• Threshold = fewest attackers that win the deterministic encounter against 8 defenders (binary search).
• A-move combat: no kiting or manual control. That's why ranged units struggle against cavalry.
• Measures numbers, not cost: a knight costs far more than a spearman.
• Age IV base stats — no blacksmith upgrades or technologies.
