Quechua can't get city garrison! So I'm disallowing that, nice try though.

 

[Matthew5117]

Shoot, gotta take away that edit, hope no one saw...

Edit: There took away that edit, if I can still answer, I'll post it in a spoiler, however if not, don't look at it!

Spoiler :

Bowman instead of a Quecha and Axeman instead of an archer... Bowman gets +50% on cities, +25% on hills (or the other way around...) and +50% vs. melee units. Is this right?

 

[r_rolo1]

I can beat that Too bad that it is my turn of being quiet

 

[ParadigmShifter]

That was my answer (in Matthew's spoiler) so you are up next!

Rolo what was yours?

My answer was:

Bowman in a hill city with +125 defence (Chichen Itza, defence seems capped at 125) vs a barb warrior across a river on settler difficulty with CG3, Guerilla2, Shock, and fortified with +25.

There might be a better one involving anti tank on a forested hill fort facing a tank attacking from a boat, but the barb bonus won't apply then.

What, you mean you don't get amphibious barbarian tank invasions?

 

[ParadigmShifter]

No, only amphibious war elephants when I use the Attacko barbarians mod.

 

[Matthew5117]

In what situation can you have the highest combat odds? If this has been asked already (I don't remember), someone else can ask...

Btw, first strikes are excluded because they can not be calculated.

 

[r_rolo1]

My answer to the question before this would be: the highest valid answer + atacking from a ship

 

[ParadigmShifter]

I ruled out barbs attacking from a boat but I saw a screenshot of a galley dropping off barbs before.

 

[r_rolo1]

Yup, it happens. But it is quite uncommon.

About this question: Spanish bear vs barbarian Mod. Armour in Chieftain as first fight. 100 %

 

[Matthew5117]

Nope. Just pretend there's no max precentage...

 

[r_rolo1]

Just 2 clarifications:
-Are we talking of displayed odds?
-Are we assuming full health units?

 

[Matthew5117]

Um... displayed odds except pretend 100% isn't the max.

Maybe I could phrase it like this:
What is the biggest difference you can have between two unit's strength? This includes promotions, units special abilities and the terrain.

And yes, full health units.

 

[Turquoiside]

38? Promotions can equalized so......

 

[Matthew5117]

Nope. If no one answers correctly by tomorrow morning, I will give a clue.

 

[DroopyTofu]

Tomorrow morning when, on Alpha Centauri?
I really have no idea as to the answer, so I'll just through something out. 563%, with a Mod. Armor vs. Barb Warrior. That is my contribution for the question. Did I get it right?!?

 

[Matthew5117]

Ha ha, very funny.

Spoiler :

No, that's wrong. Sorry to ruin your dreams.

Yeah, I don't see why I couldn't do it now:

The two units are a Mechanized Infantry and a Warrior.
The Mechanized Infantry sits on a forested hill and a Warrior sits on a city in the desert.

Now, you just have to figure out the promotions.

 

[JujuLautre]

The terrain from which the units attacks is useless.

Otherwise:
- combat 1-6
- City raider 1-3
- shock
- city garrison 3

I know MA cannot get shock or CG 3, but it can get another +10% with barrage I believe.
Which makes:
Mech inf: 32*1.75 against 2/2.1 (factor 58.8)
MA: 40*1.75 against 2/1.85 (factor 64.75)

 

[Tephros]

too late, but still funny - max body count = 9*15 = 135:

LOL. I guess the no cargo rule wasn't important after all. That's awesome.

 

[DanF5771]

Yeah, the railroads do the trick!
