So a lot of people probably already know that Creatures who are from the south have some kind of advantage when attacking a Creature from the north of them. What may not be known is the exact advantage that is in play here. While performing some testing, I was able to confirm this.
Creatures, when targeting a Creature to the north of them, gain a damage bonus of +50%.
I'm aware that this is a large percentage to increase a value by, which might be quite different from what people may remember. However, I am, at least to my knowledge, the first to discover the Workshop Glitch (and the explanation) for a reason. The reason why I'm finding this out is the same reason why I found the Workshop glitch, my patch uses a wider range of values so the differences are more apparent. Vanilla DKII uses very similar damage values across all units, the only exceptions being higher damage values within more uncommon units (Dark Angels, Vampires, and King Reginald). So it only makes sense that such a large damage bonus went unnoticed.
As for Possession, I didn't check differences in damage dealt to opponents, but I did check the differences in damage dealt to possessed Creatures.
Creatures in Possession seem to take only half damage as opposed to those who aren't possessed. North vs South bonuses also apply to Possession.
In short, I just reconfirmed that DKII is impossible to balance and Possession is broken.
I'm thinking about whether or not there should be a thread devoted to random, if useful, tidbits of information about DKII like this information. It could be a thing.
