There are two combat models in xconq. The default one is combat-model 0. It
uses tables such as hit-chance where everything is relative, i.e. the
properties of a unit are defined only in relation to other units. A single
round of combat usually inflicts damage on either unit, but does not
necessarily lead to a conclusion. For an example of a game that uses this
model, see advances.g.

The alternative is combat-model 1, where the properties of a unit are
defined as absolute attack and defend values. Every round of combat goes on
until either the attacker or the defender is destroyed. This combat model
is very similar to that of Civ and Civ2. For an example, see 3rd-age.g.

Which one you use is a matter of preference. I think combat-model 1 is
easier to handle, so I would recommend it if you are writing a game from
scratch.
