I offered a viable alternative strategy for the encounter. Therefore... not pointless.Pointless reply
The average damage done by a squad of 53 cannoneers would be 2173. Roughly 34% of your dancers lost in round 1. Subsequently the sorcs will reduce the cannoneer damage by 70% and they will do an average of 652 damage per round aftewards. Roughly 14% of the dancers lost during all the next rounds not factoring the reduction in cannoneers by damage of the sorcs and if you were able to close off your dancers with treants or kept them out of reach of the thieves. With average damage by the cannoneers your dancers would have survived 6 rounds (34%+14%+14%+14%+14%+14%=104%). My estimate of 3 to 4 rounds were based on an above average damage of 80 to 100% by the cannoneers and the reduction of 70% done by the sorcs after the first round.No idea how you assumed the 4 rounds with only 1 sword dancer
In your encounter it was not ONLY two shot from the cannoneers that killed the squad of dancers. 30 dancers was lost due to damage done by the thieves. Yes, two shots from 53 cannoneers can potentialy kill 204 dancers in 2 shots when they deal above 80% of their potential damage, but that is simply bad luck and does not happen often.Look at the picture again. Two shots from canoneers to polish off 1 group of sword dancers
Yes, it would be easier to place your troops after the map has loaded, but at least you have the option and method of changing the placement of your troops (albeit by having to surrender and reload the map). Much worse if you were unable to change the initial placement at all! I only exit and reload the map once.It would be much more easier for the troops to be deployed after the map is loaded. How many times you have to exit reload the map just to place you troops?
And I have had encounters(hex 6 and 7) where I finished it without the enemy being able to move once. Facing bandits and cannoneers. Personally I have never had a single encounter (114 provinces completed and 19 at 7/8 complete) where I lost a single squad without being able to move them at least once. Please clarify the encounter situation? Enemy units and yours?There are battlefields where you lose the entire 1 -2 group of troops on round 1 since you cant move.
