Attack bonus calculation

Me too! I’m excited that we’re able to more easily identify these issues now.

Once we get through this initial testing, we’ll be able to balance out lots of stuff.

The base multiplier is 1, so although 0 race attack bonus will be neutral and negative race attack bonus will be a penalty, science bonuses will still add benefit to those empires.

Yes I understand it will still add a benefit but it makes Wardancer super OP IMO

Example Revalon vs Wardancer both with 99% mil science plus war and FA

Revalon = 164.3%
Wardancer = 383.2%

IMO There should only be a 110% difference not 218.9% … That is insane

That predates any of the recent work, I have no idea how long it’s been that way or the rationale behind it.

If it has always been this way it’s no wonder people complain that there is an attack bug. I see no rationale behind it.

@I_like_pie

We can and should have players test this though. Please help us test if you can.

Too lazy…Just spent an hour writing up this post when I could have been sleeping or drinking beer or something.

Well for goodness sake, get that beer!

I agree though, and am looking forward to sorting this out.

That is the equation for just the attack bonus correct?

Curious what is the equation for defense?
