Caster of Magic II Bug Reports!

[Seravy]

Those are dark elf swordsmen. They are all ranged.
According to the log file, they deal 8.5 damage with their ranged attacks per turn. That seems reasonable - there are 7 attacking units and each has 4-6 figures. (also Earth Elementals have pretty bad defense, 4 without, 6 with the node aura)
This happens for 5 turns (again, reasonable, Earth Elementals have only 1 movement).
Afterwards they start using melee on each other, however by then the elementals took 43 damage and an additional 13 from the first melee attack so by the time they can attack they have 56 damage, in other words, two of the three already died.  The last one stands no chance against 7 other units.
This is the log :

The only line I find strange is "5.81133806791766 HP disabled due to flying damage prevention." because there shouldn't be flying units in the fight. Maybe it's a problem caused by dealing more damage than left on the enemy.

1 shot of a swordsman should deal 1.1 damage http://prntscr.com/vs7mus
4 shots* 1.1 * 4 swordsman = 17,6 damage from shots
3 ghouls deal 1.2 average damage/shot so 3*4*1.2 = 14.4 damage
They can kill 1 elemental(he has 30 HP) by arrows.
2 alive elementals should melee the rest.

He shots 5 times...how? He should have 4 arrows
How does he deal damage from turn 6 without any counterattacks?

[Seravy]

4 turns of damage would be ~34 damage so the damage amount is way more accurate than I expected.

Ammo doesn't exist in automatic combat - each army gets 5 ranged turns in the current implementation. Maybe implementing it could help increase accuracy a little?

After implementing Ammo to determine ranged turns, the resulting log file is this :

Tlaloc still wins, but takes 48% damage to the stack instead of 29%.

[Sapher]

He can not win here ^_^.
Ranged attacks kill 1 bear.
Full melee attacks from 7 units deal 13 damage(that's not possible by the way. How did they manage to surround bears so they would be ably to do 7*2 attacks? some units would have to move forward and skip 1 attack)
So that's at least 2 strong counter attacks by bears. Only those kill 1 unit. Probably 2 -10% to hit counters also kill 1 unit. Let's not even count the rest.
Now 2 bears attack 2 times each and at least 2 more units die...
So after 1 melee round bears lose 13HP+3HP. Enemy army loses 4 units...

[Seravy]

Automatic combat doesn't use the concept of individual units and thus can't have a counterattack mechanic. Each army attacks the other army once per turn. I don't think it can be any more accurate than this.

Where is Elementals damage? One more free round of dealing damage for swordsmen where somehow elementals are not doing the same.

The faster army attacks first because they have the advantage of better positioning and picking which unit engages which other unit in normal combat.

Combat turn 7 player 1
Army deals 12.2617210150068 Melee damage

By this time Tlaloc dealt 47,39 damage. Bears have 90 total HP.
Alive bear deal 5 damage vs swordsman(http://prntscr.com/vs8wt6) and 8 damage vs ghoul on average. 2attacks/turn*3 bear should give 30 - 48 damage on average ( i dont know if he attacks ghouls or swordsmen). 30-48 * 42,61/90 = 14,2 - 22,7
So 12 damage looks a bit low even if all bears decides to attack swordsmen first.
So how was 12.2617210150068 Melee damage calculated?
And if that auto combat knew that 1.5 bears deal the same damage as 2 bears...

[Seravy]

Bears? Wait, I thought we were walking about Earth Elementals? Is this a different battle? Is it the same save file? Which stack?
