1 on 1 fights - who is the strongest?
Level 7, for example.
The creature is supported with a level 1 hero with 0 attack skill, 0 defense skill, no spells, no usable secondary skills and is equipped with morale and luck negating artifacts.
What I am particulary interested is: what is the probability of the Archangel beating the Ancient Behemoth, and why?
I mean, what is the correct play.

well, without luck, morale and the rest, the AB should win 100% of times.
And he does, too

Then you played it wrong. Or, your heroes did not have 0/0 in attack/defense.
With correct play, the AB has better chance, but not 100%.
Also, Archdevils have almost 50% chance to defeat the Behemoths, while Titans have 100%.
My questions:
1, What is the optimal play in AD-AB fight?
2, What is the optimal play in AA-AB fight?

The game engine is predicated on speed.
Therefore, if you eliminate morale and spells, your Ancient Behemoths can never make the first strike.
Meanwhile, ArchDevils will wait, let the ABs move, then get 2 strikes in before the AB's can retaliate.
1 on 1 is not very realistic. How many times has that situation come up for you????
Leading a full compliment of troops is another thread.

Does the 80% defense reduction by the Ancient Behemoth work on the first attack, or is it for all subsequent attacks????
An Archangel with 30 Attack, 30 Defense, 250 health, and a 50 point attack would win every time against an Ancient Behemoth with 19, 19, 300, and 30-50 damage.
Angel waits on first turn, Behemoth closes in.
Angel attacks for (1+((30-19)*0.05))*50 or 77.5 damage.
Behemoth retaliates for (1+((19-6)*0.05))*(random amount between 30-50, but let's take 50 for argument sake) = 82.5
Angel attacks again for 77.5.
Behemoth retaliates for 82.5
Behemoth makes first attack for 82.5 (165 total damage)
Angel retaliates for 77.5 ((232.5 total damage)
Angel attacks for 77.5 and kills Behemoth (310 damage done)
Even with max damage, AA beats AB
Also, AB would beat Arch Devils, despite that Arch Devils getting in two attacks before the AB even go. I believe average damage of an AD is 47.25 per attack, and the Behemoths do 66.8, so it takes 3 attacks to take out a devil. By that third hit, Devils would have done an average of 283.5 damage, so with luck, they might be able to win, but on average, they should lose.
I hope the math is accurate. I'm still not sure where you are heading with this . . .

Neither the math is accurate, nor the way you play the fights. :-)
Let me help you a bit.
1st, are you sure of that AA damage?
2nd, the AB's average damage of 204 (not 200.4) should ring you a bell.

Good try, but 82.5 times 3 isn't 165 and it was said that the hero has a negative morale and luck, so there is no way the AA is going to win. When AA retailates, he only does 20% damage when attacked by AB.

Yes for you. There is nothing that would make the slightest sense in your last reply.

Mathematically correct, but no one said that 82.5*3=165
Quote:

No one said that.
Quote:

This is not true and which is really said that this sentence has nothing to do with the last one so even your implication ("so") is a joke.
Quote:

1. Who said that AA would retaliate?
2. Does 20% damage??? Are you out of your mind?

Can't you see, csarmi?
80% defense reduction means defending stack is reduced by 80%, which means the retaliating attack will be only 20% of the original stack's power

I thought only the defense of the creature attacked is reduced by 80%.
You are stating that the offense is reduced, as well???
I did not know that.

Csarmi,
This thread seem familiar ???
http://www.heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?FID=6&TID=11796&pagenumber=3
AA does 77.5 damage
AB does 82.5 max damage
You've already done this exercise, I've repeated your numbers, and still you argue????
It's just a game . . . . put more emphasis on your life.

That is not true, Behemoth's do 68 average damage. Also, all it means is that AB has a little more than 50% chance to take out the Devil in time.

That was 10vs10 which is a completely different game, requiring different tactics.
You seem to be forgetting about something very important. I was trying to help you to solve this riddle, but --

lol :-)
--------------------------------------------
anyways, since no one seems to be interested, here is the solution
AA - AB fight
AA waits
AB defends (and keeps defending)
AA has to survive 4 AB hits, which is very unlikely (4*(49-82) has a very high chance of being at least 250), else AB wins
AD - AB fight
AD waits
AB moves to center
AD hits,
AD hits
AB hits, AD retals
AD hits
AB hits, AD retals
AD defends(!)
AB hits
Now if this hit finishes the devil, AB wins, if not, AD retals, starts next turn with getting a punch in and AD wins.
So if AD survives 3 hits (two for 51-85, one for 49-82), he wins, if not, he loses.
