Editing AI/Fight Value (section)

== Stack value ==
The value of a stack of creatures (SV) (used by the AI, to an extent, to determine a target to attack), does not follow directly from the stack size and the unit's Fight Value. Instead, the following formula is used:

{{Math|SV <nowiki>=</nowiki> Total HP / HP &times; {{sqrt|Sf &times; ASf &times; Df &times; DSf &times; SGf &times; Af &times; (BA &times; 0.05 + 1) &times; (BD &times; 0.05 + 1)}} &times; FV|
<br>{{---}}• SV is Stack Value
<br>{{---}}• Sf is Shield factor: % defense from the Shield spell if it affects the stack, provided the attacker is not able to shoot;
<br>{{---}}• ASf is Air Shield factor: % defense from the AirShield spell if it affects the stack, provided the attacker is able to shoot;
<br>{{---}}• Df is Damage factor: average damage / (0.5 * (damage ceiling + damage floor)), which essentially checks for presence of Bless / Curse.
<br>{{---}}• DSf is Double-Shot factor: 2 if the unit shoots twice
<br>{{---}}• SGf is Stone Gaze factor: 0.5 if Stone Gaze affects the unit
<br>{{---}}• Af is Armourer factor: % of damage taken after the Armorer skill is taken into account
<br>{{---}}• BA is Bonus Attack: bonus attack the unit has due to hero stats and specialty
<br>{{---}}• BD is Bonus Defence: bonus defence the unit has due to hero stats and specialty
<br>{{---}}• FV is the unit's Fight Value}}

{{Math|Total HP <nowiki>=</nowiki> (Number of units &times; HP per unit - damage taken)}}
