====== Harassment ======

Every time a unit is attacked or prevents an opponent from attacking through repelling, it gets a point of harassment penalty. Each point of harassment penalty reduces the unit’s defense by 1. The penalty is multiplied by 95/100 every 320 [[ticks]] (or 23.4375 times a round)((Based on analysis of the Dominions 5.51b executable.)), so the penalty goes down quickly if it is high and the unit is no longer being attacked. 

A weapon with multiple attacks inflicts 1 point of harassment penalty for each one of its multiple attacks.

<WRAP column 30px>{{:nations:ea:helheim:dis.png?nolink |}}</WRAP>[[Mounted]] units are only half as affected when defending, suffering only half of their harassment penalty (rounded down). A mounted unit completely surrounded by 3-per-square, 1-attack-per-turn units bottoms out at -12 defense harassment penalty. Note that the harassment penalty for [[repel|repelling]] is not halved.

<WRAP column 30px>{{:abilities:unsurroundable.png?nolink}}</WRAP> A unit with [[Unsurroundable]] will receive a reduced harassment penalty from being attacked multiple times in a round. Eg. Unsurroundable(3) means a unit can be attacked 3 times before receiving any harassment penalty.

Harassment replaces Multiple Attack Penalty in previous iterations of Dominions
