Fix WoA.

It seems we've gone back to not being able to break someone who has 0 of a troopy type, which is total BS.

Towers, m'boy.

Im implying we go back to the other theme...

Neo,

the changes are purely causmetic. It doesn't matter if it shows 5,000 troops or 5 million troops, you still wouldn't be able to break the person, because the actual number the game works with is the same.

I beg to differ.

The changes brought on by the stats changes will have effects.

For example, I could break this person with 1.6 million skiffs on his 57k land, but I couldnt break him with 21 triremes (21,000,000 skiffs) on his 64k land.

Something is wrong there.

Id also like to note that in both instances the person i was attacking had 0 of the troop type i was using.

Also, if you are going to insist on using "rats" as the excuse for why i cant break someone who has 0 of something, then you need to find a way to have losses on rats, because it still doesnt make logical sense.

What stats changes? There weren't any stats changes, not with anything the game uses to calc.

I'd assume the guy simpley built a lot more guards on his next run, as you said his land increased. If it's gondor, that all the more supports my assertion - he masses guards like mad.

It's 2.1 million, not 21 million.

*nod* That makes better sense then.

Still doesnt excuse the fact that:
1) Im nto breaking on 0 of an enemy troop type
or
2) That, if we are assuming his rats are holding me, he is not losing rats.

Such is life. Sometimes campaigns fare badly for other reasons. Maybe you lost a lot of your troops due to yellow fever, or maybe the rivers were unnavigable. I think it adds a special element to the game. Now quit whingeing.

Whining is when I pack up and leave, or refuse to play because of a certain player or players.

This (what im doing) is just being agitated and trying to find a solution by means of actively pestering. =-)

Dropping the theme isn't the solution.

Technically, those spearmen were in towers.

But, yeah, maybe a few spearmen should be killed... The combat system could use a bit of review...

How about the spearmen in every tower that's over run are killed? After all, if the enemy destroys/captures the towers, the spearmen inside would either be killed or captured.

How would we even show captured soldiers? If you wanted that...you would have to capture soldiers every attack. That would be kinda a cool feature. They get sent to the reserves or sold if you have to many reserves...

Post by **Ruddertail** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 4:54 am

I was thinking they'd just be lumped in with the killed.
