Reply to What Is It That I Do Not Get About Attack Values? in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="Stalker0" reply="9" id="3850668"] It ensures you cannot build an "invincible fleet" that can just kill an opponent with impunity. Each combat has some HP attrition, which requires you either spend time to repair or swap out ships. It allows for quantity over quality to win. In the early game once defensive studies is researched, while more weapon bonus on a ship is useful, its the amount of attacks that is act

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="7" id="3850660"] You're not disagreeing with me. I haven't called it wrong, but I have called it ludicrous and bogus.

That allows one to build the most advanced ship of a particular size for the

I've been having some puzzling results from some of my battles recently. I went heavy into beam weapon tech, then built a fleet of four ships, each having 44 beam (disruptor), along with 21 shield, 11 point defense, and 46 armor. Several times I had fleets like this go up against enemy fleets. One of those fleets had total values of 20 beam, 30 missile, 6 kinetic, along with defenses of 34 shield, 33 point defense, and 26 armor. In other words, my fleet was consid
