Castle Defence Bonus (%d) ?

[liga]

Hi all,

the skill "Catle Defence Bonus" simply says:

"The unit is very effective at defending castles"

but the %d bonus which of the units attributes affects ? attack values ? morale ? precisione ?

thank you

I think that the bonus has more to do with stopping the attackers from breaking the door down, than actual fighting.

A defence bonus of 2, for example, would count as 2 extra men, when defending against a siege. So one ulmish guardian has the same effect (at repairing walls) as 3 normal men.

I could be wrong though

Where the walls of a castle are broken down is determined by adding up the seige and defense factors of the attackers and defenders, respectively.

The base formula for that is the strength of the unit squared, divided by 100. Thus, a unit with 10 strength counts as 1.0, while a unit with 20 strength counts as 4.0. Some units get bonuses and minuses in the final score. For example, flying units get an automatic +1. Sappers get +5 (IIRC). Mindless units get their final score divided by 10 if defending. And some units (like the Man heavy infantry) get a castle dfense bonus of +1.

Once the total scores for all the defending and attacking units are calculated, the difference (if the attackers get a higher number) is subtracted from the defense value of the castle. Once that number gets below 0, then the attackers can storm.
