Maximum Strength in Combat

[KGB]

Piranha,

Is there a cap on the max strength value? I think I remember you mentioning one but I can't recall for sure what it might have been.

In a game 1v1 where I am fairly rich I speculated 3K on a DK Hero and 3 Demons because they came next to a bless site. After blessing they showed as 55 strength (very sweet). 2 turns later I joined up with a nicely leveled Paladin and Dragon. With the Dragon bonus they reach 67 and with the Paladin Leadership they are showing as 77 (very impressive). My Paladin has a nice +8 Leadership item when attacking taking them to potentially 85 and I gave my extra +8 Anti Air item to the DK so against fliers they'd be 93! next turn my Paladin will level again and add 3 more leadership points taking them to close to 100 vs fliers and around 90 vs anything else when I attack.

I'm wondering if I should invest in another hero with a Demon to get to 100 and be invincible against anything but Critical Strike units. Hence my question about the cap and your answer will determine if I ever by the Demons like this again.

afaik max strength is capped at 75 or 70

I've had stacks with 100 strength in large two player games twice - I didn't think to check if that was a coincidence or if they were maxed.

Edit: I'm guessing its 100 - would have been odd to have a diverse stack all hitting 100 coincidentally twice.

There is a cap at 75 in battles, but I don't think there is a cap to the right where the units are so it may look as if you can pass 75 until you enter a battle.

HAHAHA hooray for caps, I still have a teeny weeny chance to live.

Still, I wish the Demon went to 80 just so it was different than all the other units and justified it's existence. Otherwise it needs Chaos +5.

The cap cannot be working then. I had (100) bracketed for my armies in more than one battle. It was during battle not on the map screen. It was the opposite of how you've described it, as my armies showed as maxing at 75 on the map but in battle showed as 100. It happened twice in two different games - both West Illuria, 2 players, late game - where a hero was fully leveled for bonuses and had a full roster of items.

I looked now and you are right. It only caps it to 75 in the simulation. I've added the 75 limit in the actual battle now.

Now I wish I'd never brought this topic up
