Army bonuses?

[player1 fanatic]

How big bonus on attack and defense get units in armies (with and without Mil. Academy)?
I can't seam to find exact numbers.

I think it's something weird like: 25% to all armies once the Acad has been built, even if the army was not built there?

Units in an army gets 1/6 (1/4 with MA) of the total sum of A/D in the army. This will also affect defence bouns.

Army of 4 warrior will have raw defence value of 1 + 4 * 1/4 = 2.
On hills that will be 2 * (1 + 0.5) = 3.

Army of 4 warrior will have raw defence value of 1 + 4 * 1/4 = 2.

Well that would be with the Military academy, of course.

Simply :
- if you don't have the military academy, add all the attack values of the units in your army, and divide it by 6. That's the bonus your army has on attack. Do the same for defense.
- if you do have the military academy, add all the attack values of the units in your army, and divide it by 4, you've got your attack bonus. Do the same for defense.

Now let's say you've got an army of four cavs, 6 attack and 3 defense.

Without the military academy : (6+6+6+6)/6 = 4 attack bonus
(3+3+3+3)/6 = 2 defense bonus.
So your army will have an attack of 6+4 = 10 and a defense of 3+2 = 5.

With the military academy : (6+6+6+6)/4 = 6 attack bonus
(3+3+3+3)/4 = 3 defense bonus
Your army will have an attack of 6+6 = 12 and a defense of 3+3 = 6.

Plus armies have blitz attack (can attack as much as they have units in said army), free pillage (costs no movement points), and heal faster in C3C that in other versions of the game...

Yes, they kind of rock.

Hope that clarifies !
