[UI Suggestion] Display multi-unit attack with a multiplier, not a sum

from Elemental Forums

Unless something has changed, a unit with 5 figures and attack 25 actually does 5 strikes with 5 attack each. Defense gets substracted from each attack, making an attack 25 champion very different from a 25 attack 5 figure unit.

Please modify the UI slightly to convey this information to the player. Having 5x5 attack seems more informative than 25.

Uhh ? That's already the case O_o With my militia I can see 3x6.

Really? All I see is 25 for my unit of three spearmen. The tooltip shows the whole calculation though. Although the tooltip doesn't mention that the 7.5 are the ones being used for combat, not the end result 25.

Oh ! My bad. I thought you were talking about tactical combat.

In the "train" window of cities I only see the end result. Yes, it would be good to see 6x3 (or 3D6 :P) instead of 18.

I hadn't actually noticed the tactical combat, it's great if there's already the actual numbers. Thanks for pointing that out! The train window and strategic map unit card and other places would be better with the 3x6 format too, IMHO.

It should be the same everywhere - 3x3 and so on. The only place where it could be acceptable to see a sum is when you're selecting an army on the world map. Then, naturally, they should sum all the attack from all the units in the army.
