Attack Stack Over Limit Penalty

[tortugapower]

Greetings all,

I'm curious, is there a general feel for how powerful the penalty for a over-stacked attack is? In the simplest case of just 100 stack limit, attacking with Riflemen, what is the difference between attacking with, say, 100, 110, or 150?

I have a rough idea in my head from playing, but I want to balance that against what other people say, or even better if someone *knows*.

Cheers,
Tortuga

Checking the results in the combat details button will provide you with some detailed info on how the modifiers are applied in a particular battle. also on the stacking rule.

Best wishes,

As a rule of thumb dont worry if your attack with 101 stack points on a 100 maximum. It will result like in a 1% penalty or even less.

The penalty slowly ramps up where if your attack with 200 stack points on a 100 maximum you should expect something like a 50% penalty. Probably a bit less as the penalty is not completely linear to allow insane mass attacks to have some minor use in some cases.

Best wishes,
Vic

Thanks a lot, Vic! Exactly the kind of "feel" for the penalty I was looking for.

Just one problem with stack limit. The AI over stacks and you face attacking stacks of 4 or 500 rifles.
