Ground Combat

[Fyron]

The best offense modifier and the best defense modifier from all troops and components in the stack is applied in some way. I don't know if anyone has taken the time to work out an exact formula though. But note that I am dumb. (used to be there is absolutely no randomness in SE4 ground combat...)

That is why I am trying to determine what will be needed to take out these certain planets in the game I am in. Just need to figure out what I need to bring to the fight to succeed.

Thanks.

Well i dont see the need for a formula anyway. Ground combat is about masses. Load a transport full with ground cannon I, II or III and invade whatever you like. At any rate, a full transport will overwhelm every planet, unless that planets controller did mass troops as well.


Mods are another topic though.


edit: with mods, im referring to gameplay mods. Not offense mods

Ground cannons are lame uberguns. And stock GC dosen't give much room to see randomness.

I have seen decent randomness in ground combat in my mods. When ground combat takes many turns, you can see the losses pile up, and they aren't nessesarily in the order of placement.
