Default Re: Possible ground combat bug??

Q, I have tested it and you are right, shields do not seem to work.

I have created the same designs you used. You slightly miscalculated, the Armor trooper has a health of 13 plus 3 points of emissive ability, so 16 in total (emissive armor always subtracts 3 points of damage, even if damage is greater then 3, as I found out)

In a battle 100 defenders plus 20 militia against 100 attackers the attacker always lost about 180 to 190 health points. This resulted in ~11 lost armor troopers and 18 lost shield troopers.
Conclusion: Shields are not working at the moment for troopers.
