Hey all.
A few random thoughts here. I've been using the simulator, and the results I am getting defy common sense.
Example:
Attacker: Hoplites 60 Slingers 30
Defender: Swords 60
Now according to the sim, the slingers will get totally wiped out in the attack, apparently contributing little to the success of the battle. Reducing casualties in hoplites, but overall losing a lot.
This is surprising to me, since normally ranged units in a real battle would be shielded by melee in the front -- by combining ranged and melee should achieve a crushing synergy against melee only troops. The ranged units shouldn't really be wiped out... ;-)
Any comments...?
