Baby Billy's Battle Bonkers

trupheus And then the really fun part, I am -39 buildings available.

@Lord Thane is aware of this, I'm pretty sure I mentioned it earlier to ensure that this did not happen... as i anticipated it would.

Lord Thane

trupheus did you get more buildings than listed in your report? The report pasted looks good for #'s.

I just ran a test attack and got 1 land, came with 5 buildings built. Checked my Buildings section and it checked out good - 5 new buildings installed and 5 open slots for new buildings.

Was your building overage already there? I didn't make any fix for previous overages, the fix was just for new attacks.

Edit: oops, I see now that was a defense. Yeah looks like a bug, you only lost the buildings from the report and didn't lose the buildings that should have been burned from the attack lol. I'll look into that tomorrow 🙏

Lord Thane

Alright got a fix in place for the building spoils. Also thought of another scenario that needed fixing at the same time = old formula was assuming defender always had 10 buildings built per land and based spoils on that, new formula will check how many buildings are actually built on the defender's lands before running the spoils/destruction calcs.

In my test attack the defender had 20 lands and 100 buildings built (50% built lands). The attack resulted in gaining 1 land and on that were 3 buildings that survived. The defender lost 5 buildings total (since they had an average of 5 built per land), 3 of them went to the attacker and 2 to destroyed.

This is much better logic and better realism on both sides 🙂

Xliest

Lord Thane the logic seems fine. You added entropy to buildings destroyed/gained as well? Or will it be exact if I have 100 land and 800 buildings someone attacks me and wins 10 land do I lose 80 buildings and they gain 50? Or could I lose say 74 and they gain 55…

Lord Thane

Xliest nah it's just going to take an equal cut of whatever buildings you have built, if you lose 10% of land then you'll lose 10% of buildings. The entropy comes with number of buildings that survive the battle, so the attacker might gain 50 buildings or maybe 69 buildings, etc. I think this is good enough, don't need to go overboard with randomness, idk maybe if enough people want more randomness then we can add it 🤔

My Lord, my Lord, we were invaded by DarkRealm at Tuth-1! Enemies are upon us. They took everything what they could, our troops were unable to defend our kingdom. We must do something now!

We lost 1 Castle(s) sorrounded by 34 lands.
In this lands are also constructed : 20 Advanced Training Center , 0 Farm , 14 Forge , 31 Guard House , 0 Guard Tower , 55 House , 22 Market , 0 Medical Center , 0 Mill , 0 Mine , 46 School , 28 Training Center ,

We managed to kill : 93 Knight 337 Infantry 387 Pikeman 48 Heavy Infantry 294 Archer 50 Mounted Archers

But we lost : 173 Shadow Warrior 988 Rusher 1368 Slother 182 Wolf Master 1053 Slinger 138 Axe Thrower

We are still out here getting full zeroed, not to mention i have -11 max build again. i had 30 buildings on the go when i was hit. but it still shouldn't get you to - if the code we talked about was doing the right thing.

Lord Thane

The casualty caps I was testing were removed in favor of the old style, so getting fully zeroed is expected possible behavior. But I thought there's supposed to be a 'defend with 70%' rule, we can probably look into that.

AdinTheDark

Lord Thane
Also need to look at troops returning compared to BR. I sent 646 lost 387 and only have 47 returning

TheKeeper

AdinTheDark I fixed that 😉

trupheus

Everything definitely died during long range phase 😃

had 80 buildings to construct after, about 23.5%.

Here you go:
🎉 BREAKING NEWS: The mighty Discord of Trupheus has somehow, against all odds (and common sense), managed to not trip over their own ego long enough to sack the Court of the Ocean! 🌊⚔️

Witness the "strategic brilliance" of sending wave after wave of troops until the enemy got bored and left. Truly, a victory for the history books—or at least the hilariously inaccurate ones. 🏆🤡

Let us all bow before Discord’s unmatched ability to win by sheer accident. 👑💥

We won 1 Castle(s) sorrounded by 34 lands.
In this lands are also constructed : 30 Advanced Training Center , 0 Farm , 14 Forge , 31 Guard House , 0 Guard Tower , 54 House , 21 Market , 0 Medical Center , 0 Mill , 0 Mine , 46 School , 28 Training Center ,

In this lands also lived 12405 people who are gratefull to join our Kingdom.

We managed to kill : 16 Shadow Warrior 29 Rusher 43 Slother 19 Wolf Master 29 Slinger 19 Axe Thrower

But we lost : 1 Catapult 6 Infantry 23 Militia 4 Rider 74 Rock thrower 0 Balista

AdinTheDark

So the loading for the attack takes like 30 seconds. Keep that in mind when you’re attack right before tick

Lord Thane

AdinTheDark yeah the novelty of it has worn off on me already lol... I think it would be better to just have 10-20 responses on random that load instantly. To give additional variation we could swap them out or add more new ones every round or something.

Need to get a player settings page setup for things like this, toggle off ai.

AdinTheDark

Base attack bonus is only going up on successful defends. My base started at five. Had one defense it went to 7. Made two attacks and it stayed 7. Won another defense and now it’s 9

TheKeeper

Lord Thane We can all we need, not just 10 - 20, we just need to pre-process the responses within the tick

bierlym

I know low number of battles at this point, but training units for a full week and losing 100% of troops in one battle. will take me 40+ game days to retrain the army I had. some adjustment to troops dying is needed. Ridiculous to lose a week of work in seconds.

Jules

Do these losses sound right? I didn't get zero'd and turned on shield wall for fun

We managed to kill : 153 Catapult 230 Infantry 2159 Militia 249 Rider 5514 Rock thrower 168 Balista

But we lost : 500 Shieldbearer 1122 Hammer wheilder 783 Axe Man 455 Runner 1189 Light Crossbowman 395 Heavy Crossbowman

Seems like there should be A LOT more losses on the gnome side, unless fodder hides behind siege now or something lol

Edit: Is ranged still cut in half in this game? ie were the RT's 4/1's or 2/1's? Assuming he had range tech, and he had FF on.

Lord Thane

Jules running it through AI for a rough calc just based on casualties, seems pretty consistent just on a casualties v casualties basis:

The dwarven attackers mustered about 17.6 k Attack against gnomish units whose combined Defense was 16.0 k, so their offensive power was sufficient to wipe out roughly 8.5 k gnomish troops.

The gnomish counter-attack had roughly 35.7 k Attack vs dwarven 36.1 k Defense, meaning dwarven defenses slightly out-matched the gnomes’, capping losses at about 4.4 k dwarven warriors.

The aggregate Attack vs. Defense ratios line up nicely with the ₂: 1 kill ratio observed—so the reported casualties are consistent with the unit stats.

saadht

@Jules if I understand correctly, if one side is OP, they lose a lot less as they already butcher your attackers during the first phases. That’s why we lost so much while attacking you and sometimes your losses barely batted an eyelid.

Anyway, well played buddy. Those dwarves are powerful.

Jules

saadht

The BR's against you guys seem fine-r to me. It does look like I needed to lose more against each BR, particularly Adin, but you guys didnt send nearly enough damage. Ideally roughly half the losses of a human, comps depending. I was shield-walling and had like .66GT/acre or something like that, for fun... no idea how well that played into it.

This "butchering in the first phases" really stands out as Dwarf vs Gnome when the unit stats are opposite. Is this really what it was? Then again, I didn't get zero'd, so was it? Where was muh shield line, and Axemen frankly lol. Is FF working for both sides?

Range phase is probably no longer halved and benefits from what you describe above, leaving melee in situational lurches? Some gnome should go 50/50 cats+bals and use FF, there's enough wood for it lol. Could RT's be 8/1's with two gnomes on FF? sounds juicy

Honestly I don't know enough about how these systems work now to really say much lol.

trupheus

Lord Thane

my total long range damage in the fight was 51.6k. (assuming damage isn't halved like it was in old thardferr)

Jules

I believe the Gnome attack power was much more, not that it helps my case lol. He had that damage in just RT's, assuming he has range tech. Then he had FF on. _15k RT's that are either 4/1 or 2/1, which is it? But we only used 5k for the above.

I dunno man, maybe it is what it is. Does shield line work, and what exactly does "Other units damages reduced depending on shieldbearer damages."

This 2:1 ratio, what is it? We expect 2:1 losses, dwarf vs gnome or gnome vs gnome?

Mack10

Jules None of the Gnomes have much weapon upgrades yet, if any. I know Trupheus doesnt have sling tech.
Maybe we could get some Quick Technologies to test out end game attacks to help Balance.
Keep in mind Gnomes have unlimited resources as well and to sustain the heavy Cats and Bal's, which would be impossible to sustain/build without Keepers Gifts.
