Combat skills #
As a general rule, any clone in our virtual world has the opportunity to participate in fights in tournaments, work as a security guard and engage in a duel with a robber, or, on the contrary, rob houses and settlements.
The military block of the game (except for battles with General Webman) involves “PvP” competitions, that is, player versus player. What matters here is not only the amount of military skills and military initiative, but also tactics. Since all fights take place automatically, the player’s combat skills are taken into account when determining the results. With the right selection of combat skills and weapons, a weaker clone has a chance to defeat a stronger opponent.
This or that skill can increase the accuracy of your blow/shot or the damage inflicted on the enemy, or reduce some of the enemy’s indicators. Combat skills will also allow the clone to provide medical assistance to himself or choose a more suitable target to attack in a group battle.
Upgrading skills is available on the “Combat Skills” page (“Character” → “Education” → “Combat Skills”).
The percentage of change in a characteristic in the skill description is calculated from the resulting value of the characteristic. Increasing the accuracy of a shot with a clone with its own accuracy of 30% and a sniper rifle with 25% accuracy by 10% leads to an increase in the final accuracy by 10%.
Under the above conditions, the probability of an accurate shot will be: (30% + 25%) + (30% + 25%) x 10% = 60.5%.
“Hand-to-hand combat” means fighting with bladed weapons or fists.
Please note that some skills work in all types of battles, and some - only in battles between guards and robbers and in tournaments, but do not work in battles with a common enemy (attacks of princely squads and bandit troops) and as part of squads of cache robbers.
Gaining Skills #
To absorb information and successfully use skills in a battle, a clone must be prepared. Agree, it makes no sense to talk about the features of using a sniper scope at night with a strong side wind to a soldier who has been serving for three days and has an absolutely zero level of training. To master combat skills, a clone must have a certain amount of military skills.
When mastering combat skills, military skills are not consumed - only their quantity matters: the more military skills, the more combat skills a clone can acquire, and the more serious the influence of these skills. At the same time, the overall assessment of combat skills cannot exceed the amount of military skills the clone has.
Example: a clone has 5000 units of military skills. Any combat skill is available to him. If a clone gets the “Ninja” skill, which requires 3,000 units, then he will no longer be able to get the “Sheriff” skill, because it requires 3,500. He only has 2000 units of military skills left that are not involved in learning combat skills. Now he only has access to skills that require 2000 or less units of military skills. But clones are developing, the amount of skills is growing. Soon their importance will increase and will allow you to acquire new skills.
If the skill was acquired using “temporary” military skills, for example, obtained from wearing a magical artifact or jewelry, then after removing the magical item and reducing the amount of skills in the clone below the required amount, the acquired skills will be lost.
Learning skills is instant and free.
You can only learn 1 skill of one type. Some types of skills are not compatible with each other - you can only get one of them.
After learning a skill, its picture is highlighted in green. Skills that are incompatible with those already learned are highlighted in red. You won’t be able to learn them until you abandon the incompatible skill.
You cannot gain skills during a battle that has already begun.
Combat skills also include the effects of punishments that a house owner can apply to a caught robber.
Loss of skills #
You can abandon a combat skill and get another one if you wish. You can lose a skill no earlier than 24 hours after receiving it. The loss of the skill occurs instantly, but after this, the “Absent-mindedness” skill will be applied to the clone for 24 hours, which affects it negatively. In the case of fighting during this time interval, the clone’s health damage and the probability of being hit will be 5% higher, and the accuracy of its strikes and damage to the enemy will be 5% lower than standard values.
If several skills are lost in a row, the duration of Absent-mindedness is calculated from the moment the last skill was lost.
If a skill is lost, you can learn a new one if you have enough military skills.
Description of skills #
Combat skills can be obtained if your clone has a certain amount of military skills. Some skills are incompatible with others.
Ninja #

It appears in white smoke from salt cartridges. A ninja can take no more than 10 of such cartridges with him. Unfortunately, gunshot wounds deal 25% more damage to you, and the damage you deal to an enemy with guns is 20% less. In a group battle, the ninja first attacks opponents with melee weapons (no cartridges are wasted). Ift there are no such ones, the ninja attacks opponents with firearms (one cartridge is spent for each attack). To obtain it you must have 3000 military skills. This skill is not used in war combat. Not compatible with the “Thug” and “Karate guy” skills.

If your opponent does not have criminal authority, the additional damage will be +15%. If the enemy has the “Sheriff” skill, then the repeat offender deals a maximum additional damage of 15%. In addition, the repeat offender receives 1 additional tip to his current list of tips. If you do not have a criminal authority, the skill will not work.
