Tower Damage

[Amadox]

We've just been talking in IRC and discovered an inconsistency between update notes and documentation for tower damage:

 

http://support.screeps.com/hc/en-us/articles/203079221-Structure#structure-tower

The Documentation states 600 hits at range 5 to 150 hits at range __25__

 

http://screeps.com/forum/topic/1210/PTR-Changelog-2016-02-04

The changelog from back when that was changed states 600 hits at range 5 to 150 hits at range __20__

 

Which is true?

Assuming, they are using their in-game constants, it's 20.

TOWER_POWER_ATTACK == 600
TOWER_OPTIMAL_RANGE == 5
TOWER_FALLOFF_RANGE == 20
TOWER_FALLOFF == 0.75

Given the two sources your cite, they just forgot to update the docu after the tower nerf.

This is identical to my observations of a 30 damage fall-off per square.

The correct range is 20, it was a mistake in the docs. Sorry for that.
