Damage Calculation

[dnzrx]

Does anyone know how is the damage during combat is calculated?

And Does anyone know why sometimes my units gets damaged even if the "fireball" clearly hits the enemy?

The amount of damage suffered (hitpoints lost) in a victorious combat is equal to the number of rounds you lost before the other unit was destroyed. There is no separate animation for each single round of combat (would take too long even with fission units), so a single fireball can represent several rounds some of which can be lost by your unit.
