<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Defensive power''' (DP) is a measurement of the defensive strength of a unit or [[dominion|dominion's]] entire army. It may include defensive power from offensive units at home ([[#Turtle|turtle]]).<br />
<br />
DP is calculated by adding up the raw DP and then applying DP modifiers (mods).<br />
<br />
== Raw DP ==<br />
<br />
Raw DP is made up of your [[military|specialist DP units and your elite DP units]]. [[Goblin]] notably does not have an elite DP unit and instead relies on Shaman as its sole dedicated defensive units. [[Troll]] uses the same unit (Smasher) as both elite OP and elite DP unit.<br />
<br />
Draftees count as 1 DP each, unless attacked by a [[Dark Elf]] with the [[magic|spell Unholy Ghost]] cast, in which case draftees do not participate in battle at all.<br />
<br />
== Turtle ==<br />
<br />
Most races have a small amount of DP on their elite offensive units. For example, [[Human]] Cavalry have 6 OP and 3 DP. The 3 DP is referred to as '''turtle DP'''.<br />
<br />
'''To turtle''' means to either [[invade]] but leave a significant amount of turtle DP at home, or to not attack and keep your offensive units at home.<br />
<br />
Units without turtle, such as specialist offensive units and [[Dark Elf]] Spirit Warrior pose a risk to attackers, who might gain land and not be able to defend it after entering the [[range]] of a new, stronger attacker.<br />
<br />
== DP mods ==<br />
<br />
* [[Magic]]: everyone can cast Ares' Call for +10% DP, but some races have even more powerful defensive spells; [[Halfling]] and [[Icekin]].<br />
* [[Buildings|Guard Towers]]: a modifier building often used later in the [[round]], or early in the round to gain speed, especially by races with expensive or inefficient DP units. <br />
* [[Castle#Castle_Parts|Walls]]: a slower and efficient way to grow your DP with [[castle]] improvements. <br />
* [[Morale]]: a multiplicative bonus which can lower DP bonuses.<br />
<br />
All DP mods, except for morale, are additive (summed up together):<br />
<br />
<code>[Spell] + [Guard Towers Bonus] + [Walls] = DP bonus</code><br />
<br />
If morale is less than 100%:<br />
<br />
<code>( [Spell] + [Guard Towers Bonus] + [Walls] ) * [Morale Penalty] = DP bonus</code><br />
<br />
If you are calculating a potential target's DP mods, make sure to deduct your [[Buildings|Temples]] bonus from the target's DP bonus (down to a minimum of +0% DP mods).<br />
