Military and Invasion
|
|
Military units vary by races. Each race has a different set of units, and these units have 3 attributes: Offensive power, Defensive power, and special ability. The only commonality between the races is that each has a base offensive and defensive unit, and all have two "special" units. When you are attacking, the offensive power of your units, together with their special ability (positive or negative), and summed together, and this becomes your attacking strength. Bonuses are applied after being summed together first, and pitted against your target's defensive strength. When you are on the defense, the defensive power of the units you have at home (that is, those that have not been sent on an attack, and those that are not in training) are summed together, and then the summed bonuses are applied. To determine the success of the attack, the actual numbers are used to determine success and failure. There is no randomness involved in attacking. Much has been highlighted in the last paragraph because it contains the most vital information in the game. Be sure you read and understand it :) Below are the military units, broken down by race. Costs are given in the units of p (platinum) and r (ore). You need 1 draftee for every unit you are trying to train. Draftees, for all races, have 0 offensive power, and 1 defensive power.

| More Details |
| A) Percentages for units that increase by a given land percent do not have to be exact. For example, if the bonus is +1 for every 10%, then the unit still gets +.1 for every 1%, +.5 for every 5%, etc etc. Units above are listed in terms of the percent that will give the unit a whole number, but actual unit powers are calculated based on exact land percentages. |
| B) Spirit Warriors are NOT considered to be 'undead' units. Thus they are not affected by anything that would normally affect UNDEAD units. However, attacks that fail by at least 20% will cause these units to die. |
| C) Never Dies is a loose term. There are several ways in which undead units may be killed, including by Humans using the Crusade spell. Also, attacking an enemy force and losing by at least 20% power will cause these units to die. |
| D) As an example, if you have 100 Beasts at home, and 50 Overlords at home, 50 of your beasts are 0/5, while the other 50 are 0/3. If you had 100 Beasts at home, and 200 Overlords at home, all 100 Beasts would be just 0/5. |
| E) As an example, if you have 100 Overlords attacking, and 50 Grunts attacking, 50 of your Overlords are 5/2, while the other 50 are 3/2. If you had 100 Overlords attacking, and 200 Grunts attacking, all 100 Overlords would be just 5/2. |
