Erm...well, you've achieved what you set out to do, I guess, but...

pwned, 171% dmg grimm vs kanbei

Huh? 171% dmg? there are 1598 comtowers, so the Mega tank has 159.8+1.3 times as much
attack as a normal Mega Tank. Even if you have 70% defence, yoou still recieve an attack
of around 40.3 times as stong as an attack of a normal Megatank. So that would be
something like 5400% damage.

However what worries me really is that It is OS mega tank, so BM does not have even a
chance to run.
Slazzy (08/13/2015 09:20am):
how much is the inf vs mega dmg?
Slazzy (08/13/2015 09:21am):
well they have a chance if OS is not greedy
Slazzy (08/13/2015 09:23am):
what worries me is that it is not the same person (i assume) who made this:

I believe you're correct in that assumption, because, unless I'm mistaken, the person who
made the other map is the-deadly-shadow's alt account. That map is actually much better
because at least the megatank has to hunt the infantry down- it becomes a bit if a "tag,
you're dead" type game that might require some thought and planning that can legitimately
result in a victory for either side. BM can win if the megatank runs out of fuel, allowing
capture of the OS HQ, or in the case that the megatank runs out of fuel next to
their own HQ (or they camp on it to prevent capture/running out of fuel), BM can capture
enough towers to kill the megatank.*

Now, I haven't looked into how hard it is for either side, and maybe it's too easy for the
infantry to escape (all of the forests) or too easy for the megatank to catch it (faster
on open road.. or towers). It would also be a very long game to complete, but the fact of
the matter is that it works much better than this map where OS wins instantly on Day 1.


*Assuming my math is correct, with 1500 of the 1569 towers, the infantry would do 97-106%
against a megatank on 3-star terrain, and 83-91% against a megatank on 4-star terrain.
With all of the towers the damage ranges would become 101-111% and 86-95% for 3 and 4-star
terrain, respectively. I think that regardless of whether the megatank survives the first
attack or not, with 2 HP or less, it will be unable to destroy the BM infantry and will
die in counterattack or on BM's next turn.
