Royal Knights injured faster than non-defensive troops?

Those numbers seem a little far apart, but the gap is justified by the mechanics. Lets start with the fundamentals of how battle mechanics work.

Terminology: losses = injured + killed

• Your initial losses are calculated based on dragons and allies (including research), you versus them
• The loss caps and toughness are applied next
  • The loss caps were introduced after beta to prevent extreme numbers of losses in certain edge cases, these have roll over implications on the general battle mechanics for losses
• The losses for each side are calculated based on a "hidden numbers" but basically both sides' losses are scaled proportionally to how much the side that needed to be scaled down is scaled down.

Attacker power on the left in white and losses in purple (abstract)

• If one sides Dragon and Ally bonus is higher than the other, then they take additional losses because toughness is treated as only being 2x higher than the other side's while power scales all the way up.

A combination of all of these affect the scenario you described in the original post.

 

Basically, what I believe is happening, is that losses is proportional to the total strength of the defense/offense. The 800k knights seem like they are getting injured more because they provide more defense (About three times as much strength). Don’t think loss/wins affect troop loss rate either.

My tests:
50k knights (9 mil def) Vs. 9 mil attack: 3,703 injured
50k huntress (3 mil def) Vs. 3 mil attack: 1,235 injured
150k huntress (9 mil def) Vs. 9 mil attack: 3,704 injured

So basically, troop amount has nothing to do with rate of injury

 

You are missing the fact (without seeing more detailed analysis of what the actual battle reports are) that I believe the 3700 is your max los cap for your encounter that you described. Your 9mil def versus someone else's Xmil attack. If you look at the excel spreedsheet I posted above along with my bullet points that it makes sense that you would, if capped, have the same number of total losses despite the difference in troop counts (50k knights versus 150 hunts at 9mil defence).

 

Battle mechanics in this game are weird. And there is a lot of things that effect them. I agree they were poorly and complicatedly done and I have spend probably hundreds of hours in discussion with devs over the two years I played this game to get them to change certain things.

 

All women are queens.

 

While I know my explanation is definetely too simple and yours is probably correct, in my tests, I simply attacked just barely enough to win (basically same attack as defense; edits for more clarity on original post). I as well tested it after (attack with much higher strength) and those numbers are not the caps of losses. I as well removed my dragons from wall, but I didn’t sell allies or factor research into account.

In my tests, I believe loss is scaled based on enemy strength in the attack, plus the other factors you described.

And for Multiplat, I don’t know exactly what tests you used, but I am assuming that what you did was attack 800k royal knights (let’s say 150 mil def) with 150mil attack and 800k trophy huntress (let’s say 50 mil def) with 50 mil def. if you didn’t, then please let us know and with more detail about your experiment.

What I am proposing towards your concern is that knights do not injure faster than huntresses/pugs. Instead, you are just being attacking the knights with more force, which means that more knights should in turn be injured more.

Another test:
50k huntress (3mil def) Vs. 3mil attack: 1148 injured
50k knights (9mil def) Vs. 3 mil attack: 1142 injured

 

Ye pvp in this game is broken that’s all I can say...
