- A reference guide and manual in Russian for Heroes 3.

I have a question: logically, with equal armies and equal skills (the attack of a Crag Hack is equal to the defense of any hero with a defense skill), the attack should exceed the defense level, because expert defense provides 15% while the attack provides 30%. The influence of a 5% increase in attack/defense affects the same modifiers, i.e., it affects both skills equally but in opposite directions.
In reality, it turns out that I am taking away a negligible number of troops from an opponent with the "defense" skill, while my attack exceeds the opponent's defense skill by 10 points!
