Log your combat results here

[Jonath]

We should try to figure out just how combat results are calculated. Once we have enough results logged, we should be able to figure it out with matrix algebra or the like. So, please log your combat results here, and try to keep other chatter to a minimum.

Alternately, if someone has an active SurveyMonkey account, perhaps they can set up a survey.

I present for your pleasure the Battle of Raone. Some background: I wasnt quite set up for full on military when it got implemented (was expecting it to come next week tbh), so rather than one big zerg rush I had two forces at two cities, one to move in first and soften up the bandits, then the main force to mop up.

Sent the suicide force in first, to make things easier for the main force as they were only 150 rather than the 200 I had wanted. They were outnumbered about 3 to 1, so the outcome was pretty predictable.

They killed about 15% of the enemy force, which is what I wanted. Next came the main force led by the elite Bear Cavalry (http://www.bruddabear.com/photo/BearCavalry.jpg) to finish the job. Or so I had hoped, anyway...

Interestingly, these numbers dont quite match up. Either bandit strength is not actually persistent unit-by-unit, rather a single 'total units' number, capture is not working right, or some combination of the two. There were only about half as many units as there should have been based on casualties from the previous battle, though it wouldnt have made much difference. :cool:

[Leperous]

Weellll, so far, in general, it looks like if you kill over 60% of the enemy you win but they keep the plot, and that you need an 80% victory to capture it. I think there's a random element to whether or not you capture the plot or not after a victory but it's much more likely to happen the more of the enemy you kill (obviously).

I'd like to make the prediction that sending 45,35,30 against an enemy army of 45, 35, 30 (the 'standard' size) that you'll lose and 50,50,50 will probably outright win the plot. (55,55,55 should for sure.)

[Sooper Tooter]

Basically, I sent a big army, and killed a lot of the bandits, but they still kept the plot, so I sent in what was left, and killed the rest and took the plot.

Also, I should note that I sent 1 archer to the monument while my big army was still fighting. I got the monument plot with the big army, but by the time the archer got there, I already won, so he attacked my army! He was killed unceremoniously, apparently for being slow and a traitor.

[GaSplat]

Chariots are the most expensive to build, but its hard to determine their real impact in combat from all of this. At one point I figure it looks like they are hard to kill, and in the next battle they drop like flies. The random factor appears to be pretty high. Wondering if anyone has got the impression that the mix of weapon types makes any kind of difference and what constitutes a good mix of combined arms (or should you just build spears and archers, whatever is easiest for you to get the resources for, and have at it).

[Agamemnus]

We should try to figure out just how combat results are calculated. Once we have enough results logged, we should be able to figure it out with matrix algebra or the like. So, please log your combat results here, and try to keep other chatter to a minimum.


This is basically an impossible proposition. Before military was implemented, the randomness ranged between +2 times the average or as little as .5 times the average. You need 300-600 runs, varying attacker amounts/combinations not 50 times but 6+ times, so that's 100 runs per combo. Very difficult if done with just simulations before military was implemented, and now incredibly difficult/time consuming.

[Leperous]

I wouldn't say it's impossibe. It's like natural laws. One can start with a proposition as to how it works, test/tweak it against available data, and make predictions from it. This is science :)

For example, I'm guessing that military works by calculating the 'odds' or 'attack power' or whatever you want to call it for your army attacking each of the enemy spearmen, archers and chariots (e.g. taking the spearman vs. spearmen attack strength and multiplying it by the difference between your spearmen and the enemy's, and doing similarly with all the other combinations), calculating the kill-rates from that, and then from those whether or not you take the plot.

[Frozen Newborn]

First i sent archers from second city, and 1 minute after that main force from primary city. And it worked :D

[JuliaSet]

I had to figure this out. The bandit sites just don't have the right number of enemies listed, so don't go by what you read in reports about them. Assume there is a lot more in there. Id not sorted how to sent units in a combined force gathered from my three cities. I'd assumed we had to order them from each city and was not sure how to make more than 70 charioteers. Apparently I have a cap at 70, even when I have the charioterrs upgraded to level 3, which should allow for 90 charioteers.

Love the smell of napalm in the morning....

My favorite quote from my favorite movie.
Now I'll never get that out of my head when I send off soldiers.... :p;)

[awshutup]

Did not adhere to any strategy or protocol. Just threw a big force at the bandits.

Looks like my master archers are better at attacking larger formations ;).
I'm also "testing" if spear men and chariots get similar results, but I expect they do.
Oh well, at least this is a great way to stimulate the leather/cedar/bronze markets :p.

[Deguar]

Apologies for the double posting but I wanted to ensure the information was in this thread as well :)

Battle of the equals.

This is on a monument site with no actual monument yet.

You were attacked by xxxxx on 8:13am 12/14/2008
xxxxx sent Spearmen 12 Archers 85 Chariots 48 - Total 145
You had Spearmen 43 Archers 44 Chariots 46 - Total 133

Combat Details
xxxx killed Spearmen 24 Archers 44 Chariots 18 of your army - Total 86
You killed Spearmen 8 Archers 77 Chariots 16 of the enemy army - 101
xxxx captured Spearmen 8 Archers 0 Chariots 0 from you!

Result
You kept the monument!

So from the numbers it was a fairly even battle. XxxxX had a larger archer contingent, I had a balanced force with a slightly smaller (8% ish) force.

Troops left at the monument site

Spearmen 19 (19) ~~ Start of battle 43 - 24 deaths - 8 captured = 11 ?
Archers 0 (0) ~~ Start of battle 44 - 44 deaths = 0
Chariots 28 (28) ~~ Start of battle 46 - 18 deaths = 28

Which means the 8 captured Spearmen that XxxxX made away with don't actually exist or were made out of thin air, maybe my labourers tried to bolster the defences by creating sand dummies out of spare clothing or something.

Combat casualty percentage

Attackers - Total troops 145 - 101 deaths = 44 left = 70% casualty rate (rounded)

Defenders - Total troops 133 - 86 deaths = 47 left = 65% casualty rate (rounded)

You could hypothesise that a limestone quarry site might have given my troops a small morale boost (maybe 10%) given that even with my slightly smaller starting army I had less casualties. Yet the numbers are so close, if you throw in a few luck calculations and the different make up of the forces and it is certainly not proven
