poison problem !

Grunt-rush strategies can be balanced off by increasing the price of cheap L0 or L1 units. In general, a unit that is twice as expensive should be -a bit more than twice- as powerful. Why? Because the fact remains that two units can always occupy more ground than one, act as ZOA blockers over a far wider area, and so on.

For example:

elvish grunt cost x
elvish boss cost 2x

if two grunts can just about take on one boss, then the grunt price should be x + c, where c is to compensate for all the bonuses that you get for having two units instead of just one - more choice of attack options, more village occupying potential, more zone coverage, more search coverage, etc.

Bats used carefully (i.e. attack at night when they're off hills/mountains) should be able to beat ulfserkers.

4-4 & 40 LP 30% hits (eg grasland) VS 5-2 16 LP 50%

VERY UNLIKELY

You forgot Drain completely. The bats get average 2.8 HP each round.

So, 4-4=16 * 50% =8 -2.8 drained =5.2 avg dam for 'serkers
5-2=10 * 70% =7 avg dam for bats

bat hp=16
serker HP ~= 35
bat down in 4 rounds and serker in 5; bat costs 13 to serker's 18, so advantage to Undead.

No more tables . Eventhough i think they were not that incomprehensible.

Those tables are incomprehensible to me, you never get decimals in an attack (certainly not THREE), and you're the one bullshitting here IMO.

I trust Elvish Pillager more until you post something more understandable than a list of " Bat Uff 3-decimal number ".

Oh, and the spelling is Ulfzerker. gahh. Annoying.

your tables make no sense at all. Why are there 2 numbers at every attack? What is the difference between the 2 tables?

Yeah I don't understand them either.

Also you're ignoring blood bats. You can afford to waste a few normal bats because the one that does succeed will level and blood bats really lay waste to ulfzerkers.
