Description

Looks like Artillery (AoE) is doing too much damage to CI. When a standard HE Arrow IV round (20/10) hit one tile off from an exposed CI platoon it did 4 groupings totaling 60 damage. Calculation should be only 40 max for one tile off. 10 ->(divide by .5 for AoE) -> 20 -> (double for in open terrain) -> 40.

Looking at the (20,20,10,10) grouping it seems like it is calculating the damage to CI before terrain effects (10->20) then dividing to damage groupings of 5 (4x5) then applying BOTH the AoE effect and the Open Terrain effect (5->10->20). Conjecture that last two are only 10 (and not showing open effect as applying) as ghosts cannot be in open terrain.

Thumper Cannon does 5 AE damage, which is doubled to 10, then each cluster of 5 damage from that 10 is doubled twice to 20, doing a total of 40 damage. One too many doublings.
