Converted units during Battles

[Alcibiades]

During BRs, units converted (for example new nanos 'assimilated' by your enemy) are not present in the remainder of the BR i assume, right?

For example:

Attacking Nanos
[middle] 20,898 allied Werewolf attacked, killing 20,459 hostile staff.
[middle] 92,688 allied Political Mastermind attacked, distracting 909,018 hostile staff.
[middle] 1,950 allied Biker attacked, killing 118 hostile staff.
[middle] 6,921 allied Terrorist attacked, killing 12,400 hostile staff.
[middle] 76,287 allied Rebel threw objects at and stunned 14,286 hostile staff.
[middle] 23 allied Siren sang out, freezing in place 8 hostile staff.
[middle] 64,761 allied Witch attacked, killing 29,838 hostile staff.
[middle] 2,961 allied Hooligan attacked, disabling 734 hostile staff.
[middle] 32,444 allied Hippy Van attacked, distracting 12,042 hostile staff.
[middle] 127,301 allied Sorcerer attacked, killing 113,350 hostile staff.
[middle] 28,654 allied Sniper attacked, killing 30,324 hostile staff.
[middle] 21,500 allied Loudspeaker Protestor shouted in the ears of and distracted 9,247 hostile staff.
[middle] 3,937,271 allied Ninja attacked, killing 510,183 hostile staff.
[middle] 42,624 allied Automoton attacked, killing 46 hostile staff.
[middle] 66,657 allied Petrol Bomber lobbed Molotov Cocktails and killed 47,653 hostile staff.
[middle] 1,001,393 hostile Nanobot proved resistance was futile to 5,412,837 allied staff.
[raised] 718,588 new nanobots were assimilated.
[middle] 85,844 allied Nanobot proved resistance was futile to 26,958 hostile staff.
[raised] 1 new nanobots were assimilated.
[middle] 427,364 allied Hypnotist mesmerised 211,237 hostile staff.
[middle] 2,031 allied Shock Trooper attacked, killing 1,015 hostile staff.
[middle] 43,696 allied Jeep attacked, killing 7,922 hostile staff.
[middle] 4,159,682 allied Puppet Master pulled some strings and bribed 2,403,913 hostile staff.
[middle] 171,117 allied Apprentice attacked, killing 55,294 hostile staff.
[middle] 2,228 allied Officer attacked, killing 655 hostile staff.
[middle] 1,660,192 allied Political Briber attacked, bribing 367,430 hostile staff.

Those 718k Nanos are no longer present for the Puppets to fire upon, right?

correct. the 'new converts' are not actually part of the persons army until after battle is resolved.

or a really basic way via game terms... when bribing/converting happens... the new 'units' would be returning eta 1 (or returning from the field) and when the battle/turn ticker is over (however many miliseconds later) viola, your units are included in your staff count and haxor.

Sweet. I thought it worked like that but since i rarely use/target converted units it's always nice to have confirmation

Thanks G-man.

 

[Garrett]

i've not bribed in some time. i should do so maybe at some point. i did enjoy someone else's troops every once and again.

It works exactly as Garrett described, but just for the sake of technical explanation code/ticker order wise;

Any time anything generates new units - bribing or converting - it inserts them to your staff at home, though this only counts after all the current tick's battles have happened, because before any battle calculations start taking place, the ticker sort of takes a "snapshot" of all troops currently present at any location... and then those values are what are used for all battles, so anything "new" will have missed out on that snapshot.
