Trample & Splash Attacks
- Trample damage is treated equally to melee / range attacks. It might in fact have the same attack type modifiers. Usually trample damage is expressed in numbers (how much damage to each unit) and combined with attack types like stun or knockdown.
- Splash is just deflected damage done by a normal melee / range / siege attack. It is expressed in radius, the strength in the center of the attack, the strength at the edges of the "splash" and a number indicating the speed at which the "splash shockwave" expands from the center to its edges.
attack types
Just trying to understand the percentage attacks.
So if a unit with 14 piercing attack attacks a heavy armoured unit this in effect reduces his attack to 80% of 14 or 11 attack?
Another example.....an upgraded desert walker with skilled attack (glass bolts?) attacking an Elder Salamader would be 8 attack @ 50% for a measly end result of 4 attack total?
Wow, if thats the case those units are a waste of time (attacking) in the later game, just pure cannon fodder...i can see where battle micro comes into it now.
