So what is the point? if it's -100, why doesn't it show that? and why does it behave as if it's 10 if it's really -100?

Can't have troops with negative health wink

but they have negative health, whether it shows or not

The lowest effective honor is 10.  So no matter how bad you are, your troops will always have 10% of their health due to honor.  However the actual honor counter can drop as low as a person is willing to let it drop. 

I do think it would make more sense if instead of just "Honor: x%" it is changed to:

"Your honor is currently x%
Your troops will fight with y% health, and your production is at y%"

There are 10 types of people in the world.  Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Re: questions about the game

I know I can be slow and I don't always understand the geek speak that is banded about this place. But it seems pretty simple to me. if your honour is -100 then tell the player it's that...in fact shame them by saying:
'OMG you attacked someone well below your rank, you should be ashamed, what's up you too coward to hit someone your own size??'

I don't think we are on different thoughts with that one big_smile

As far as the number displayed goes, no matter how low it gets, it will never display below 10.  I think it would be good to display the 10, along with the actual honor.  The 10 is good, as from a gameplay and programming standpoint, things get very confusing if this number is allowed to go to 0, or below.
