You want the blitz slider to use # of troops instead of % of troops

-# posting in case it was difficult to interpret meaning from examples

ah cool thxs for the explanation

[lethal oar]

but how would it know when to stop? The point of saying “only use three troops” is to limit your losses to three troops. With the change you suggest, it would use all your troops all the way down to three remaining if you kept losing. And you would be getting worse odds too boot.

No they mean if they set to 5 troops they want to keep rolling 5 troops,
what it does currently is if 5 troops is 20%, if you roll it and lost some troops, it may move to 4 troops (to stay at or as close to 20% as possible)

[lethal oar]

but why would you ever do that? my understanding of the current option is it is a “limit your losses blitz”. but the proposed option doesn’t have any advantage that i can see, only disadvantage.

Most obvious example would be true random, you may want to roll with 3 attackers, until you succeed - or cancel if you lost say 10 troops. It moving by % rather than troop # might feel unexpected
