I have 6649 defense in my profile right now, all my defense buildings are level 1 except for 1 level 2 gatling tower, so my actual defense is pretty much sitting right at what it shows in my profile. I have 60 defense skill points allocated in my profile as well.
Someone just attacked me with a 5-5 record. They are showing 4966 attack in their profile.
Why in the hell is the game set up so that someone with 75% of my attribute total can go toe to toe with me in battle? This guy would have to have an incredibly high attack point allocation to even come near me on the total score, since he'd have to be over 60 points in attack just to break even with me. I also looked at his inventory and he does not have a black widow like I do. I think the combat system is broken as ****, there's too much of a random number coefficient involved. I think it's crap that I can set myself up as best as possible with all the best stuff, and still lose a fight thanks to a **** roll in the combat system.
