Default Re: Unit Spreadsheet

Jotun has level 3 priests, so they can cast sermon of courage. But what Arryn says is true - protection does not scale like other stats, which means the change in strength is huge.

Running the combat sim:

'JO Hirdman' versus 'Heavy Inf Chain' in 40000 bouts.

~ Attacker's Deathmatch Statistics ~

Score: ---------------------- 999
Wins: ----------------------- 99.99%
Losses: --------------------- .02%
Kills per battle: ----------- 1.00
Kills per round: ------------ .45
Deaths per battle: ---------- .01
Life expectancy (rounds): --- INF
Life expectancy (battles): -- 4999.78
Avg. Rounds Elapsed: -------- 2.27
Avg. Rounds to Win: --------- 2.27
Avg. Rounds to Lose: -------- 4.29

'JO Hirdman' versus '4*Heavy Inf Chain' in 40000 bouts.

~ Attacker's Deathmatch Statistics ~

Score: ---------------------- 898
Wins: ----------------------- 89.85%
Losses: --------------------- 10.16%
Kills per battle: ----------- 3.75
Kills per round: ------------ .52
Deaths per battle: ---------- .11
Life expectancy (rounds): --- 71.13
Life expectancy (battles): -- 9.78
Avg. Rounds Elapsed: -------- 7.28
Avg. Rounds to Win: --------- 7.42
Avg. Rounds to Lose: -------- 6.07
Hit Rate: ------------------- 57.55%
Evade Rate: ----------------- 64.84%
Repel Rate: ----------------- 31.29%
Damage done per swing: ------ 8.91
Damage done per hit: -------- 15.48
Damage taken per hit: ------- 2.82
Total damage taken per life: 129.66


So. A hirdman does an average of 15 damage per hit, and takes around 2.5 damage per hit. And 90% of the time he beats 4 of the heaviest independant infantry, assuming nobody routs. It takes 6 HI to usually beat the Hirdman, which is 60 gold, 120 resources, and 6 supply versus 40 gold, 34 resources, and 3 supply.

Morale is a terrible problem with Jotun militia - they always rout when they could actually win. But the jotun elites, backed by Godes, do quite well.

P.S. Note that the Hirdman is bugged - he's supposed to wear Chain, like the other heavy Jotun units.
