It would be nice to have this info, but I can see why they left it out. This game already displays a ton of information that can be a bit overwhelming for newer players so it is necessary to limit what is shown to keep them interested and not discouraged or tired of reading. BUT, that doesn't explain why there's no option for advanced tooltips that would display such information, or why the in game encyclopedia doesn't explain it.

Let me add that the start isnt entirely true. When he says they all have their little health bar. I think its still a whole because i noticed the health always dropped significantly before units actually start to die. (half health and almost all units still) Even when its a melee vs melee fight where units dont mix up much and all dmg comes at the frontline. I could be wrong, theres really so much hidden. Its just what i experienced in 1000 hours gameplay

So, RoR with the trait "guardian" are actually relevant... Since the lord/heroe who is fighting alongside them will soak up the damage, they'll be fine, and in turn give him Physical resist to tank the damage, all the while dealing their own damage to whatever they're fighting. Of course, that only applies if fighting a unit with splash damage... Did I get it right ?

Sounds like the upshot is: If your troops were just there as inconvenient meat, then it's fine; it doesn't matter how many gobbos a troll shoves around, because whether or not the gobbos poke some people with their pointy sticks is irrelevant (in fact, if it's shuffling some of the goblins to the back of the line, it could actually be IMPROVING the mob's defensive ability). But if Thorgrim's bellowing knocks over some Peak Gate Guard, the Dwarfs are going to be missing out on precious hammer time.

Can you talk about how some unit's animations influence their survivability ? It's something I witnessed particularly well with the Eagle and Phenix units : when they fight Infantry, or single-large monsters, they often do better than I expected because their attack animations place them periodically out of melee reach of their opponent, making them last longer than their stats just show. I've always wondered if it was actually a thing, or if my game is just buggy so I'd be really glad if you could help me find out how it truly is ^^

@gaslar3328
@gaslar3328 4 жыл бұрын
it's entirely a thing. The king of that sort of thing is the Tomb scorpion, whose anti-infantry prowess comes for a very large part from its animations, not only in the fact that, as he's jumping and diving, it'll protect him a lot of the time, but also are heavily disruptive, allowing him not to be swamped down, and escape situations he doesn't want to be in. Animations are a big part of unit survivability, but also efficiency, because they also condition the way you'll hit. High melee attack can be less efficient if the unit has shitty animations that connect rarely. That's actually something I really love in TW, the fact that there is so much hidden stats, but also things that cannot even be quantified in stats means that you really have to learn the units, and you cannot judge them just from their tooltip. Though eagles are pretty useless, imo, especially in campaign.

Damn, makes me wonder how much the biggest of the monsters can kill at once. Like, whenever I see mammoth charging through, there is some very juicy blood rain following often time. Same with Dragons and some else. Bloody shame the Giants don't have a bigger count of those...

Are you really sure about the damage division part though? I did a test, Hierotitan with 500 pure AP damage (no armor negation) charging into dismounted Blood Knights with 20 models (about 500HP for each). Guess what happened? They took 3502 damage overall, which suggests that it's actually 500 damage dealt for every hit target in the splash attack.

When accounting for a unit's hp you also need to add 8 points of hp due the fact that battle_entities also adds some hp to the value you find in land_units. Cavalry units get an extra 8 points for mount so they have a +16 added to the units value you see in land_units table.

One counterpoint to that more splash attack can be bad, is that there will still only be a set amount of entities engaged in combat, so that early kill numbers gain may not always be the better choice. And spreading damage across entities can be seen as an investment for a leadership bomb when you start killing enough of them quickly. Whether by the combat playing out its course, or when bringing in reinforcements.

It always amazes me what I don't know about the game. I would always mix my lord in with some infantry when fighting enemy lords under the assumption that the splash would be spread out amongst any infantry also caught in the splash.

When a splash attack has "bonus vs infantry" or "bonus vs large", does the bonus apply before of after the division by the number of target ?
@Zerkovich
@Zerkovich 4 жыл бұрын
Bonuses just add MA and WS when fighting the appropriate target. So it'll just provide slightly better damage to split, and more chance of hits landing.

@@Zerkovich Something I have not found out yet is bonuses for ranged attacks. In melee they increase MA and WS so does that mean in ranged attacks they'd increase Missle Damage and Marksmanship/Accuracy bonus or just Damage only? All I can find is that they work "exactly the same" but ranged accuracy is different and much more complicated than melee hit
