Changes to Fort Battles

In Version 2.05.1, when the Independence Day event is released, there will be two changes to fort battles. Firstly, the influence of stamina, hiding and leadership will be increased in the aiming and dodging calculations. Secondly, two new formulas will be introduced that incorporate damage and resistance into fort battles.

Aiming & Dodging

Currently player skills are taken with an exponent of 0.4. This means that for each additional point placed in leadership, stamina, hiding, aiming or dodging, the less impact it has than the point before. In this update, the exponent will be increased to 0.6 for stamina and hiding in addition to 0.5 for leadership (Note: aiming and dodging have not been buffed!). This means players will receive a higher bonus at greater skill levels. The rest of the formula, shown below has not changed.

Leadership<sup>0.5</sup> + Skill 2<sup>0.4</sup> + Skill 3<sup>0.6</sup> + Sector Attack Bonus or Sector Defense Bonus + Special Bonuses + Default Bonus

Where:

Skill 2 is Aim or Dodge
Skill 3 is Stamina or Hiding
Sector Attack Bonus is the aim bonuses provided by the structures (if any)
Sector Defense Bonus is the dodge bonuses provided by the structures (if any)
Special Bonuses are additional bonuses provided by structures (i.e. Tower Class Bonus)
Default Bonus is 25 when Aiming and 10 when Dodging

Damage & Resistance

Two new formulas will be added to the game. These are for damage and resistance.

Damage: WeaponDamage + (WeaponDamage * Leadership / TotalHP)
Resistance: (1200 / TotalHP) * (Stamina OR Hiding)<sup>0.5</sup>

Players will hit slightly more damage on average. For HP tanks this will be an unnoticeable amount, but players with low health will notice some 400 point hits.
Players with very low health, primarily those below level 110, will take less damage. (This may be overlooked due to the stronger possibility to increase damage, but it is there and working).

Consequences

Overall, health will still be the primary skill for fort battles. This has not changed. However, players with high skills already will notice they perform slightly better. The most obvious change will be the increased damage for these players – standing on a class tower will still trump having a bucket load of stamina and leadership.
