'''Winning Battles'''
 There are 3 conditions an attacker must meet to win a battle:
 1. Attacker must kill 10% of the Defender's permanent army. (Temporary units do not count in this %)
 2. Attacker must kill a larger % of the Defender's permanent army, than the Defender kills of the Attacker's permanent army.
 3. Attacker must have at least 1 unit remaining at the end of the battle.
   
All a defender has to do to win, is prevent one of these situations from being fulfilled.
   
'''Determining Unit kills'''
 ''Damage'' = #ofattackers * AttackPower * Efficiency * Accuracy * Rand * (1-(avgres)) * OtherMultipliers
 ''Units Killed'' = Damage/Life

 '''#ofattackers''' = # of units in the given "stack" of units (in sample: Lich's #ofattackers = 1000 , Archangel's #ofattackers = 2500)
 '''AttackPower''' = Listed AP of the unit. (in sample: Lich's AttackPower is 5500(primary), 8000(secondary), 2000(counter), Archangel's AttackPower is 4000(primary), 400(counter).)
 '''Efficiency''' = Measure of "Fatigue" of unit. Base Efficiency of every unit is 1, when unit strikes with a primary attack the unit suffers -.15 to this number (this number is only -.1 if the unit has "endurance"), a unit also suffers -.15 to this number when they attempt to counter (even if paralyzed or too far away - they still suffer fatigue). Charm causes a .5 reduction in efficiency when unit is attacked by a primary attack (Charm Example: 1 - .5 = .5 efficiency)
Accuracy = Accuracy of units, all units have a starting accuracy of .3, this accuracy is effected by spells, items, heroes, abilities, etc. Under normal circumstances it subtracts/adds to accuracy normally (example: Satchel of Mist is -10% accuracy, ie -.1 to accuracy. Changing accuracy from .3 to .2). The non-normal circumstances are when accuracy would reach extreme lows, in which case it changes formulae to one a bit more complicated (not at liberty to place here - as that is someone else's research whom I don't have permission from).
 '''Rand''' = Magic or Psychic attacks (even when linked with other attack types) have a Rand multiplier of 1. All other attacks have a Rand multiplier that randomly lands between .2 and .8 (for calculations .5 is standard).
 '''Avgres''' = Average resistances a unit has to an attack. This is calculated the following method:
 (ResistanceToAttackType1 + ResistanceToAttackType2 + ... + ResistanceToAttackTypeN)/N
 The (1-(avgres)) part of the formula can be interpreted in the following example:
 ''Attack Type: Fire Breath''
 ''Defender's Resistances: Fire: 75%, Breath: 0%''
 ''Avgres = 37.5%''
 ''(1-(avgres)) = 1 - .375 = .625''
 '''OtherMultipliers''' = These are the other multipliers such as Scales(.75) and Weakness(2). All multipliers are in turn multiplied.
 '''Life''' = The life of the unit being hit, very straightforward (lich = 7500 in the sample, Archangel = 6000 in the sample)
