Attacking help

Other than the fact that you forgot solds your calculation its correct.

Thus u end up with:
Def Bonus = B = DEF/(D_T* S1 + L_T * S2+ #solds)
Raw Defense Home = (L_T - L_O) * S2 + D_T * S1 +#solds-solds out

BTW If you have angel installed its VERY easy to get mod def at home. Copy SOT in angel. Def seen in sot should equal def angel says. Then do 1 theif som. Get number of solds out, number of leets out. Remove out solds/leets out from total, to get mod def...i get the same value when i use the calculation as above...not saying angel is god, but it definitely supports this over all the extra stuff Ethan says.

Angel doesn't run on OS X. Blame Steve Jobs.

Thanks for fixing the bit with soldiers.

Final word of warning - either your calc, or mine, requires you use the def/elite strengths, S1 and S2 (both for "B" and for the "RDef_Home"). My implementation is in excel, so I have to update it manually. Forgetting to do so is my #1 cause of bounces: watch out for that!

I see your point with the optimizations. Once I get this calc working right, and I make sure that I don't bounce, I'm going to try the optimizations that you posted.
