Dumb question...
On my profile, there are numbers for "A: D: M: HP:" I assume this is my unit rating a la CivII. But the numbers keep changing... what makes them change? How are they related?
I looked in the FAQ, and if it's there, it's well hidden.

i think the following thread is the most concise explanation given to date:
http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=55702
see saggy d's and phoenixcager's posts (4th and 5th)

I think MarkG needs a script that looks for people posting questions about these stats and then automatically posts a link to that thread.

Nah, the +1 effect will ensure they always get a reply.
Something I just thought of though, it would probably be a good idea if the Posts Stats: title in a user's profile was a link to a decent explanation.
Having this info in the faq would make linking to the faq much easier too.

I wonder when Mark is going to make something more of the stats?
(Such as my earlier suggestion )

It might be useful for you to repeat that suggestion, for those of us with bad memories.

Come now Scouse. Helping out your fellow poster isn't spam. This is old news to you or I but some people haven't heard yet.

Well, the basic idea was for people with a certain attack rating to receive a custom unit and a custom unit title: therefore: at attack rating 1-30 you would be assigned a land unit, 1 being warrior and 30 being armor... then at level 31-40 you would be assigned a sea unit... then from level 40-60 you would be able to pick any sea/land unit... at level 60-70 you would be able to pick any air/sea/land and at level 70-100 you would be able to pick any unit (including unocnventional)
Therefore; your stats would reflect the type of unit that you had...
I outlined it better in the real thread and Mark said he might possibly consider considering it

We should all battle with our statistics. Let the beatdowns commence.

That would be fun, but the stats don't work out too well for that. Some people have a defence of 99 for instance, so they would never lose. Other (when just going up a level) have NO hit-points. They would go to do battle and die on the way.

Attack
Defence
Movement
Hit Points
That, or they are meaningless. You choose.

They are pretty meaningless from what I saw before.......since hitpoints cycle. Skanky will be on 0 after a few more posts.

IIRC, when HP gets to 100, it resets to 0 and you get another A
