[1.05b1] Glorious War isn't applied to defense like stated

Post by demiare »

Both reports from same combat (actually from same round & same sub-unit).

Despite tooltip saying that "Glorious War" is applied to attack and defense, instead in combat log it's bonus applied only to attacks (and counter-attacks but they seems to get benefits from any kind of bonus regardless offensive or defensive as classic "Defense" stratagem boosting them too).

P.S. Again game was started 1.04b11b. Sorry, but planet is so great and I want to finish my endless war for a single water source :)

I remember a previous thread regarding what posture bonuses actually do concluding that the defense bonus from postures is a bonus to attack score when fighting defensive battles, rather than affecting the defense score.
Not affiliated with Slitherine. They added it to my name when they merged the Slitherine and Matrix account systems.

Even so then:
1) It will be cool to update text on tooltips.
2) Manual is 100% need clarification. As I searched through updated 1.05 manual and everything about postures were at best extremely vague phrases "they will provide a lot of bonuses". With zero detail about what will be affected.

I sugested a while ago to rename it to Tactical and Startagic Offense/Defense:

This can also double as a explanation.

Except there is no tactical vs strategic concept anywhere in the game. You then have define what those terms mean too.

If it modifies the attack score it should simply state it.

"Adds x to formation's attack score in both the offense and defense."

Attack and offense/offensive are not synonymous.

"Despite tooltip saying that "Glorious War" is applied to attack and defense"

It is applied when your Hex is attack and when you are the one attacking an enemy Hex.

During combat the bonus increases the attack score of troops, but not the hitpoints.
