Combat Rebalancing

Greetings dear Settlers,

As most of you might know, BB is currently performing tests for a new combat system. Don't worry though, as our current one will continue to be a part of "The Settlers Online". In order to give the new combat system a solid foundation, they decided to do a much needed general overhaul, especially to the balancing. The following systems are affected:
  • Attack Order
  • Player unit attributes
  • Enemy unit attributes
  • Skills
  • Resources and Costs
  • Adventure and General Changes
To give you the possibility to test these changes early, BB has deployed the first version containing the balancing adjustments on the regular testserver.


1. Attack Order
