July 26, 2019Richmond. I have a quick question regarding a certain matchup that came in one of my matches. If a creature with first strike blocks or becomes blocked by someone with death touch, does it still die?
First strike indicates that damage is dealt before the other creature, and deathtouch says that any amount of damage dealt is enough to kill a creature. So my reaction was to say that the first striker would kill the death toucher before it could do any death touching.I had a similar question about tramplers. If my 2/2 guy with first strike (say, Hanweir Lancer, SBed of course) deals damage to a 5/2 with trample, do I still receive the trample damage? It's a similar case as the deathtouch one, because I was sure that the creature had to do damage to something before trample could be taken into effect, and since first strike kills the creature before it can do that, nothing should trample.What's the verdict?.
Has anyone figured out exactly how this works? I haven't found an entry for it in the civilopedia.It's 4:00 am here and i've spent an hour looking on these forums for the info but I can't find it and I've lost patienceAnyways, the obvious.
If one unit has first strike, and the other doesn't, then I assume it means that the unit with first strike gets a chance to 'kill' a hitpoint of the other unit before any real fighting starts. I also assume this means that a normal roll is made, and that if the roll fails, it just means the first strike misses and then it goes to normal combat.Does first strike work when attacking as well as defense?What happens when both units have first strike?Anyways, anyone who can clear this up for me, I thank you!Also, I've noticed you can get up to Drill 4, which gives 2 extra first strikes. This means a navy seal, normally 1-2 first strikes, could have 3-4 first strikes, meaning it could outright kill another unit without even being shot back at. Is this correct? It appears that it's on attack as well as defense The exact mechanics I'm not sure of.Best bet is to experiment. If you have a war coming up, try different promotions and see what they do. I accidentally put barrage on one of my tanks last night and discovered that it was bashing the whole enemy stack when I attacked.
How Do Strikes Work
It never occurred to me that barrage was for anything but artillery. Put first strike on because I wanted to do some positional defense, and was getting first shots on the attack.Someone with more patience needs to work all this stuff up into a handy worksheet for us lazy folks. First strikes mean that the unit with them takes no damage in the first X rounds of battle.
(where X is the number of first strikes the unit gets). However as I know nothing about tha actual mechanics of the battle system I cannot enlighten you further.as for what happens if both units have the same number of first strikes. (things get more complex for first strike chances and what you do then)and your last statement is correct.
Also, the person who'll probably fill in the gaps of knowledge in this thread will be PieceOfMind.actually, why did you bump up a 4 year old thread? Holy necromancy, Batman!Some practical considerations:First strikes shine when you have excellent combat odds anyway; in particular they increase the chance of being entirely undamaged in the battle. They are also particularly useful against wounded opponents: Combat might do better against a Macemen but Drill might do better against a Rifleman reduced to strength 8.As such, Drill is an excellent promotion line for cleanup units relying on siege for the initial assault or to deal with vastly superior numbers of individually weak units (here it also reduces the ability of an opponent to equalise by throwing a ton of siege at you, because you also take less collateral damage). It is generally unattractive for 'fair' fights against units of comparable strength.
