Ground Combat

Ground combat is when one player drops Clans on a planet controlled by another player. the clans will battle with each other for control of the planet. Each Race is given a combat and defense ratio. The number of clans combined with these ratios and the planets defenses are weighed and the victory is awarded. A successful defense allows the defending player to retain control of the planet. a successful attack allows the attacker to gain control and thus capture the planet. Both sides should receive a message on the following turn as to the results of the ground combat battle.

  • If both the attackers and defenders Clans are both eliminated, the attacker will receive a report of taking control of the planet, but without any Clans leftover the planet becomes unowned.

Ground Combat formulas and tools

  • The VGAP3 Host can configure the ground attack and defense factors of all Races, while at Planets.Nu Host config is standardized
  • Every 20 defense outposts adds an additional point of Ground Combat multiplier to the planets default 1.
  • Some Races have Ground Combat multipliers:

- Lizard: x30 attacking, x15 defending

- Fascist: x15 attacking, x5 defending

  • Formula: attack points - defense points

Example] 100 Lizard Clans dropping onto a planet with 100 Robot Clans and 25 Defense Posts;

100-LizClans x 30 = 3000

100-RoboClans x [1 + (25/20)] = 225


Liz win! Now to calculate how many LizClans survived;

3000 - 255 = 2775

RoundUp(2775 / 30) = 93 LizClans
