Combat in Shadow Empire is complex and requires a good understanding of the underlying mechanics to be effective. I try to explain the main rules, modifiers and answer some questions like:
How to read battle reports?
How are hits calculated during combat?
What Hit effects like pinned hit, retreat hit, and kill hit do?
What is the difference between soft attack, soft defence and hard attack, hard defence?
Why are Hitpoints always a defence?
Explained combat modifiers:
Concentric bonus
Attack startup modifier
max attacked modifier
Supply consumption modifier
Rivers
Commander bonus
Posture bonus
Fist profile combat bonus
