Attack/Defend Dialog
Here are the three possible results of a battle:
Win: You captured the pirate for this expedition (island). The pirates will get him back for the next expedition.
Lose: The pirate captured your nav for this expedition (island). You'll get him back for the next expedition.
Tie: Neither one was captured, but both got more tired (lost energy). After one or two ties you might try attacking the pirate with a fresh nav now that you've made him weaker.
The Attack/Defend dialog tells you:
1) In the larger print: The chance your nav will win the fights
that do not end in a tie. In the above example, there is a 49%
chance that the nav will win the 40% (100% - 60%) of the fights that
do not end in a tie.
2) In the smaller print: What chance the fight will end in a tie. In
the above example there is a 60% chance that the fight will end in a
tie.
