Damage Modifier

This is the random component in the amount of damage dealt by your attacks, except for MAGIC and PSYCHIC attacks, that not suffer from it

• 0.2 to 0.8 (average 0.5) for MELEE, HOLY, RANGED, FIRE, MISSILE etc. etc.
  • this is decided randomly each strike with an attack (example: the first strike and the second strike of an "Additional Strike" unit will commonly have different random damage modifiers)

• 1.0 for MAGIC and PSYCHIC attacks
  • For this reason Magic and Psychic attacks are on average considered twice as powerful as other types.
  • This is only true when the attack type is solely MAGIC or PSYCHIC. Vampire's, for instance, have MAGIC RANGED and MAGIC PARALYZE and testing shows the modifier to random. (Nov/09)
