Q. How is combat calculated?
- Combat depends on many factors. Terrain, level, composition, armour class. Damage is not inflicted to one unit at a time but all units together, the lower the health of your unit/stack the lower its strength. WHen your army health is low then your units begin to die. Units will deal the same amount of damage it states in their stats but sometimes there can be a +/-20% difference.
Remember: Retreat your units back to your own lands to heal and give you time to prepare your strategy.
Q. Can I retreat my units from battle?
- Yes some can, you can but remember they can not be retreated until they reach their target. Not all units can retreat. You can increase the chance of a successful retreat by increasing the units level.
