Land battle seems way off

Was attacked by Tor with 1,000 against 150,000(odds 42/2 and they took hardly any losses and won the battle with only 1,000 troops. How is this?

They attacked planted earth with only a 1k troops against 150k and take losses down to about 5 or 600 and I loose all 150,000. Along with plant earth. Seems the land combat is way out of line.

I've seen that sometimes too. However, did you see what the Tor advantage over your soldiers was? The Dread Lords took a planet of 15,000 from me tonight with only 10 soldiers, but their advantage was something like 750 to 5 against me. (Advantage means they had uber weapons and I was throwing stones.)

Also the Soldiering and Technology advantage take a big role too. Before I was trying to take a Dregin planet, they had very few people but they were leaps and bounds ahead of me on both of those advantages.

And if you don't have a clear advantage then you can use something like Mass Drivers to tilt the blance in your favor.

Arent all those factors added in (along with a random element) to give the advantage factor number displayed on the land battle screen? That's presumably the 42/2 he was speaking about.

Yep. It was like nukes vs slingshots. Who do you think is going to win?

I've found the battle factor number to be fairly accurate.. Once I 'rolled' a 7 - 7, (1 to 1), and the losses on both sides were exactly the same (2000 even).. 15 - 6 odds (~2.5 to 1) produced ~2.5 more billion dead per attacking billion..

So, by those odds, the 42 to 2 should have only wiped out 16 to 23 billion, not 150. It sounds to me that something's a little off in the battle Titanwarrior experienced. (maybe he was fighting genetically-enhanced, near-ascended Tor .

well if its nukes vs slingshots then all you have to do is sneek behind the enemy lines and gets some rocks into the missles engins and when it starts up BOOM bye bye bad guys
