I read the article Combat Explained which explained how the combat works and give me lots of help to value the promotions. http://www.civfanatics.com/civ4/strategy/combat_explained.php
but i found a strange result in doing some tests aboout collateral damage.
a catapult vs a axeman (90hp). based on the theory, every hit the catapult take in the combat will cause 21hp damage. 21=floor(20*(3*5+4.5)/(5+3*4.5))=floor(21.081081...)=21. but the combat log showed the axeman is hit for 20 everytime.
the same thing happened when a catapult with barrage promotion causing collateral damage.
the catapult with barrageI,II should cause 12hp to the swordsman but i showed 11hp.
the catapult with barrageI,II,III should cause 14hp but 13hp showed in combat log.
however, it showed 20hp in the htm form combat caculator. as i know, the article is based on the vanilla 1.09 and the caculator is based on warlords. so has it changed in the bts 3.13 or something else caused this floating problem?
thank you!
