Hello all, does anyone know for sure:
1) How much damage does an eggy siege tower does to human units (not buildings)? I am guessing it is something like 3 pierce but do not really know for a fact?
2)Son of Osires - the stats I have says 60 hack. My question: when his bolt hits 2 or 3 units, does that spread out? For example, if you hit 2 Hersirs, does each of them get 30 hack for a total of 60, or does each of them get 60 hack for a total of 120?

i believe the SoO spreads out the damage, for example if it hits 3 units, it will do 20 hack to each, minus the armour.

Oh siege towers inflict pierce alright. Or else they would only damage human soldiers and heroes like 1 hp per arrow. Which they don't, it's more, therefore it is pierce. (human soldiers and heroes have 99% crush armor)

Fix check and answer all questions:
1) Siege towers do 2 damage to human units, or all units with 99% crush armor
2) Son of Osiris DO NOT SPREAD DAMAGE!!!!!!
Explain this question once more:
The damage counter:
Damage = unit damage X (1 - relative armor)/1 second
Most units do not make regular damage showed on the menu because they don't attack once per second. The number showed on menu is average damage per second in continuous fire.
However, among all these there are few extreme exceptions:
Phoenix
Nidhogg
Son of Osiris
Petchos
Man O war
Hydra/Scylla
Problem with Hydra/Scylla is their attack increases with head
Phoenix/Nidhogg's attack were countered as special ranged attack, which cause area damage (3 & 6 radius), and the damage showed on menu is damage per attack, rather than per second.
Petchos/Man O war/Son of Osiris uses attack 'lightning' and 'alternative lightning'(petchos), whose damage is calculated as damage per attack as well.
So, son of osiris attack each unit with full damage, 60. If a unit has 60% hack armor, the damage inflicted on unit will be around 20.
However, son of osiris attacks once every 2.5 seconds, which makes its real damage to be 22 per second.
With a chain more than 3 units, it is doing around its real damage, 66 per second, to an army.
And if it attacks less than 3 units, it is making 44 or 22 damages.
And if its lightning fully developed, it will make 88 damage per second, to an army, which is higher than the damage showed on menu.
And son of osiris has 5X multiplier against myth, so it will make 120 damage per hit to a fire giant (as fire giant has 60% hack armor and 60 X 5 X (1-60%)=120 )
Hope this explains.
Regards.
