Loss after collective defence
Hi everybody !
I'm slightly surprised by a recent battle result we had with a friend.
We made a collective defence, both of us having sent 6M of def. Before the attack, I use a +20% boost and parangon (lvl 9, +5% boost). As a result, he had 6M def and I had 7.5M def.
He lost 2.8% of his troops and I lost 3.45% of mine. I thus lost 25% more troops...
I would have imagined that the outcome of the battle is determined as follows:
Our def vs the attacker off and a fraction of loss computed as a function of (total def)/(total def+total off).
Then, we should have lost a percentage of our `apparent def', say 3%. This would have represented 3% of my friends units and (3/1.25)% of mine.
But this is actually the opposite which happened so I expect that what happened is the following: a fraction of loss is computed as a function of (total def)/(total def+total off). Then it is applied to our total army to determine the total number of each units that die. The ratio of losses among us is a proportional to our share of the def. Mine being bigger, I got a bigger share of the loss.
If that is indeed the case, then it is really a rubbish algorithm, since using boosts makes you lose more troops ! Plarium, please fix this !!!
