Re: Combat Simulator Released!
The new release (8) is not quite ready yet. However, a new feature has been added...
Matrix Power Rankings!!!
Every unit in the database fights against every other unit, and the results are averaged, to determine the average effectiveness of a unit against all other (known) units. This takes a while, since there are "N" fights for every combination of 2 units.
You can also specify a matrix subset, for example, power rankings involving just Ulm and Ermor units, to determine which units to build if you are Ulm, at war with Ermor (*cough* ywl... pikeneers cannot repel units with 50 morale).
Here are the statistics for all the units I have so far. But first:
What is modeled? Almost everything that effects normal units, like regeneration, lucky, ethereal, reinvigoration, poison, poison immunity, repels, being undead, life drain, being lifeless, fatigue effects (stat reduction and falling asleep), armor piercing and negating, magic weapons, and all the basic stuff.
What is not modeled (or not quite right)? Fear, chill, heat, poison clouds, spiky armor, magic resist saves, weapons with ammo (including lances), awe, paralysis, trample, damage from excess fatigue, fatigue damage from weapons, fire immunity, electrical immunity, cold immunity, bless effects, area of effect weapons, afflictions, experience, dominion bonuses (to MR and Morale), scale effects (heat and cold scales), stat increases from magic levels.
What will never be modeled? Ranged attacks, magic attacks, routing, or any battle movements other than melee attack.
So... here are the current unit power rankings! Remember, Militia's "Deathmatch" 11.4% means a fresh militia unit will win 11.4% of fights against all the other units listed, in a deathmatch.
