    Warhero (WH) Conversion rate/formula

    Does anyone know the formula? Can it be manipulated by increasing your own casualties? Does Animate Dead decrease conversion? etc....

    Thanks

    It's tied to gains, not casualties.

    I'm not entirely sure what all the factors are, but most of them are the same factors as land gains. I know another one is how many elites you have (you'll have better conversions if 5% of your army is elites vs 30%, for example). I think there's been discussions on this before if you want to look them up

    It is a sliding scale based on all the same networth factors as land hits (province relative networth majorly, and kingdom relative networth minorly, and gangbang protection). It is also based on the % of your army that is specs. The max conversions you can get is 20%.

    Palem, i always thought it was based on the % of specs in the army you sent, not your overall military ratio.

    From my understanding the conversions only work with traditional march. I had made a suggestion before that conversions should happen with plunders massacres and abducts too, but it never gained any traction. I still think it would be a worthwhile change to conversions.

    I'm fairly sure it's overall army. I remember Bishop saying that in one of these threads a while back

    Did some testing on this last age. What I found out is when I hit within a nw range of 90-110%, 12.5% of the off specs I sent converted to elites. Oversending does not increase the amount of specs converted, if you send 125% your targets nw, it'll use that conversion rate on only 80% of the specs you sent and ignore the rest. Amount of elites sent does not influence the 12,5% of offspecs converted. For hitting further out of nw range, the conversion rate is reduced; it seems to be tied to the gains formula. Same with adjusting attack times and hitting in and from fortified stance. I have heard the conversion is doubled up to 20% when you hit and have 0 elites in your army, but I never had 0 elites, so never had the opportunity to test it. Hope this helps.

    New guy here, well back from the dead actually... Question on War Hero conversion: Guide says "on successful land attacks" but I have the feeling it means only traditional?

    I think yes. Conq and ambush are considered failed attacks.
