Death Chance in Battles Explained - Bannerlord

hey guys it's hero I'm gonna break down the survival chance in battles to start there are three ways to guarantee survival in battle one is to have the final blow be in the form of blunt damage the other two have to do with game difficulty settings these will always return 100 chance of survival or a zero percent chance of death but we don't use those options anything else will return a chance of death and that is the reason we're really here there are factors that determine the survival chance firstly in the calculation the base starts off as one and gets factors applied to it the surgeon survival bonus from the party's surgeon this is based on their skill level so medicine skill level times .01 this gets added to the base then if the surgeon from the opposing party has Dr zoath his surgeon's survival bonus applies as well so his medicine skill level times .01 and add that to the base the next factor is the character's level the higher the level the higher the chance of survival take the level times .02 and add that to the base next is the sum of all of the armor times .01 add up those four numbers and multiply by .01 and add that to the base then the character's age times negative 0.01 and add that to the base so this is lowering the chance the higher the age the lower the chance of survival the calculation at this point is 1 divided by the base number times 50 plus the base number this value is our new base number the next factor is the cheat death secondary perk which will add a negative 0.5 to a factor list in the end this effectively cuts the death chance in half and the last Factor we don't use very often but if the hero is a member of the player's Clan we'll use another Factor based on the game difficulty settings specifically Clan member death chance and add that to the factor list so either negative one if 100 is selected negative 0.5 if 50 is selected or zero if realistic is selected that's the option we usually use now we run our final calculation base times the fact list plus the base this times 100 is our chance of death if we go down in battle it may sound complicate so I made a spreadsheet that does the calculation for you I'll put it on flesens and strats Discord if there is a place for it there let's run some test calculations and see how these factors affect your Survival let's say you're starting out we have no medicine level one no armor and H20 and looters won't have doctor self we'll have a 2.39 chance of dying if we go down in battle if we change the armor to 60 pretty easy to acquire the death chance drops shaving one percentage point off the chance another example within the first year of the game it's easy to get 25 medicine level 10 and 60 armor and of course h21 your chance of death drops down to 1.07 percent as you improve your surgeon's medicine skill and upgrade your armor this just keeps dropping consider some random Lords chance of death you know you've tried to kill the Lord in battle I have to if they're level 30 their armor total is 180. they have good gear they're age 40 and their surgeon has 100 medicine they'll have a 0.49 chance of dying and if you have doctors oaf and say 100 medicine it drops to 0.39 percent that's why it's so hard to kill Lords in battle notice no matter what we do there's always a chance of death even though it may be small Pleasant did some field testing in a recent video on the importance of armor on the chance of death here are a few scenarios to help his point with no medicine level one no armor and age 20 you have a 2.39 chance of dying if you get the highest armor pieces in the game the chance goes down to 0.63 percent with 300 medicine and no other help the chance drops to 0.51 percent with both medicine and armor the chance drops to less than a third of a percent so the two most important factors are medicine level and armor that's it if I've missed anything or if you have any questions let me know in the comments thanks for watching peace out [Music]
