I always thought that the defender had the advantage but I think I must be wrong about that.
I recall in an early game being surprised that my base didn't get completed but I didn't know why. I knew that my enemy was going to drop pop at wp0 so I calculated how many res I had left to deploy a base &, just to be "sure" calculated my pop loss at 1:1.
Since then I've always allowed a 10% margin when doing that calc but that isn't accurate.
In my duel with CCMaster I'm -f & I'd just lost my base. I calculated that CC had 237K pop to drop at wp0 & res at that planet was 594: 594 - 237 = 357 so I built a base worth 322 (allowing my 10% margin) & that worked out OK but the actual # res I had turned out to be 333.
I'm sure some of you guys know why & I know I'm being lazy but, rather than searching for the reason, could ya tell me? I hate it when I don't know my EXACT expectations.
BTW those extra 11 res would've allowed be to add 2 more Jihads & increased my chances from about 60% to around 75% so it doesn't sound like much but a handful of res can make a big difference.
