Question for Bill about combat setting in editor

Considering the attached image and the red zones in image, may I consider these 2 affirmations as right or wrong ? (and in this last case, what are exactly the correct affirmations ?) :

1°/ "A elite heavy cavalry unit attacking a village that contains a infantry unit does suffer a penalty attack of -1,5"

2°/ "A elite heavy cavalry unit that is attacked in a village by an infantry unit does suffer a penalty defense of -2"

These only apply to units that start the action within the relevant terrain/resource, so point 2 is correct.

However, for point 1 you need to go elsewhere in the Editor, where the defense bonuses are set.

Nevertheless, the penalty you have given it for attacking might be a good one too, because it means cavalry attacking from a village will suffer a penalty.

Thanks for reply, but there is something that is not clear for my eyes :?

We will take the problem by a different way : please, could you indicate me the formulation that describes exactly the situations "red" and "green" :

1°/ Green zones of the image : what does mean the "green" situation ? (in other terms, what will happends in game in the "green situation")

I suppose it is perhaps that : "a heavy cavalry attacking from a village hex will suffer a attack penalty of -1,5 vs attacked unit if attacked unit is infantry" Am I right or wrong ?


2°/ Red zones of the image : what does mean the "red situation" ? (in other terms, what will happends in game in the "red situation")

I suppose it is perhaps that : "A line cavalry unit that is on a city and that is attacked by a infantry unit will suffer a defense penalty of -2" Am I right or wrong ?

You are right on both points.

Ok, thanks. It's interessant because it's give more possibilities than another system (3 possibilities in place of 2), I understand now why Hubert created in editor "edit defense bonus screen" and "edit bonus/penalties data screen" : Hubert is diabolic... :P
