Summary

Currently melee troops inflict more damage when promoting to a higher rank, but ranged troops don't:

          melee , ranged
basic   : 1     , 1
advanced: 1.2   , 1
elite   : 1.44  , 1
champion: 2     , 2
hero    : 4     , 4

The advanced and elite each get −20% spread, though.
This patch gives ranged troops +10% attack damage, however, it reduces champion and hero attack damage, making them proportional:

  ranged damage, spread
basic   : 1    , 1
advanced: 1.1  , 0.8
elite   : 1.21 , 0.64
champion: 1.5  , 0.4
hero    : 2    , 0.2

While at it, also gave all javelineers the same reload time (champion infantry javelineers had 1 s instead of 1.25 s).

Test Plan

Check for typos, agree it's an improvement.

Much better for consistency, my idea is to have champions more like citizen units, but stronger of course. No idea how affects balance, i will test.

Ranged units already dominate gameplay and this would make it worse. If we really want consistency then either ranged units need an overall nerf or this needs to be removed from melee units.

I'm not sure if +20% attack is more effective than range + accuracy. I will do the tests later, anyway this value can be less for ranged units, like 15% or 10%.

borg- added a comment.EditedDec 28 2020, 10:57 PM

Really +20% is out of the question, mainly for high dps units like javelin.
I also tested it with 10% and it seems a little more acceptable, but it is still not a good number, so we will have to do it another way, maybe without attack gains, just health and armor.

Why remove the spread? When an archer improves it gets better at aiming, so removing spread reduction sounds really strange.

Currently, spread and ranged bonus are almost imperceptible, so giving 20% attack is fairer, but it makes ranged units much stronger.

No, I'm not arguing ranged units must have the same modifications as melee units. However, there should be consistency between ranged units. Currently champion archers and javelineers already inflict twice the damage as their basic counterparts, therefore it makes sense that advanced and elite have damage increases too; hence this patch.
One way to compensate would be limiting the resistance increases to melee only (+15% health and +1 resistance is equivalent to +28% health).

The current spread reduction is not very large and partially offsets the range increase, which is removed (it doesn't make sense champions have less range than their elite counterparts). Moreover, +20% damage and −10% spread together is stronger than what.

I like +10% damage with −15% spread, but in that case ranged champion damage ought to be reduced from 2× to 1.5× that of basic troops, and ranged heroes ought to inflict proportionally less damage too.

As well as health needs to be changed. Champion units have more health than +20% phase +20% phase +10% advance +10% elite and +10% champion (following logic).

borg- added a comment.Jan 6 2021, 2:04 AM

Well, it doesn't seem to make sense to gain range for range units. It is also not possible to give extra attack to units without a good nerf, so remove extra range, keep accuracy gain and give a small attack speed (5%) seems to be more realistic.

(seems this needs changes)

I would probably like a spread bonus more, but it needs to be substantial (CS archer have spread 3 which is huge, vs 1 for champions which is still rather large all in all).

Yes, it does. However, it'll have to be rebased again if D3315 is committed, so I'll probably wait for that, if you don't mind.

How about what I wrote earlier:

I like +10% damage with −15% spread, but in that case ranged champion damage ought to be reduced from 2× to 1.5× that of basic troops, and ranged heroes ought to inflict proportionally less damage too.

which would work out to:

          range, spread
basic   : 1    , 1
advanced: 1.1  , 0.85
elite   : 1.21 , 0.72
champion: 1.5  , 0.5

I like the idea of %10% attack and increase accuracy, but a nerf for ranged units like 5% / 10% is necessary.

Ranged units are supposed to die quickly and avoid melee, so I think they should no longer get resistance increases, but I'm unsure whether to include it in this patch.

It's pending on whether it's acceptable to lower ranged champion and hero attack damage; see earlier post.

borg- added a comment.Jan 14 2021, 5:49 PM

Yes, I like that idea, with that the 20% attack increase can be balanced. Armor of champions ranged must also be changed.

Nescio added a comment.EditedJan 14 2021, 6:21 PM

Now I'm confused. The current situation for ranged soldiers is:

        damage , spread ; resistance
basic   : 1    , 3      ; 1
advanced: 1    , 2.7    ; 2
elite   : 1    , 2.43   ; 3
champion: 2    , 1      ; 5
hero    : 4    , 0.5    ; 8

Now let's list a few competing suggestions:
(A) Initial patch, give advanced and elite +20% attack damage each, without spread improvements; leave champions and heroes unchanged:

        damage , spread ; resistance
basic   : 1    , 3      ; 1
advanced: 1.2  , 3      ; 2
elite   : 1.44 , 3      ; 3
champion: 2    , 1      ; 5
hero    : 4    , 0.5    ; 8

(B) Give advanced and elite +20% attack damage each, without spread improvements, but remove their resistance increases:

        damage , spread ; resistance
basic   : 1    , 3      ; 1
advanced: 1.2  , 3      ; 1
elite   : 1.44 , 3      ; 1
champion: 2    , 1      ; 3
hero    : 4    , 0.5    ; 6

(C) Give advanced and elite +10% attack damage and −20% spread each, weaken champions and heroes accordingly:

        damage , spread ; resistance
basic   : 1    , 3      ; 1
advanced: 1.1  , 2.4    ; 2
elite   : 1.21 , 1.92   ; 3
champion: 1.5  , 1      ; 5
hero    : 2    , 0.6    ; 8

(D) Give advanced and elite +15% attack damage and −25% spread each, remove resistance increases, and weaken champions and heroes accordingly:

        damage , spread ; resistance
basic   : 1    , 3      ; 1
advanced: 1.15 , 2.25   ; 1
elite   : 1.32 , 1.6875 ; 1
champion: 1.75 , 1      ; 3
hero    : 2.66 , 0.4    ; 6

(E) Something else.
I'd highly appreciate feedback from @ValihrAnt, @wraitii, and others as well.

borg- added a comment.EditedJan 14 2021, 7:09 PM

the "D" is the most consistent between citizen and champions.
To increase attack for ranged soldiers a health nerf or armor is required. Option D does this.

The same logic should apply to the attack / attack rate of the melee champions. 20% +20% +20% and remove same attack rate of citizens.

Ranged units are supposed to deal damage, I think increasing the resistance makes limited sense. An expert bowman is no more protected against swords than a beginner (the same isn't _quite_ true of melee units).
I think the Range bonus is irrelevant, and agree with removing it.

Reducing ranged champion resistance seems fair to me (more consistent with CS).


I don't really have comments on their actual firepower, but spread needs to be reworked IMO. Remember that spread is "normal deviation at 100 meters".
CS Archers have spread 3, but their range is 70, which means a 'real' spread of ~2. CS Javs have a spread of 4 but a max range of 30, meaning their 'real' spread is a lot closer to ~1. Meaning javelins have an effective DPS that's close to twice as good as what the raw numerical value implies (in situations with a lot of units, this is maybe a little less true, but not by much).

Because of that, I think CS archers are much less useful than CS javelins, and the two units are really not equivalent at all. The same does _not_ apply to champions, where a spread of 1 is about 100% hit rate anyways.

I would actually suggest making the spread of CS archers about 2, and the spread of javelineers about 5, giving them a more equivalent effective spread. At that point, they probably no longer need a 'spread' bonus.


Then possibly increasing the attack per rank?

So something like (D) but with spread reworked.

Already done in D3297/rP24539.

Yes, I know, @fatherbushido once explained to me on the forums how spread works.

I fully agree spread values need to be changed, but I'm unsure what would be appropiate values.
Moreover, if a basic javelineer has double the spread of an archer, then a champion javelineer ought to have double the spread of a champion archer, in my opinion.

So something like (D) but with spread reworked.

Do you think it's better to do spread in a separate patch (and update this one afterwards) or do you prefer to include it here, making this one more complicated?

I guess a separate patch would be nice, this is rather unrelated and I'm not sure we should merge it for A24 (I'd rather ranged units be not too strong, and this still buffs them).

A fairer and safe value would be 10%, since the decrease of 1 point of armor is like 11%

Here you go: D3374.

borg- added a comment.Jan 19 2021, 5:46 PM

With the reduction of armor for advanced / elite ranged units, I believe a value of +10% attack is welcome.

And lower champion attack damage accordingly?
There's also a patch improving their accuracy: D3374

We don’t have more time to test, and I believe that the changes in the champions take time to test, so I think it’s better to remove the champions from the patch, sorry about that.

borg- added a comment.EditedFeb 25 2021, 1:52 PM

Well, now we have time haha.
I did some tests and in general it looks good, but the damage of iber champion fire should be increased a little.
Obviously, some changes will be made to melee units over the course of the a25 development, so it doesn't seem risky to give 10% attack to ranged advance / elite units now.
