Phases
Phases: Battles involve a variety of phases of combat. They will be detailed in the
section for each kind of battle. In each phase, only a fraction of the total strength of the
legion is brought to bear. Certain tactics and artifacts affect only certain phases of
combat.
End of Battle Events
End of Battle Events: At the end of any phase in which either side has losses exceeding
their retreat threshold, the battle changes to the retreat phase and then resolution, where
various events such as leaders perishing, emerging, or gaining rank, and brigades being
eliminated or perhaps gaining experience are revealed.
In retreat, legions will suffer base additional losses of 3% - 8%, but various tactics and
qualities such as speed will alter this base amount either positively or negatively. Some
of these combinations can result in retreat losses being triple the base amount, but losses
in retreat are capped at 20% in the retreat phase itself.
More experienced brigades typically suffer fewer casualties within a legion than do the
less experienced brigades. However, any brigade which has its strength reduced below
40% will be eliminated as a fighting force. It’s surviving troops will transfer to other
brigades of the same type, if any, in the legion, otherwise they too are eliminated. If the
final brigade in a legion suffers losses that reduce its strength below 40%, then the entire
legion and its leaders are also eliminated.
