Attack Boost

The Attack Boost is a feature of some buildings and items to increase the attack value of attacking units by a certain percentage. The attack boost can also be activated in the Friends Tavern by paying for it with Tavern Silver.

The attack boost only benefits the attacking units, units defending the city will not be affected. To increase the stats of the defending units players may use the defense boost.

When having multiple attack boosts, either from buildings or from items, those percentages are stacked. Then the unit's base attack value is increased by the result.
