For those that have been following the discussion. Last night I ran a few
simulations with the version 1.0 (good enough for this).
It comes up with 6x% left (Wo) (x between 2-7%) with the complete accurate
information
from both sides. With no fortifications 5y% (Wo) left (y between 3-8) - ie
similar figures to those being quoted. In both cases the DrLord army is
destroyed.
So I ran a back-up copy without any fortifications @2715 at all. The
Attacking woodmen army wins then (dies in combat against the PC btw) but
beats up the army. Changing the battle to a 230 order rather than a 255
order (still no fortifications) leaves:
Woodmen with 3z% left (z between 0-5) of the troops. (Rather than the 5y%
that the emulator shows). (DrL army destroyed.)
(Note a re-run of the battle with 230 orders, fortifications intact leads to
the Woodmen army still losing against the Dragon Lord army the DrL ending up
with EXACTLY the same army at the end of the battle).
So my conclusion is that the emulator does not properly bring into
calculations the Fortifications. Nor does it accurately represent combat
with armies - but close enough to be usable. As an aside we don't have
access to the information directly here, so are unable to provide it. I
would guesstimate that the values of 5-10% Constitution add per
fortifications are more accurate than those that might have been put
forward.
Further to this we have not amended, altered or anyway affected the result
of the combat here. Enjoy, have fun, and help make it fun for others.
