Game Mechanics

Disease damage is based around three things:

  • The disease effectiveness (or strength)
  • The target's current battle fatigue
  • The combat medic's Combat Medicine Effectiveness modifier


Tick Damage

To calculate disease damage, the following formula is used:

Real tick damage =

((disease effectiveness) * (1 + (CM effectiveness) / 100)) * (1 + (target battle fatigue / 100))


Disease effectiveness includes the disease strength stat on a creature's attack, the combat medic's disease packs or the strength value on dot weapons. Disease sources that dont use CM effectiveness modifier would use 0 for this part of the formula.


Battle Fatigue Accrual

As diseases run their course on a target, they will accumulate battle fatigue. The rate at which diseases generate battle fatigue on the target uses the following formula:

Battle fatigue incurred = Real Tick Damage * .075
