Networth penalties on spellcasting

[Verminator]

I am 245k NW with 2.6 mod WPA.

Enemy is 30k NW with undoubtedly outrageous mod WPA.

Enemy just succeeded in 24 out of 27 Fireball attempts on me.

Could someome please explain again how the penalties work on spellcasting for large networth differences?

Does unbelievably high mod WPA trump NW differences at some point?

Yes

Time to start 3X massacring the provinces that are doing this to you Verm, since they are obviously on Land def now.

Pffffft i just got arse raped from 1350 acres to under 500 & I've been pumping science all age how much "land defence only" do think I have with my science ?

[Chrystal Palace]

i bet free would love it if you 4 times learned that prov instead!! come on do it for me!

[Hurlin]

only 2 things you can learn from me is one, how to be a noob and two ........ not give a ****

[Chrystal Palace]

verminator is at war with Free. i would never intentionally learn you hurlin. my troops are not dumb enough to ever enter your lands.

Successrate on FB are also less sensitive to RPNW than other spells. A way to make banks a bit more vulnerable.

I'd say the formula for spell success looks something like this: Spell difficulty x relative mWPA x relations x RPNW (+weight factor) x random fail factor. Where the weight factor make RPNW slightly less important for fireballs.

As far as I know the formula behind spell success has never been determined though, so I'm merely speculating here :)

FB doesnt have a rnw mod different to any other spell for difficulty, but it does have one for damage.

I was just surprised to find such a messy formula that would allow for such a huge networth gap to be bypassed like a hot knife through butter. There doesn't seem to be a lot you can do anymore to slow down a province in war, short of focusing frustrating amounts of effort and resources on that one province in the hopes that they're asleep when that final peasant dies. ;p

[Hurlin]

no chance all I had to do was fire off some land lust before I went to bed and because I had been brought down to a 12 WPA and +128.6% Magic Effectiveness in my science I never ever failed ........now for that spell I had to make sure I caste it at some one that had the same networth as me .... the poor bastard.

But some things never change if you don't run a massacre waves on a t/m and only hit them with TM all your doing is making them stronger

There's nothing messy about it. Magic counters big provinces by design.

It would make more sense if magic success rates were clearly explained.

Where's the confusion?
