    Explain this math to me?

    If a province has only 88 soldiers at home for defense at 170% DME... has 550 acres land... yet reads over 2000 defense points in SoM 100%... what am I missing?

    don't forget you have the land def of 1 per acre so as I understanding you are looking at

    88+550=638*1.7= 1084.6 for normal 1 point solds

    then you have to look at what spells the guy has and what not since depending on race/persona he could jave Minor Prot, Greater Prot, or Town Watch up as well

    with out knowing the entire specs on the target prov that is the best I can do for you with the info given in the Original post.

    Minor/Greater Prot are reflected in the DME, but I hadn't considered TW, that might just be enough.

    But doesn't land defense only kick in when military is less than land defense and land defense becomes the only number? Didn't think you added defense AND acres in this case.

    Correct. If a province's defense is lower than their acreage, only land defense applies. It (land defense) doesn't stack with anything.

    My guess would be TW. If he has a large-ish number of peasants and/or you kill more than a handful of troops that should confirm TW is active.

    Fun fact just discovered:

    "Military" efficiency increases "land" defense.

    Alright I wasn't entirely sure on the details of this but I TW is only available to a few combos so I hope my thoughts on this helped some.

    the guy has town watch, or had a paladin cast town watch.

    and 2000/1.7=1176

    1176-88=1088*4=4353..

    If the guy has 4353 peasents and the 88 solds he could have 2000 def with 1.7 DME.
