Maximum AA Bonus

[KGB]

In a game I just attacked an opponent who got a +32 AA bonus thanks to a Ranger + a horde of items!

This bonus combined with the regular stack bonus (leadership/morale/walls) to turn a 15 strength Ghost into a 65 strength unit. So all units in this stack got +50 strength (it was an all flying battle) turning what should have been a win for me into a loss.

This is a bit over the top. The stack AA bonus PLUS the regular stack bonus (leadership/morale/walls) shouldn't exceed +30 (the game cap). A units individual AA bonus should still add onto that +30 (just like the terrain bonus's do).

I agree that group AA should be capped with morale and leadership. Will add that to the list of fixes to make.

Want to check this one again. When we introduced Group AA instead of leadership based AA I started out by bundling it with the other positive bonuses that are capped at 30 which I thought made sense but was told that it should be a separate bonus.

Before I go back and change it again to be capped along with the other positive bonuses I want to check if I should make this change or leave it as it is. Currently AA bonuses are not capped in any way.

Piranha,

What happened before was the AA was considered part of the Leadership bonus so the Archon Negate skill was negating it. That's why you broke it out as a separate bonus.

But Group AA should be capped by the -15 / +30 bonus range that can be applied to any unit.

Note that individual AA should not be part of this cap just like terrain bonus's aren't part of that cap.

Eg: Wizard, Pegasi, Ranger with +30 AA Bonus face a Green Dragon. The Wizards strength would be 25 + 15 (individual AA) + 30 (5 morale + 30 AA = 35. Capped at 30) = 70 str.

i think game should have more honesty / transparency and in order to do so allow stack bonuses and remove all caps that cannot be explained in 2 words
