The odds of a ranged attack succeeding are shown in the Events Window. Standing on elevated terrain, while your target is on lowered terrain, will improve your chances of hitting the target (and will hamper them if you're on the low ground). The farther away the target, the less likely you are to hit it. Ranged attacks, like Archery, use their own Attack values and suffer from accuracy penalties, or bonuses, based on distance and height. If he hits, he does anywhere between 1 and 5 damage against his target.Įach attack always has a minimum 5% chance to succeed and a maximum 95% chance to succeed. Thus, a unit with Attack 8 and Damage 5, against a target with Defense 6, has a 60% chance of successfully hitting his target (50% + (5% * 2)). If the attack is successful, a simple damage roll is made using 1 as the minimum and the Damage value as the maximum. Each difference in Attack and Defense (or Resistance) increases or decreases the odds by 5%. The base chance for success is 50% if the comparison of Attack vs. The percent chance of success for most attacks is based upon comparing the attacking unit's Attack stat with the defending units Defense or Resistance stat. For more information on what each individual statistic on a unit represents, see the Units section.

When units in AoW2 try to damage one another, a random number is generated and then compared against the two unit's statistics to see if the attacker succeeds.
