Actually, now that I think about it, any nation could have gone for hardcore land power just like I did in Hungary. My troops are all second rate; I don't have any kind of unit advantage. Unless I started out with more maybe. I don't see any reason for any nation other than England, which cannot be attacked by land, to invest in naval forces early on in either game.

The amphibious attack modifier reduces the combat strength by the applicable percentage of the attacking combat strength, it is not a straight subtraction as your example postulates. A Peasant Rabble in an amphibious attack would attack at 9.1% combat strength (30% of 13 = 3.9; 13 -3.9 = 9.1).

Originally posted by buffalobillSuppose a unit has a combat of 50%. I had thought that on an amphibious attack, the unit would hit with a 20% combat. However, according to no1Hussein, the unit would have an effective combat of 35%. Why? Because 30% of 50% is 15%. 50% - 15% = 35%.
Read what you wrote again. I don't get the difference.
EDIT - I wonder what this means for my British Marines? 2 attacks at 22% + 10% bonus to combat in naval battles. So is that:
32/32
27/27
24/24
23/23
Anyone know?

Your marines would attack at 24.2/24.2
Of course they will be met on the beach by vastly superior forces and will be slaughtered. Sounds like a wise plan to me.

Originally posted by HalitoseRob and ATY have tried, but they really suck at it. No one has a psychotic fixation on anybody else in this game (at least one that has been revealed), so the viciousness might have to wait until some wars break out. If you wish, you may sneak attack Algeria and insult Mayharm to get the ball rolling.
I miss the goading of the "medieval diplomacy" thread. Where's knightwulfe when you need him?!
