 Because weapons modify attack rolls as well, it is generally only useful to look at the attack number in the unit attribute screen when planning [[thugs and supercombatants]]. Instead, look at the attack values associated with each weapon that the unit wields, which already include those modifiers. These numbers are also shown if you click on the Attack score in the attribute list. Because weapons modify attack rolls as well, it is generally only useful to look at the attack number in the unit attribute screen when planning [[thugs and supercombatants]].

 Defense is subject to a harassment penalty when a unit us outnumbered: They receive one point of harassment per turn, which is subtracted from defense. Mounted units only take half this penalty and often have high defense to begin with, so contrary to real history, they're unusually at home being bogged down by melee. This can be considered an abstraction as the game's [[scripting]] engine is not sufficiently sophisticated to represent breaking away for subsequent charges. Defense is subject to a harassment penalty when a unit us outnumbered: They receive one point of harassment per turn, which is subtracted from defense.
