Fighting as part of a squad#
To participate in battle, a clone must have stamina ≥0 and health ≥10. If stamina is below 0 or health is below 10 (without a health elixir or automatic recovery), the clone will not participate in battle. After battle, 1 stamina point is deducted from the clone for each battle fought.
Squads can launch no more than one attack per day. If the banner is raised, the principality may be attacked by Webman’s troops.
Ammunition and protection#
The clone can use any equipped weapon. Firearms require ammunition (bullets or cannonballs), which can be purchased or crafted after learning “Gunsmithing.”
- The artillery weapon is available to clones with the status of “peasant” and higher.
- Warship - from the status of “bourgeois”.
- Only one type of firearm and one type of melee weapon can be used at a time.
Protective clothing reduces damage and loses durability. Combining it with certain weapons can increase damage absorption to 100%.
Weapon durability decreases:
- Melee weapons: -1 per hit.
- Live ammo: -10 per shot.
- Cannonball: -10 per shot.
Offensive battles of the squad#
- The first to attack are fighters with firearms.
- Clones with melee weapons begin an attack after their firearm ammunition is exhausted.
- The order of moves depends on the initiative.
- Dragon Riders do not die in battle and leave it after depleting their ammunition.
- Military knowledge is not gained with fists.
Siege tactics#
If the Defensive Wall is built and operational, the enemy employs siege tactics. The siege lasts until the wall is destroyed or the retinue is defeated. Attacks occur every 24 hours. The retinue of a besieged principality can only repel attacks.
