Battle context first
Event, attack/defense and leader/joiner roles are evaluated separately. A hero can be excellent in one role and weak in another.
How the planner works
The tool is designed as a decision assistant, not as a fake “perfect combat simulator.”
Counter the scout
Infantry counters cavalry, cavalry pressures archers, and archers counter infantry. The planner changes the troop ratio when a clear enemy bias is entered.
Respect joiner mechanics
A joined rally primarily uses the first hero’s relevant Expedition skill. Only a limited number of joiner skills apply, and some skill codes stack differently.
Learn from reports
Century Games does not publish the complete combat formula. The next development stage should store battle reports and tune scores from real alliance results.
