Battle Notes
Written by PshyMorphic

General:

Armies:

Each player has only one army (or one general however you like to see it).
The army consists of various groups of warriors depending on race.
The size of each group depends on what the player trained.

Defending your kingdom:

At all times your whole army will defend your kingdom! The defender will not be able to choose only groups to defend his kingdom!
You have to set a limit to the losses you are prepared to take when you are attacked. This will be a percentage of the total health of all your warriors.
While defending your kingdom, you will flee from the battle and accept defeat if you lose more health than you have set. (see above)
Default will be 10% of the HP of your army.

Attacking a kingdom:

When planning a battle the attacker can select which group of warriors to send to battle.
The attacker can only send the whole troup to battle.
The attacker can also choose how much of his army he is prepared to lose in the upcomming battle.

Protection by the Gods:

The Gods does not like battering of the weak or unfair fights!
The Gods protect players in two ways:
Firstly, a player would only be allowed to attack someone in a score range of 10k up and down of him.
Secondly, a kingdom that has lost more than 40% of its army in 24 hours will be placed under protection for 24 hours.
A person under protection would not be allowed to attack or be attacked.
Neither will he be allowed to cast spells or spells be casted on him!

Attributes:

Strength: Damage a warrior can inflict on its target.

Armor: Percentage of the damage a warrior can absorb without losing health.

Health: Damage a warrior can absorb before dying.

Move speed: Speed at which the warriors can move.

Range: Warriors' ability to attack over a distance.
1 -> Close combat
2-3 -> Short range
4-6 -> Long range

Terrain types:

Right now it would be difficult to incorporate the terrain types.

Attack types:

Will work on this later, check back at some other time!

The Battle system:

Start of the Battle:

The total number of health for each side is calculated and stored.
The warriors are lined up at the edge of the battlefield.
The armies start 50 blocks away from each other.

The Turns:

Check who is in range:
Before moving each group will see if there is an enemy group in range to attack. If so they will stay stationary, otherwise they will move closer.
Move:
Each group of warriors move closer to the enemy. There is no center of the battlefield. So if one player has faster units than the other, the battle will start more towards the slower player.

Check who is in range again:
Each group check again if any enemy units are in range. If not then the group will not take part in the next few sections.

Striking
Each group of warriors will attempt to strike all units in their range.
The potential damage is spread out evenly among the targeted units by number and not size!

Blocking
The total damage dealt to a group will be calculated.
The group will then be able to block a certain percentage of the damage dealt to them. This percentage is determined by the Armor rating of the group.

Damage Dealing
Damage that was not blocked will be dealt to the group.
The number of deaths in the group are calculated by dividing the total damage dealt to the group (after blocking) by the Health rating of the group.
The total deaths are subtracted from the group numbers.
If the whole group is dead they will be removed from the list.

Check health of armies:
The total health of each army is determined.
The battle is terminated if one of the players has reached the fleeing point they have set before hand!

End of the Battle:

The loser is the party who fled first.
If both parties flee after at the end of a turn, the person who lost the most is the loser, not the person farthest from the target he set!
If the attacker wins he will take the loot he came for, depending on attack type.

Battle Example:

Defender: PshyMorphic
Defender Flee Percentage: 25% losses
Defender Warriors (Name number Str/Arm/Hp/AS/R):
PshyA 300 5/5/5/4/1 (Weak, Fast moving, close range warrior)
PshyB 200 15/10/20/3/2 (Average, Normal speed, short range warrior)
PshyC 100 20/5/15/3/5 (Average, Normal speed, long range warrior)
PshyD 50 30/50/40/2/1 (Strong, Slow moving, short range warrior)
Defender Total Health: (300*5)+(200*20)+(100*15)+(50*40) = 9k Hp
Defender Flee Cutoff: 9k * (1-0.25) = 6750

Attacker: RazM
Attacker Flee Percentage: 30% losses
Attacker Warriors (Name number Str/Arm/Hp/AS/R):
RazMA 400 10/5/5/3/1 (Weak, Normal Speed, Close range warrior)
RazMB 200 10/15/20/3/2 (Average, Normal Speed, Short range warrior)
RazMC 100 20/15/10/3/6 (Average, Normal Speed, Long Range Warrior)
RazMD 75 40/30/30/2/1 (Strong, Slow speed, Close Range Warrior)
Attacker Total Health: (400*5)+(200*20)+(100*10)+(75*30) = 9250
Attacker Flee Cutoff: 9250 * (1-0.3) = 6475
