health modifiers (stable)

both regiments are obviously in the same type of terrain if they were fighting with each other. number of troops doesnt matter above 10 since only 10 soldiers fight. both regiments were same type.

luck factor? what luck factor? is even damage done in fight random now?
according to rules soldiers in one regiment should have 70% hp, in other 140% hp. but somehow both had only 100%.

anyway, i was just attacked on speed by some guy on the other side of the map using portals. from village with 5000 networth he came with over 900 swordsmen and 250 knights within 1 hour, while my troops were still returning from raid on nearby village. he destroyed couple of buildings, and set off with 16 runes. so much for "persistent" browser game, eh?

its not persistent game (check dictionary for persistent), it takes ages to build anything up and you can lose it in minutes. combat system is idiotic, resource system without proper design. im done with this game, bye

where did i write im okay with attacking?

first i did write in other posts that im not okay with this random combat system
in this topic i gave example situation in which i was attacked and lost because somehow health modifiers werent applied
and now i got attacked by some teleporting guy who can enter my village within 1h even tho hes on the other side of the map.
this 17 rune loss is not a problem, i have lost runes few times. problem is that this game is too random and its NOT persistent at all.

how can you call a game persistent when you can lose almost everything within few attacks? a game where you can be attacked within 1-2 hours no matter how far away your opponent is? he could as well attack me 4 times while i was sleeping.

and dev saying he doesnt like too much randomness in a game - hello combat system on speed? weird formation system and lack of control over it (oh yes, pretty fun when you almost bring a regiment to 50% health to make it run away and then suddenly your regiment changes target cause other one ran away, leaving primary target with 55% hp happily attacking till the end of combat). add to it unclear game rules.

i was playing this game for 2 or 3 months and still i dont understand how some things work. i was pretty lucky with my peaceful start on stable. but imagine new players starting game - how confused they are and how their villages are destroyed after week of playing? yes, very persistent game... now have fun looking for new players that you can farm

i still think it's the luck factor, only the regiment with 140% health was very unlucky and ran after 1 round fighting, while the other was very lucky and could stay untill the end of the battle
i don't think there is any other explanation

in that case it depends on how much damage is inflicted each round. were the troops of the same type?

oh, i thought you were talking about a new attack
if the amount of troops is that big, the luck factor is not that big anymore... did this battle really happen or is it just a situation you make up? if it isn't, you are right that it's not normal... the 70%regiment should shrink way faster than the 140% one...

70% health or not 3 to 1 is grim odds.

its on stable, not on speed. on stable regiments run after reaching 50% hp, not 90%. throughout the fight there were a few same regiment pairs fighting with each other in different terrain types.

in forest regiments on both sides were killing 6-7 soldiers in each turn. in plains it was 10-11 soldiers. battle was really long so theres no chance of lucky planets alignment causing one side to hit harder once

maybe spell or something?
