number of attacks indicator

[kupo]

First of all great game. I downloaded it last week, and have had a blast playing it. One issue I have, is that different units have different numbers of attacks with their various weapons. When you are attacking a unit, the game tells you how much damage the attacker and defender will deal per attack, but not how many times they will deal that damage. If this is indicated somewhere I haven't seen it. Great game.

It does. When it lists the attack, it says "10-2" that means 10 damage, twice. I think the Tutorial mission sais this, too.

Sorry about spelling, too lazy to spell check now.

check for example....skeleton
they have 7-3 under their attack meaning 3 times strikes of 7 damage

I knew I had to be missing something. Thanks, I must have missed that in the tutorial. In my experience 10-2 usualy means a random number from 10 to 2. Maybe change the terminology to 10x2 or something that makes the 10 twice a little more clear.

was suggested, I don't think it's in the tutorial; that's the problem.

good idea I was quite confused first times I played too

I would think that 10x2 is 10 attacks of damage 2.

Someone has already suggested a syntax like 10-2x in another thread.

see Statagies & tips topic I *just* figured out how number of attacks is displayed

the current syntax is good, it just needs to be explained more in the tutorial. Most of the other suggestions are just as bad as the current one (if not worse) or look ugly.
