Default Re: Attack distribution

I didnt say anything at the time because I could see where prgrammically it could make sense. Add up all the hit points, add up the armor, add up the damage, do the math then provide the visual results.

But I had been thinking that it seems to me that Ive gotten multiple battle afflictions in the same group in the same battle. That would seem to indicate multiple targetting.

Also I think Ive watched battles and seen hit points go down seperately.

Yea, I have watched enough battles to know this was the case from observation.

Lone SC's in Dom3 are very, very fragile especially mid game or later...

I took out a blue dragon, in its own dominion with nearly 300hps with ring of regeneration, luck pendant and fear helmet. The force that did this? 4 illusionists (no magic items) and a werewolf. I lost the werewolf...

My SC's now lead armies, have powerful bodyguards and operate as part of a bigger force. I would not risk one on his own, considering the cost of his equipment.

I believe the age of the SC is now over...for anything short of conquering indies, tiny armies of less than a 100 troops.

Dom 3 is all about huge armies (preferably blessed), backed with magic and the odd battlefield hero.

I agree, I had a heavily empowered PoD equipped with several artifacts and tons of high level spells. I sent him alone into an average to weak independent nation and, while he did win, he came out of it with a chest wound. Another time, I sent an unequipped blue dragon into an independent province and he got slaughtered. If tough SCs are having problems with independent provinces, then there's not a lot of hope for using them alone.
