Manual says (p. 42) :

(...)

Is it 5% (or 8%) of the :
- theoretical number of men ?
- actual total number of men of the unit at the start of the game ?
- or current number of men of the unit at a given turn ?

In the case of a P&S unit (500 men) that had 510 men at the start of the game and has already lost 110 men at turn 7, is it :
- 5% of 510 = 26 casualties ?
- 5% of 500 = 25 casualties ?
- 5% of 400 = 20 casualties ?


I looked at the code but did not get it.

Code: Select all

                            if (reason == 0) // Shooting
                                {
                                    Log("M State, Shooting morale damage this turn", morale_state, GetAttribArray(me, "MoraleDamageFromShooting", GetCurrentSide()));
                                    if (GetAttribArray(me, "MoraleDamageFromShooting", GetCurrentSide()) <= 500)
                                        {
                                            test = 0; // No test
                                        }
                                }

• to have an approximate idea of when the CT is triggered depending on the shot unit

• to know whether the number from which the 5 or 8 % were calculated was constant or decreasing. If they were calculated from the actual number of men who are still alive at the time of the shooting (400 in my example), the shooting unit would have more and more chance to cause CTs, as the enemy units lose more and more men over the course of the battle (assuming the shooting unit remained intact of course). This number is constant.
