[MonkeyMarkMario]

Cat got your tongue, I am willing to accept your surrender.

[a1s]

This may prove to be the final turn of the game, if the MNA is reduced to less than 465 points. Will they find a clever way to avoid that fate, or roll the dice on the biggest battle to date? Stay tuned to find out.

[Jerick]

I'm being sneaksy

[RulerOfNothing]

Hmmm. Not sure what I should do here.

[a1s]

I'm sure you will figure it out 

I aim for a turn tomorrow evening, day after the latest, so I urge evictedSaint, TTE and RoN to submit their turns before then.

[RulerOfNothing]

Attack LVII with 30 troops

[MonkeyMarkMario]

I think my attack has thrown evictedSaint off and he has no idea what to do.

[a1s]

Turn imminent

[a1s]

The die is cast, if unimpressively.

King RulerOfNothing send 30 men to conquer LVII, in an honorable, if futile, gesture to show others there are corners of this map that can still be conquered without harming others. LVIIans beg to differ, but their cries are wholly ignored. 5 loot is obtained.

King The_Two_Eternities is constant in his impassivity.

King MonkeyMarkMario brings down his fist on a combined NSFW-Redsvale defense. Somewhat anticlimactically 21 Lians die, each taking with him 3 minor nationals (63 total). Such is the power of force multipliers.

King Jerick orders his troops to a assist NSFW in their defense. His success is marred only slightly by the 24 coffins arriving home for a heroes' funeral.

King EvictedSaint musters a defense of LXVIII out of thin air.  They hold their ground, but 39 of them pay for it.

I would like to stress that secret orders are not only available to Jerrick (and remind everyone that withdrawing a defensive garrison is a free action, and the points can be reused on the same turn)

[Jerick]

I have to ask how exactly are battles calculated? Because I would have thought that having 710 + the natural defender bonus (a total of 780) would have done far more damage to a force of 300 +100% bonus (a total of 600). I know dice are involved but how is damage dealt? I want to know so we can have an idea just how much force it takes to stack wipe an enemy.

Also I don't think two eternities is coming back. He hasn't posted since he lost all his troops in attacking Kit and that was a while ago.

[evictedSaint]

It's more than that - 745 troops with a 10% defender bonus is 820 against 610 - that's a difference of more than a third, yet we lost three times as many troops

[MonkeyMarkMario]

Fools, you cannot out match the power of the islanders. Can I change my kingdom name to Japan?

[a1s]

I'm actually making the ratio into a bigger deal than it is for dramatic effect. In reality 63 is a low number, and 21 is ridiculously low.
The real range of outcomes lies between MMM inflicting a one-sided 610 casualties (least likely) to MNA destroying the attacking army (more likely) or both at the same time (probably the most likely of the three though still quite unlikely.)

[a1s]

Can I change my kingdom name to Japan?

Name change is a free action, but don't abuse it too much.

The real mechanics of comat are

Spoiler: very random and kinda dumb (click to show/hide)

Both parties roll between 0 and their adjusted troop size. Loser takes difference as damage.
Then both parties roll between 0 and whatever didn't get rolled in the first round. Loser, again, takes difference as damage.
Unlike the model used during the first few turns this means that one side's losses are likely to echo for the other side too.
This also means that in a combat of two equal 100% boosted forces, there is a 1/4 chance of Mutually Assured Destruction, which I will (and have) declare as a win for the defender.
