Tb Question

If I tb someone's stack with 40% of unit first move and he moves it first move too.
Then that's a 40% chance right?

Well what if for my second move I attacked same stack with 20% of units from another source that cannot be tbbed.

Since each move's tb probability is 50% less effective each move from the 1st move you make. 20% of units should only add 10%.

So does this theoretically mean both chances add up to 50%?

So this is what I get from it.

Let say I am trying to TB 10 infantry

1st move I send 1 unit from one place
2st move I send another unit from other place
3st move I send 5 units from another place.

What are my chances of sucess? and do I have 3 different chances or they get mixed up

I believe the % chance of tb would be 70/2/2 so 17.5%, all 7 units would be counted as a third priority tb attempt. However it would take me 100s of tests to form any reliable conclusion on this. What i do know however, is that you wont have a 70% chance of tb, the units sent wont be counted as a first priority tb attempt. Either the tb % chances are summed up or the tb % is all calculated from the last move. Whatever the case may be it is not very important for gameplay.


This about wraps up the guide and sums up all the known knowlege involving tbs. please post any questions, additions or corrections below.

So basically from what I'm getting is. It is better to send 40% from one source first move for 40% chance.

Than to send 40% from one source + 10% from second source because they both count as second move tbs so 25%?

That would go to explain a lot of things.

As far as I understand it, yes.
The game does not count individual units so when you attack a city with multiple stacks the game does not know which unit came from which stack in which move, so lumps them all together (this is why you can't undo moves if you merge stacks, the game can't tell which units came from where).

K so you get punished for trying to tb with more than 1 move. That would explain a lot of fail tbs

no only the tb % from the first move counts. Merged units dont add to that %.

Ah okay thanks for clarification. The way you worded it was ambiguous.
