Scaling and attack/defense

[Turock]

Some questions have been raised reguarding the scaling vs attack and defense in the games. I know looking through the code that the only thing the scaling seems to effect is the number of units displayed. The real values stored in the database are the same as they have always been.

So just to confirm, does the scaling in fact have any effect on the attack or defense of empires in the game?

Nope, none at all. But people will imagine anything, absolutely anything. I designed it to affect only display precisely to avoid all this rubbish.
You should be able to explain it to them, if they have some sense.
