Land combat details

Post by juntoalmar »

I have seen in the videos, that when attacking a unit you get a combat ratio before you start your attack (3:1, 4:1 and so on) and the results from the attack, but not detailed information.

- Can the player get some extra information regarding how this ratio is calculated? Let’s say I attack a 2 factor unit with my 10 factor units, expecting a 5:1 but I get a 3:1. Can I get some more details about why is this happening (defender entrenchment, poor supply, differences in experience, terrain…).
- Let’s say you have a pretty favorable ratio (4:1) but the combat result is not what you expected. Can the player know the die roll to know if he had just bad luck or he made a bad planning?

I feel when this information is not public, it’s harder to understand how the game works (and to learn how to be an effective player)

Thanks!
