The battle simulator feature is a decent method for inquiring how much damage one unit will do to another, or which units will win in a certain matchup or arrangement, but for the sake of understanding the mechanics of the game and precisely calculating damage dealt from one stack to another, the damage formula is needed.
Contents
Damage Formula
UnitR_Losses = Number_of_UnitA * UnitA_attack_power * (accuracy/100) * UnitA_damage_modifier * UnitA_efficiency * (1 - (UnitR_resistance/100)) * UnitR_defensive_abilities / UnitR_hitpoints
- UnitA is the attacking unit
- UnitR is the unit receiving the attack
- accuracy is Unit A's accuracy in attacking UnitR; base accuracy is 0.3 on defense and regular attacks and 0.2 on sieges, but often modified by Sun favor, accuracy-related unit abilities (fear, swift, beauty, marksmanship, and clumsiness), enchantments, battle spells, the warlord hero, etc.
- UnitA_damage_modifier is typically a random number between 0.2 and 0.8, but the average of 0.5 is usually used
- UnitR_resistance is the resistance of UnitR to the attack type of UnitA's attack; if there is more than one attack type (e.g. FIRE BREATH), the average of these attack types is used
- UnitR_Defensive_Abilities would be non-accuracy-related unit abilities like healing (0.7), scales (0.75), regeneration (0.8), charm (0.5), large shield (0.5), weakness (2.0), etc., which would all be multiplied together
Alternate Version of Damage Formula
Alternatively, this calculation can be broken up into intermediate parts...
Attack = Number_of_UnitA * UnitA_attack_power * accuracy * UnitA_damage_modifier * UnitA_efficiency
Defend = UnitR_hitpoints / (1 - (UnitR_resistance/100))
UnitR_Losses = Attack/Defend
Examples
Regular Attack: 245 Water Elemental attacking Vampire
- accuracy modifiers: 30% (standard accuracy in a regular attack) - 10% (swift) = 20%; therefore, accuracy/100 = 0.2
- resistance modifiers: poison (75%), ranged (95%); (1 - (85/100)) = 0.15
Vampire_Losses = 245 * 400,000 * 0.2 * 0.5 * 1.0 * 0.15 * 0.5 / 4500 = 163.3 => 163 dead Vampire
