Stacking Order Courtesy of Celevagor: How to know what your "stacks" are. Very simply put a stack is one group of an attacking or defending force. If I have: 2000 mind rippers 800 liches 1000 Archangels 30,000 knights 1800 unicorns 18,000 ghouls 35 water elementals 30 ice elementals 200 vampires 750 hydra Then each group constitutes one stack. The 2000 mind rippers are one stack as are the 800 liches. How to know what order your stacks are in. Each unit has a power rating. For instance mind rippers are power 1054, Ghouls are 35, knights 23, liches 2027, Archangels 750, unicorns 375, water elementals 19406, ice elementals 21800, vampires 2058, and hydra 457. Simply multiply the unit power by the number of units in a given stack to discover the stack�s power. Given that, my stacking power would look like: Mind rippers 2000*1054=2,108,000 Liches 800*2027=1,621,600 Archangels 1000*750=750,000 Knights 30,000*23=690,000 unicorns 1800*375=675,000 Ghouls 18,000*35=630,000 Water ele. 35*19,406=679,210 Ice ele. 30*21,800=654,000 vampires 200*2058=411,600 hydra 750*457=342,750 Only if it was so simple. Now it is necessary to know whether each unit is flying, melee, or ranged. Look up each unit in the encyclopedia and it will tell you if a unit is flying or not as one of it's special abilities. Also look at the primary attack. (The secondary attack is meaningless for stacking calculations.) If the primary attack does not say "RANGED" in it then it is considered a melee attack for this stacking purposes. Mind rippers: ranged Liches: ranged Archangels: flying (Also melee but flying takes precedence over melee and ranged.) Knights: melee Unicorns: melee Ghouls: melee water ele.: ranged ice ele.: ranged vampires: flying (Again melee as well but flying takes precedence.) Hydra: melee Significance of flying, ranged, and melee. Flying troops recieve a multiplier of *2.25 for stacking purposes. Melee troops recieve a multiplier of *1.5 for stacking purposes. Ranged troops recieve no modifiers. Applying the above modifiers to each stacks power we will discover how it stacks up against my other units. Mind rippers 2,108,000 (no modifiers for ranged troops) Liches 1,621,600 Archangels 750,000*2.25=1,687,500 Knights 690,000*1.5=1,035,000 Unicorns 675,000*1.5=1,012,500 ghouls 630,000*1.5=945,000 water ele. 679,210 ice ele. 654,000 vampires 411,600*2.25=926,100 hydra 342,750*1.5=514,125 What all this means. Finally! When you attack an opponent or defend against an attack. Your stack with the highest modified power attacks or defends against your opponent�s highest stack. Your second against his second and so on. In the end this all results in several different matchups which each result in a separate battle. The sum total of each individual battle determines the overall result. The order of my stacking would be as follows: 1) Mind Rippers 2) Archangels 3) Liches 4) Knights 5) Unicorns 6) Ghouls 7) Vampires 8) Water elementals 9) Ice elementals 10) Hydra Reinforcements What you send as reinforcements is determined as follows. Your 3rd-5th stacks in order of power can be sent as reinforcements. (For reinforcement purposes whether a unit is flying, ranged, or melee has no bearing.) It is therefore possible to send your top stack or your 9th stack as reinforcements. I could send the following as reinforcements: Archangels Knights Water ele. Note that for combat these are my 2nd, 4th, and 8th stacks respectively. They are however, my 3rd, 4th, and 5th most powerful stacks. Allies | Battle | Fun Strategy | Forum | Home
