Line 10: Line 10:
 Harassment simulates how units get distracted by having many foes fighting them at the same time. Each melee attack directed at them in a combat round reduces their [[Defence Skill]] by 1. [[Repel]] attempts done by the defender also increment the Harassment penalty, but failed attempts are not double-counted. Harassment cannot bring Defence Skill below zero, and harassment of [[mounted|mounts]] and their riders is counted separately. Harassment simulates how units get distracted by having many foes fighting them at the same time.

-The harassment penalty decays over periods where the subject is not attacked in melee, by a percentage. The per-round decay rate is not stated in the manual. **In Dominions 5**, the harassment penalty was multiplied by 95% every 16/375ths (somewhere between 1/23 and 1/24) of a combat round, so a full combat round without harassment reduced the penalty by just about 70%.+There's an order to what parts of Defence Skill are reduced by Harrassment. First it takes your base Defence Skill. Then it takes the Parry bonus from your Shield; yes, Harrassment considers this Defence Skill. Then it takes the part of your Defence Skill granted by Armor and Shields; if your Defence Skill from these is **negative**, the penalty overlaps with Harrassment instead. Only once all of that is gone, does Harrassment go after the part of your Defence Skill granted by your Weapons.

The subject's Defense Skill modifiers return before their base Defense Skill, in reverse order of how they're listed; the Weapon Defense bonus comes back first (if the subject has one), followed by their Armor/Shield Defense bonus (if they have one, perhaps due to [[items]]), and then followed by the Parry bonus (if the subject has a Shield). Strangely, these bonuses appear to return even while being attacked, though that may just be the formula bugging out at such high values.
