Status: offline 		Greetings all,

I'm curious, is there a general feel for how powerful the penalty for a over-stacked attack is? In the simplest case of just 100 stack limit, attacking with Riflemen, what is the difference between attacking with, say, 100, 110, or 150?

I have a rough idea in my head from playing, but I want to balance that against what other people say, or even better if someone *knows*.

Cheers,
Tortuga

Best wishes,

The penalty slowly ramps up where if your attack with 200 stack points on a 100 maximum you should expect something like a 50% penalty. Probably a bit less as the penalty is not completely linear to allow insane mass attacks to have some minor use in some cases.

Best wishes,
Vic
