Defending Land Area

[Syzygy]

While playing around with a battle-odd-calculator and comparing the results with ingame-screenshots I have noticed that the results seem to match only if the calculator uses the 'purchased land' value (difference to ingame-screenshots is around +/- 1% then, but I assume that are rounding issues). However, if I let the calculator use the 'Total Land' values, the results are off. I am almost sure the calculator itself works exactly how the game mechanics are explained and documented.

Can the admin please check if in the battle-odds-screen purchased or total land is used for the calculations?

Can the admin please check if in the battle-outcome-calculation purchased or total land is used?

Logical would only be total land, because else the defense bonus from modifiers is pretty useless.

Thanks.

I am pretty sure it is only purchased land which counts for battle calculations.

That is all that is visible in the ground attack pre-attack screen.

nope, that seems to be fixed, the pre-attack screen shows total land as "defending land area". The question is: is that also used in the calculations? And my feeling says "no, the game only uses purchased land for calculating the odds" - which should imho not be the case, because that would minimize the use of land-boosing resources at all (well you still get some citizens, but that is only a very very low impact).

The game uses the total nation size of a nation.
