How to calculate defense values?

[debeest]

La Fayette, your method will mislead you, because the adjusted strength formula is actually (stronger-plus-[stronger-minus-weaker]) vs weaker. Instead, use FP the same way that Dave used HP, AFTER you determine relative attack vs defense.

This is in fact what I do, but I wrote it wrongly.

Thank you for kind help anyway

I thought you already knew that!

Don't overestimate me
I know the formula, but use it very seldom.
Here is what dave wrote:
"I calculate the unit strength by HP times adjusted attack or defense, which yields 180 for the ironclad and 210 for the phalanx. On average, the ironclad should be able to remove 180/210 of the phalanx's strength, or 8.57 HP."
The first sentence is OK. The second sentence is new to me: it brought me some kind of better understanding of the real meaning of the formula.

So even if it is weaker, it should be able to take down some of the Hit Points of the unit, allowing a follow-on unit to take it out.

Does a "fortified" unit in a city get the x1.5 bonus when a ship attacks if the city has no walls?

I think "yes" (but you shouldn't overestimate me ).

I also 'think' that a fortified unit gets its bonus (of course walls make no difference)
