Whoa, it's not even getting the mounted units bonus.
 
not injured, u can see 3 units

injured unit is like my knight next to their phalanx (showing 2 units instead of 3)
 
maybe the 100% vs mounted only works on offense? Given that the phalanx is being attacked (and is therefore defensive) its ignoring it? I wasnt aware of that, maybe its a bug? Does it affect phalanx only or does it also affect spearmen/pikemen?

Ahhh, forgot about that (I play with single units).

Are you using any mods?

Do you have a game save?

Can you reproduce it?

Sorry about all the q's, I couldn't reproduce that result so I'm curious of the cause.
 
Yeah, I found that curiously the spearman would half the mounted unit's strength instead of doubling the spearman's health.
But yeah, that's probably a bug. Did the spearman live? or at least do really good damage to the knight?
 
of cos spearman died, 10 vs 5.5 is really overhelming. sorry i dont have save game, but there is no mod, except blue marble
 
Read the combat explained thread.

Bonuses for attacking units that are specific to the defender are instead subtracted from the defender bonus (and potentially divided by). It's not as accurate as applying the strengths correctly would be. I believe Firaxis is already aware of this. Potential solutions have also been presented, by BomberEscort.
