Weather effect on Combat

Post by cal755 »

Hi, Can someone clarify something for me. I noticed on the manual it says snow has a -35% effect on combat. Is this applied to the attacker and defender? I saw a post on this before but no clear answer is given.. Dose anyone know? I am in a game and am wondering if I should be hunkering down for the winter.

Since the manual says land combat modifier, I would say it applies to both attack and defence. But I am not sure indeed. But winterized countries are not impacted.

And later:
Winter Combat - The unit is trained with special winter combat tactics and equipment that allow them to fight better in snow or blizzard weather. They gain a 100% bonus in combat during these weather conditions.

The effectiveness loss is for everyone.
The combat loss is for the attacker only
