Battle Algorithm

[Idrox0]

I like this one.

NPC Code:

---

Attack = Power + Random(int(Power/8));

M = int(Strength * Level / 128) + 2;

Defense = OpponentsDefenseFactor;

Damage = (Attack - Defense) * M;

---

Such is the 'Swords' damage formula of Final Fantasy V. You could also use this one (which would only really be accurate for blunt weapons):

NPC Code:

---

Damage = int(WeaponWeight^2 / Strength);

As inneficient as it is may read to you guys its probably the best bet.

Come up with something, and time test it, and revise, until it works. No one makes anything perfect the first time they try, it can always be improved or changed later. Eventually it will work well and youll go from there, if you had any doubt about that, i do notice Zodiac is actually on the classic list, so its got to work somehow.

I think I found a good algorithm

Damage = int(WeaponWeight^.75 + ((Strength * Power) /2));
