Appendix C: Conflicts: a combat report en detail The following combat report shows a conflict between the imperators Maelstroem and Phoenix of the houses Centaurus and Persei.
Listed above, you see a line-up of all participating units, grouped by houses. Maelstroem attacks commander Phoenix' solar system "Cronxot". Maelstroem also brought a ship, called "Sansibar", as a support unit on his attacking warplanet. Phoenix wants to defend the solar system only with his warplanet in orbit. Phase 1
The fastest unit begins to fire in phase 1 (torpedo phase). Here, the ship "Sansibar" opens fire on the weakest enemy unit (Maelstroem gave this order earlier in the ship dialog) and hits Phoenix' warplanet with 11 damage points. The second fastest unit, that is equipped with torpedos (the solar system Cronxot, which is also the home planet (HP) of Phoenix), now fires its torpedo and hits the ship "Sanisbar" with 11 damage points. The shield strength of "Sansibar" is thus reduced from 22 to 11 units. Hullpoints and Shieldpoints are always displayed below the units' name. Please note, that ships defend warplanets and warplanets defend solar systems. It is therefore impossible to fire at a warplanet, if a ship of that house is still functional, neither it is possible to fire at a solar system, if there's still an enemy operational warplanet present. Phase 2
Phase 2 (laser round) begins with an attack of the warplanet of Maelstroem, which fires its laser banks at the warplanet of Phoenix. After the first hit, the shield of Phoenix' warplanet fails. The next hit causes the hull to be physically damaged (8 damags points). physically damages the hull! Next, the ship Sansibar fires its deadly laser banks. The first hit is a direct hit and forces Phoenix' warplanet to surrender. For the successful attack, "Sansibar" earns 7 experience points. As Phoenix' warplanet capitulates, Phoenix is integrated as a subordinate into Maelstroem's empire. Phoenix loses 25% of his cash and goods in stock. Phase 3
Phase 4
Phase 5
There is always one torpedo round, followed by two laser rounds. In phase 5, the solar systems' defenses have failed. As Maelstroem conquered the homeworld of Phoenix, an additional 25% of the resources were transferred to him. But, if the solar system would have succeeded in conquering Maelstroem's warplanet (after shooting down his ship), Maelstroem would have to concede a defeat and not a victory... |
