Zeus' Rage & Sea Storm

[DeletedUser2458]

Please, can you tell me if is it expected behavior or bug?

I usually send with CS 80 light ships... and in the most of cases sea storm destroys colony ship.

AND

When I cast (or enemy on me) Zeus' Rage on land attack with catapults - 90% of pop of destroyed units are catapults.
Today example: I sent 1400 slingers + 100 cats. Result after casting Zeus' Rage? 20 cats and 23 slingers are down. I had this situation in navy-land attacks too - 20 from 30 catapults were destroyed + minor amount of other units.

I really don't know if this is intended or not. Why these spells are focused on catapults and colony ships? I thought I am just not very luckily... but my co-players have this exactly too.

That's intended.

It will calculated as follows: Let say, you have an attack with 500 Slingers and 20 Katapults. This are 500 + 20*15= 800 population. If you calculate now with 30% means, 240 population should be destroyed. Now, the system will destroyed from every land unit in rotation 1 unit.

Which means,
500 --> 499 Slingers and 20 --> 19 Katapults
499 --> 498 Slingers and 19 --> 18 Katapults
498 --> 497 Slingers and 18 --> 17 Katapults
497 --> 496 Slingers and 17 --> 16 Katapults
500 --> 495 Slingers and 20 --> 15 Katapults
.......
486 --> 485 Slingers and 06 --> 05 Katapults.

which means you have destroyed until now 240 populations.

The biggest units always die first, just the way it is as explained above

You can avoid a CS being sunk by sea storm.

+ Never send more than 39 LS (or the equivalent population in tri's) with a CS.

The maths

39 LS = 390 population
1 CS = 170 population

Total population = 560

If a sea storm hits at its maximum potential of 30% it will destroy 168 population (30% of 560)

Therefore, if it destroys 168 pop it is impossible for it to destroy the CS (170 pop)

on the other hand

+ Using your numbers, 80 LS, 1 CS

80 LS = 800 pop
1 CS = 170 pop

Total population = 970

Sea storm at 30% = 291 population destroyed

So the CS dies alone with up to 12 LS

For navy units - ok. For land it should be rebalanced IMHO.

Thanks for your responses
