The damage/defence/creaturenumber formula?
Hello!
I'm a big homm fan, and I recently decided to make my own version of it (mostly for learning more about programming)
I've made the base combat system, and I'd like to use the same damage calculations as Heroes III.
Does anybody know the formula?
My first try was something like this:
other.losehp= floor(damage*armynumber)*(1-(other.defence/1000))/10
(floor removes all decimals of the variables inside "()")
...but that doesn't work very well.

of course it doesn't because it seems to me that you forgot about the attackers attack points 
The formula for Heroes 2 was something like:
if a hits b:
Total_Dmg = Dmg_a + Dmg_b x (Att_a - Def_b) x 10%
All that multiplied with the number of creatures in a stack, of course.
But I don't know if this still stands for Heroes 3...
and I just copied that from an old games magazine I have, so don't curse me if it's bogus

What, the dmg of the defender (b) affects the damage it takes?

As far as I remember:
For every point of attack over defense, creature inflicts 5% more damage (capped at 300%)
For every defense point over attack, the creature takes 2% less damage (capped at 40%)
This system has its limits, that is why I prefer H5 one

You have everything explained in a PDF.

Thanks for the link!
That will help me solve a lot of the problems.
But I didn't understand much of the damage calculations, so (at least for a temporary solution) I'll go for Warmonger's solution

It is 2,5% each point less...not 2%...for Heroes 3 that is.
