Need Help With Ns Board Game Design

Okay, I'm designing an NS board game, but I've run into a problem.

The Damage Simulator can only give me so much information, so I need to know:

1. How much damage Spore does in 10 Seconds.

2. The exact effects of Umbra.

3. The exact effects of Primal Scream.

4. How much does Metabolize heal in 10 Seconds.

5. How much damage Charge does when hitting something for 10 Seconds.

6. How much each evolution costs.


I'm only working on the alien side right now, expect a lot more questions when I do the Marine side.

Edit: Kharra Units, Upgrades, and Weapons are complete.

    A spore cloud lasts six seconds and deals 7 damage every half-second.

    Thanks, I'm getting some good information here.

    If you're wondering about the basic design of the cards used to keep track of each unit, here's a sample:

    Increases damage by 30%.
    Increases energy regeneration rate by 60%.
    Increases rate of fire by 30%.
    Lasts 4 seconds.
    (According to Balance.txt)

    Not correct. First, spores deal 7 damage per half-second, and second, a spore cloud only lasts 6 seconds.

    Sweet. How is this board game going to work? Will it be like Risk? (Risk 2210 best board game ever!) Or like Magic the Gathering style?

    It will be kind of like risk. The board will be divided up into different areas (this was done to make AOE abilities easier to deal with, and so I don't have to worry about speeds), and you can attack anything in your area, and sometimes in other areas.

    Small markers will keep track of units. Each unit is tied to a Unit Card (like the Onos), so you can keep track of Health/Armor/Ammo with other small markers.

    To see if an attack hits, the attacker rolls dice equal to the number indicated by "Attack". To evade the attack, the defender must roll higher with the number of dice indicated by "Defense". Attacks always do full damage.

    The Energy system has been abolished for the sake of simplicity, instead, its just one attack per turn, unless you have Adrenaline or are in Primal Scream.

    Armor now is the same as Health, again, for simplicity (I doubt you want to have to calculate how much damage got passed damage-absorbing armor).

    I'm still deciding if the Kharra should also use a shared Resource pool...

    How much does Regeneration regenerate in 10 seconds at each level?

    Regeneration heals 3% of total health per level, and it occurs at one tick every 2 seconds. So, in ten seconds, you would have:

    10.5/21/31.5 hp for a skulk
    22.5/45/67.5 hp for a gorge
    18.75/37.5/56.25 hp for a lerk
    45/90/135 hp for a fade
    105/210/315 hp for an onos
