Terms on this page

Generated from the terms used above. This block is what prints.

hit points

How much damage a unit can take before it dies. Damage that gets past its protection comes off hit points, and a unit at zero is dead. Big creatures usually have many more than ordinary soldiers. · Full article → · back to text

protection

What stands between a unit and a blow, from its armour plus any natural protection of its own. The defender adds a DRN to it, and a hit wounds only when the damage total is higher, so a tie does nothing. · Full article → · back to text

morale

A unit's nerve. Fear, losses and a fallen commander test it, and a unit that fails can break and flee. Higher morale holds the line longer; blessings, items and good leaders can raise it. · Full article → · back to text

magic resistance

A unit's defence against spells that can be resisted. The target adds a DRN to it, the caster adds one to its penetration, and the caster wins a tie. · Full article → · back to text

strength

Added to the damage of a melee weapon on every hit, so a strong unit hurts more with the same weapon. · Full article → · back to text

attack skill

How well a unit lands blows. The attacker adds a DRN to its attack skill and the target adds one to its defence skill; the blow lands only if the attacker's total is higher. · Full article → · back to text

defence skill

How hard a unit is to hit. The defender adds a DRN to its defence skill, and a blow that does not beat that total misses, so a tie goes to the defender. Shields and some abilities add to it. · Full article → · back to text

precision

How accurately a unit shoots or throws. Low precision lets missiles drift off the target; high precision keeps them on it. It matters most for archers and for spells that must be aimed. · Full article → · back to text

encumbrance

The weight of a unit's armour and gear. Every point tires the unit faster in battle, and a tired unit fights worse. Light troops carry little; heavy armour carries a lot. · Full article → · back to text

size

How big the unit is, from small to giant. Size affects how much room a unit takes in battle and how easy it is to hit, and some effects work only on units of certain sizes. · Full article → · back to text

map move

How many movement points a unit has on the strategic map each turn. Difficult terrain costs more of them, and an army moves at the speed of its slowest member. · Full article → · back to text

action points

Combat speed: how far a unit can move in a round of battle. Fast units reach the enemy, or escape it, before slow ones. · Full article → · back to text

gold cost

What a unit costs in gold to recruit. This wiki shows ? where the Inspector's value has not been checked in the game yet. · Full article → · back to text

resource cost

The equipment a unit needs. It is taken from the province's resources, which are not saved from one turn to the next, so a province with few resources cannot arm many heavy units. · Full article → · back to text

recruitment points

How much of a province's recruitment capacity a unit uses. A province can train only so many of the better units in one turn. · Full article → · back to text

upkeep

The recurring cost of keeping a unit in service. This wiki shows ? where the Inspector's value has not been checked in the game yet. · Full article → · back to text

leadership

How many troops a commander can lead, counted separately for ordinary, magical and undead troops. A good leader steadies the line; a force without a qualified leader tends to break. · Full article → · back to text

Glamour

Cannot be discovered by scouts and fights with a mirror image protecting it; undetectable in friendly provinces. · back to text

Female

Immune to being charmed by the Succubus; commanders with this flag get feminine names. · back to text
