Which documentation, and where? I looked through the Colonization manual and only found a footnote "Artillery units list attack/defence strengths, they suffer severe penalties when not inside a fortification". > The pre-combat report specifies a base offense of 7, a bonus under the > colony name of 100% and the attack bonus of 50% for a total of 21.

That too is a surprise. There is a handy utility to make a stack trace in freecol/common/debug/FreeColDebugger/stackTraceToString(), which could tell you why getDefencePower is being called. I would expect it to be quite common during AI turns, but not during a player turn. Cheers, Mike Pope
