 The combat system works by matching the attack type with the resistance type.
-In the image below, the `Gallic Mercenary Cavalry` has a `6.5 Hack` attack and the `Athenian Hoplite` has a `5 Hack` resitance level. The value in brackets is the effective resitance percentage and calculated like this: 1-0.9^resitance level^ (1-0.9^5^ = 41%). For each attack made by the `Gallic Mercenary Cavalry`, 59% of their hack attack will deal damage to the `Athenian Hoplite`.[[BR]]
