Advantage
On a battlefield, units fare slightly better against some types of opponents and worse against others. Part of this is due to the unit's strength and armor, but there are also some basic qualities. For example, archers are far better at shooting slowly moving targets than an enemy galloping on fast horses. We chose to imitate these basic qualities by a mechanic called Advantage.
A unit that has the Advantage against another has a slightly better chance to deal more hits when attacking. This is implemented by counting Bonus Damage () symbols from an attack dice roll as a regular Damage symbol.
A unit that does not have the Advantage against its enemy simply ignores the Bonus Damage symbols () rolled on its attack dice roll.
Advantage is implemented in a rock-paper-scissor manner.
