How to calc. soak values and other math thingys!

[joojoo1975]

just read update, and i guess i dont understand the formula behind wall soak values.

could somone please postthe formula, pls remember i only had high school math.

thanx

The square of a number is the number multiplied by itself. So square root of a number is what some number multiplied by itself equals. Use a calculator for it man, i do most mathematics in my head but I don't even try to do sqrts because it takes tables and trial and error.

10^2=100
45^2=2025

X^n means X to the nth power. if n is 3 and X is 10 then it is 1000 (10*10*10=1000). So is 10^2 denote 10*10 or the "Square" of 10 because squaring or cubing (X^3) is what you do when you measure space because you can't actually do the squaring or cubing or the value or the measurement is lost. It is the value of a retained dimension and is why it is referred to in shapes even though we're not actually doing that in this situation.

sqrt(300)=17.32...

This is how it is denoted without a charmap there is a symbol for sqrt you can google for it.

So if your str is 100 your damage is 10. If it's 2025, your damage is 45. If it's 300 you do 17 damage. Takes a minimum of 4x300str chars to break brick.

If I got loftar right the damage is added up so 4 guys with 300 str would deal 17x4= 68 damage. This alone would not be enough, since a brickwall has 70 soak. I guess you just forgot to mention the ram they need to use (otherwise there is no possibilty for the 4 guys to attack together) and the ram adds 20 damage. So to sum it up, 4 guys with 300 str would deal 68 damage plus 20 damage for the ram =88 damage.

Where x = the amount of strength each char needs

Solve for x:
One player:
brick:
sqrt(x)=70
x=70^2
x=4900

and the palisade one:
sqrt(x)=45
x=45^2
x=2025

4 players with a ram:
brick:
sqrt(x)*4+20=70
sqrt(x)=50/4
x=156

and for palisades:
sqrt(x)*4+20=45
sqrt(x)=25/4
x=39

thankyou. i think i get it(formula wise)

FFS. Make not just make brick indestructable then? Save us all the trouble of bothering with any kind of warfare.

Lol you need around 160 str to break a brickwall with a fully equipped ram. Every newb can get that, I would even say it is too easy when they are going the way that you definitely need a ram to break brickwall.

But it is quite possible to destroy walls as it is, right now? It's just indestructible to the guys who formerly could tear down brick walls single- and barehanded.
