In Warlords v2.08, the computer attacked my capital of Athens with 1 Cav, 7 Riflemen, and 1 Trebuchet. I initially had 80% as a city defense factor. Well, I think the computer is either cheating, or something weird is going on, because with 9 vs. 5 defenders (4 riflemen and 1 grenadier), it always takes out all my guys. (actually the last time it had 1 cav, 4 rifile attackers dead, and 3 of my 5 guys dead, with the 2 remaining only have < 3 hit points).
This is my first Warlords game (I've been playing Civ4 since it came out), and I'm not used to an attacker sweeping away people in a defended city so easily.
I looked at the combat log after it was over, and for all the initial battles, it was a 4% chance or so of victory in the first 5 battles, but my defenders would lose 80% of their hit points before the attacker went down, and then the other attackers would take out my defenders. It seemed to me as if they were hitting my guys 2x or 3x as much as I was damaging them.
One entry in the combat log said something like (attacker: 18.xxx vs defender 21.xxx) but gave him a 57% chance of victory.
I've got the save files I can post, but I'm not sure how. I'll try the attachments button. Forget that, it's 569 KB, and zipped it's 511 KB.
What gives ?
Thanks,
Jeff
I think I'll upgrade to v2.13 and see what happens...
