Armed with the ROF's for comps and CA's we can now proceed with analysing mathematically a battle between them. I will do a simple normal comp vs a simple normal CA w/out Nobility. You are free to continue the analysis for other cases, assy, hitt, etc.
Anyhow compie does 5 damage and has can take 45 HP of damage before death. He shoots every 1.4 sec .
CA does 4 damage and can take 70 HP of damage before going to the big stable in the sky. He shoots every 1.5 sec.
Thus it will take the CA 12 shots (4 X 12=48) to drop the compie. He will kill the compie in 12 X 1.5 = 18 sec.
Now compie can kill CA in 14 shots which requires 14 x 1.4 = 19.6 sec.
So guess who wins ? The CA wins but is,off course, badly damaged.
Hitt CA's kill compie in 9 shots or 13.5 sec
Assy CA's kill compie in 12 shots X 1.1 which is 13.2 sec
Egypt's CA's take extra damage 93 and require 19 arrows from a compie to die.
Off course Nobility will make the CA's strong and alchemy can change things a bit.
What about Minoa's 2 extra range ? Well a CA moves 2 tiles per sec. Can we assume that means the CA is hit one extra time by a Minoan comp while moving into range ? I dunno, but it doesn't seem unreasonable to me. .... neilkaz ....
