God Combat

This page has been made to explain the basic system of combat used in the Lords of Tandem wiki. These rules have been modified from those provided by the Lord of Creation wiki.

Attacking
Combat in the game is very simple and doesn't require any kind of dice rolling. Instead, to determine how well your god will fair you need only add together your weekly AP gain with several bonuses and  it is as simple as that.

The standard AP earned a week is 4 although this can vary from god to god and the chances are you know what your AP gain is. This is your base attack score. Essentially, if this is higher than someone else's than you can beat them in combat.

Within combat the defender always recieves a -1 penalty unless otherwise noted, and it should also be known that multiple gods can be included in combat. Whenever one group of gods in combat outnumber whoever it is they are fighting, attackers or not, each god in their group recieves a -1 penalty to their attack. Otherwise when multiple gods are in combat simply add their score together depending on their side.

If the example gods Assio, Kaign and Niado were to go into combat, this is how we would calculate the battle. Let's assume Kaign and Niado are fighting against Assio together. Both Kaign and Niado's AP gain is 4, we need to -1 from both scores before adding them together, this would give an attack score of 6. Assio has an AP gain of 6, although since he is on the defending side he recieves a -1 penalty, making his score 5. Thus Assio would lose the battle.

When a battle is won the losing side will have their AP gain reduced by the number of points they lost by, in the example above Assio would reduce is AP gain by 1, making it 5. When a god's AP is reduced to 0 they are either killed or imprisoned, depending on the wish of the defeated god. If a god wishes it they may simply die in one short combat.

Bonuses and Penalties
There are a number of bonuses and penalties used in combat to help determine who has edge over their opponent. These are to be discussed with all the battling gods previous to the end of the combat.

. Defending gods reduce their attack score by 1

. Gods battling in a plane created by them increase their attack score by 1

. Gods may exchange an equivalent number of AP to their AP gain for an increase of their attack score of 1,   this may be done multiple times depending on a god's AP

. Gods with artifacts that increase their AP gain do not count towards combat, however artifacts can be made   which increase their attack score. This must be done at least 1 day prior to attacking a god
