Damage Formula
( BD * AH) * (( 100 - TC * DH ) / 100) )
BD = Base Damage, as in, the damage listed on the damage chart
AH = Attacking Unit HP
TC = Terrain Cover. Add 10 per terrain star.
DH= Defense Unit HP
Story
Essentially the game starts off with our general on a helicopter that falls asleep on the ride to the next assignment. The officer's dream is actually a memory of a war that happened 15 years earlier. That's where the basic plot of the resource securing war starts. Essentially the flashback is a forced tutorial that teaches you how to play while building up the plot of the first war.
One of the outcomes of the war is a new organisation formed by the super powers fighting in the earlier war. It is essentially a stronger UN that is put together to stop the rest of the wars that have not ceased (because the war plunged many countries into war). Our CO is a decorated general from the first war put in charge of conquering the countries, upon which the supreme court of the "UN" decides whether or not the country deserves to be allowed to re-establish its own government or whether it gets a puppet until the UN later decides that they can run themselves.
Under this UN there is prosperity etc. as stuff is reallocated like communism but not quite.
Our CO essentially goes and fights in different countries around the world and essentially learns of a plot.
