They attacked planted earth with only a 1k troops against 150k and take losses down to about 5 or 600 and I loose all 150,000. Along with plant earth. Seems the land combat is way out of line.

Also the Soldiering and Technology advantage take a big role too. Before I was trying to take a Dregin planet, they had very few people but they were leaps and bounds ahead of me on both of those advantages.

Arent all those factors added in (along with a random element) to give the advantage factor number displayed on the land battle screen? That's presumably the 42/2 he was speaking about.

I've found the battle factor number to be fairly accurate.. Once I 'rolled' a 7 - 7, (1 to 1), and the losses on both sides were exactly the same (2000 even).. 15 - 6 odds (~2.5 to 1) produced ~2.5 more billion dead per attacking billion..

So, by those odds, the 42 to 2 should have only wiped out 16 to 23 billion, not 150. It sounds to me that something's a little off in the battle Titanwarrior experienced. (maybe he was fighting genetically-enhanced, near-ascended Tor .
