In the projectilestats.txt-file in your M:TW folder. The file is a bit hard to interpret, so you will need an editor. Personally, I use the Gnome editor.

Combat is resolved on a soldier by soldier basis: everytime a soldiers strikes another a comparision is made between the attack and defence factors to determine the chance to kill. A soldier can attack only once during a combat round but can receive multiple attacks.

df = Attack - defence (including armour) + bonus (charge, height, fatigue, facing, etc.)

Chance to kill = 19% * 1.2^df
(This means 1.2 to the power of the df.)

I think a similar calculation is made for missile attack, but then the armour value is used instead of the defence value. I hope this answered your question.

thanks (-; , makes a bit sense now (-;

Another great one :) You rock froggy!

This guide is pure gold for beginner and even more for intermediate. It loses some of its shine for beyond that, but then again people beyond that dont need guides of others; they can well write their own.

Thank you for the effort.

:bow:

I am a beginner, and find this guide invaluable.

I joined this forum to ask for a unit guide/unit statistics guide and found this gem before I could even ask the question. Now I can finally see which units (Billmen, Longbowmen, Hobilars and Gallowglasses are my favourites) have the best attack/defence. Once I get a new videocard I might even be able to play the game!

Welcome to the .Org, DocXerxes! ~:wave:

This guide has brought may people to the .Org, myself included. Good luck with getting MTW running again (ATI ftw!). :bow:

Don't go for too new a video card - the game has issues with any GeForce cards 8xxx and newer (7600/7800/7900 still seem to work) and any Radeon cards newer than the x800/x850 generation. I've seen reports of one generation newer AMD/ATI cards working, but the ones that do require the "button fix".

Perfect.

Thank you frogbeastegg!

Whenever I revisit the game I always take a peek at this and your Guide to refresh my memory; and more often than I care to admit I learn something new :)

I somehow only discovered this now... 12 years after it has been posted.

Nevertheless, fantastic stuff. Thank you Froggy. Off to play MTW. :bow:

What is missing for new player is the buildings which are required to make specific unit.
