With Civ 5, I remember a chart in Steam community that show how many damage your unit will deal according to a ratio of your power/their power. Now it is a bit confusing. I made several test yesterday but I can't figure out the math behind the damage mechanism.

I ask this question because now bonus seems to be "weak". I mean hill gives a +5 defense. Not something proportional like 25%. It is really hard to tell now if a 20 power unit is really better than a 10 power unit or a a 18 power unit. Sometimes I can deal a tremendous amount of damage to units that have only 3 or 4 less strength points. Sometimes a unit will twice less powerful seems to be hard to kill. It's clear that combat system is totally different from Civ 5. It seems that combat ratio doesn't fit into the math behind the damage mechanism anymore.

I really need to understand the mechanism of combat in order to conduct a proper and well developed warmonger strategy.
