New year, New Master of Magic! v1.5 fan patch

[Nelphine]

The hit points left over can be related to the modified strategic combat system damage distribution; however, under the original version, the AI could defeat those lairs with a lot LESS units. Strategic combat is simply not really comparable to tactical combat. If you go into the Caster of Magic Forums, we have a 40 page thread about strategic combat and how we can try to fix it, but basically, there isn't space to fix it. I know all of the 1.x version don't have modifications for balance, which means that the AI is simply going to walk a way with a lot of wins due units in strategic being very badly off balance. The worst was in original 1.31, you could watch the AI defeat sky drakes with spearmen.
