| Author | Caravans decrease after loss | 
			
As this topic is already obsolete: 
https://www.lordswm.com/forum_messages.php?tid=1875756 
I have to start new one 
 
Here is nice simple example how pitiful is the decrease of caravan after loss 
 
86	Devils 
13	Mistresses 
39	Succubi 
 
after loss came this one: 
 
84	Devils 
0	Mistresses 
44	Succubi 
 
after another loss I got: 
 
82	Devils 
14	Mistresses 
21	Succubi 
 
I did all 3 caravans with same arts within last few days. So this is the proof that decrease rate is smaller than 2,5% and its really irrelevant.    | 
| The old decrease rate people used was 2%.  Looking at your examples I would say 2% looks correct given the dynamic balancing.  | 
| It doesn't matter much as long as the increase is in proportion to this decrease.  If you keep the same sort of arts you will eventually win 40% of caravans or whatever the stable win-loss ratio is.  | 
Though I also remember one of the other rates people used was 5%.  So if using that rate, I would say there's something wrong. 
 
But who knows, this could still be part of the V-day update where not only were the formula coefficients changed, but maybe a few new variables were added. 
 
But keep the examples coming.  Many players are interested in how this works.  | 
I have a few examples of demon caravans, i hope it can help (but not only decrease also in increase) : 
 
I lost to this one : 
6 hell Horses 
60 Cerberi 
258 Wolfhounds 
 
after i lost it became (i won this one) : 
4 Devils 
177 Cerberi 
 
after i won, it became (i won again) : 
4 Devils 
162 Cerberi 
49 Wolfhound 
 
after i won, it became (i won again) : 
13 Hell horses 
248 Cerberi 
 
after i won,it became :  
8 Hell horses 
97 Cerberi 
282 Wolfhound 
and i lost this last one 
 
All of them with min art, almost same arts (i use hauberk in some ambushes above)  | 
| Hmm the rate of 2% should be counted by the damages, attack, defence and HPs of the creatures come ..  | 
Another examples with DE Caravans : 
 
I loss to this one 
20 Hydras 
131 Rogues 
139 Shrews 
 
 
after i loss, it became : 
28 Liz Cavalry 
116 Rogues 
149 Shrews 
 
after i loss again, it became : 
28 Hydras 
122 Rogues 
110 Shrews  | 
I just met same type of DE caravan. Now it became : 
7 Liz Cavalry 
110 Rogue 
151 Shrew  | 
| There isn't only ONE caravan for each faction. There are more. And when you lose ONE, only that ONE gets easier.  |

If you have questions about caravans go to Queries and Help. 
They are simply trying to figure out by how much % the caravans strenght is increased / decreased if you win / lose.  | 
I share my caravans data. All of them are played after valentine update when admins raised power for DE players so all data are comparable. It is excel and orange cells mean lost caravan, green cells mean won caravan. everything played with same art. Oldest are on the right, newest on the left so you have to read from right to left to see the progress 
I played more than 250 caravans from valentine so there is enough data to study:)

| i would be inetrested to know the minimum caravans strength.. the point where you know that even when you lose it won't make it easiern ext time  | 
for Wurmtog: 
Minimum caravan strength is very difficult to pin down, but in general I would estimate 3:1 loss ratio in order for someone reach that limit (this is assuming it even exists).  | 
barbarian caravans at level 13 are almost impossible:

These are the decreased versions. Especially the second one is really impossible.      |
