Damage Value

Damage Value is the total damage you will do in a military attack.

Each unit (excluding laborers and scholars) deals a certain amount of base damage in a military attack. This then gets multiplied by their quality (the percent associated with the unit).

Damage Value is the sumation of: (Each troop's base damage value) * (each troop's quality) * (number of each troop).

This value must be higher than an opponents absorption AND this value times your absorption must be higher than the opponents damage value times their Absorbtion Value in order to successfully steal land from an opponent ("break" them). Otherwise, you fail to take any land ("Bounce").

This value is also affected by randoms, Frenzy, Just Cause andBloodlust.
