is reduced by 15% (direct subraction). If it has endurance the direct subtract is 10%. Effeciency can be reduced to zero.                    

If it\'s the same fatigue as normal AM then it\'s a 15% reduction to damage done by Primary attack and Counter each time a units uses it\'s primary attack or counters. 10% if the unit has Endurance.                    

Isn\'t Flying modification 2.25?                    

Not programmed in yet.  :golpeado:                    

I really doubt the logic of this. Perhaps trees are over powered now because some key spells/enchantments still don\'t work. But do you have to **** up one of the 2(3?) decent units green has to weaken the colour to the level of the other colours on the server? Wouldn\'t it be better to get everything running before trying to \'balance\' units.



I agree that there was something really wrong with how trees and red in general interacted last reset (Memories of winning vs mono RD with mono tree - provideding CH got through). Red should have a bigger advantage over Trees then that (Well, RD atleast). Fire should beat tree\'s but dropping their AP/HP to 5000??? The lowest value I can ever remeber on real AM was 7500. That\'s a drop to 66%.



Trees have always been huge. They have to be given they are the back bone of most green armies. Take that away and what do you have? Nix? They die like flies here. I\'ve seen battles at the 5 million NP level were 26 Pheonix bit the dust. 1 million power from a 5 million NP mage.... Earth Elementals/Mandrakes? They need cover or they die (On this server at least). An animal unit? No Enlarge/Ring here, they die. This leaves you with what? Creeping Vines and Dryads; sounds like a killer force to me.



Just my thoughts.                    

500 turn max would be insane! You\'d end up going on like 250 turn attack runs.... leave it as it is.
