Shooters
Hi, I'm making a simple program to calculate damage and skills in heroes II by entering what monster attacking what monster and your heroes stats and if they should retaliate.
I know its not necessary and its probably already been made, but I make it for fun...
now, I was wondering how it works with shooters... almost all of them seem to do half the damage in close combat but not titans and archmages... is there a way to know if they do half damage in closecombat? I understand how titans should do the same damage close and range...
also is it just the damage like 3-4 instead of 6-8 that is changed or is it the complete damage that halves, with attack and defense skill counted in? maybe it doesnt matter but anyway... sorry for long post xD

I'm pretty sure it's normal shooting damage calculated first with the result cut by 50%

Druids and Titans have no melee penalty. All the others have, iirc.

Don't forget that damage is calculated separately for each unit in a stack.

I don't get how you mean
if there's a group of 5 skeletons the damage would be 10-15
I don't have to think 2-3 + 2-3 + 2-3 + 2-3 + 2-3, thats the same thing... and I can't give an exact value...

Base damage is damage displayed for every unit in its stats (e.g. 40-50 for a Black Dragon). For a stack of creatures it is calculated as such:
- If there are less then 10 creatures in a stack then a random integer is chosen in a damage range for each creature, and they are added up.
...
There is a greater chance that the damage will be closer to middle value, not to bother how big it is.

I don't think that there is limitation of 10 units in HoMM II. But I am not sure. And yes, for 5 skeletons damage is something like this: 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 3 = 13.
