Ravaged Caclulation

Postby Dan Pratt » Sun Dec 04, 2016 9:47 pm

Referring to 4.2.7.3.2 Ravaged (pg. 127):

There's a few things that are a little murky for me, maybe they are for others too:

1) for the purpose of calculating the percentage of non-allied warriors remaining, is the denominator the total initial host value or the initial non-allied total?

Ex: 1500 gold battle host including 500 gold allied contingent. Do you use 1500 or 1000 for ravaged calculation?

2) I know that the constitution of individual warriors does not matter, but do you account for dead warriors, and all paid upgrades for ravaged calculation?

Ex: A unit of 10 infantry w/ full command that's been reduced to 2 warriors is not worth the same as the full strength unit, correct? You calculate the gold value of the units as they are at the end of the hour?

I'll be honest, I can't see where this is murky:

"Any host that has less than 25% of its warriors remaining on the field in terms of Gold cost (not including allied warriors or sell-swords) has been ravaged..."

It's 25% of the the host's Gold cost, not including allies or sell-swords. So, in your example, 25% of 1,000 gold, so 250 gold.

Correct. That's why it says "warriors" not "units", of course!
