Order of calculating damage bonuses of the strong trait
With the current order it is possible that the strong trait earns you a 2 insteed of a 1 damage bonus. For instance: a non-strong drake clasher does 7-4 at day while a strong does 9-4 (I have experienced this even more often (but can't remember other examples at the moment), most times in combination with some resistence values or leadership or ToD or other cases with a bit more damage calculation). I think that can be pretty unfair in MP games if you are lucky enough to get the strong trait for the right unit. I think it better be a good idea if trait bonuses were calcuated last not first.

It makes sense and if you search the history of Wesnoth you'll find that damage calculations did change quite a bit until it stabilized on the current system. It has minor flaws (I don't see this as one) but it's rather good.

Re: Order of calculating damage bonuses of the strong trait
Its the same with mermen,calvary and gliders ( and every non-neutral unit which has a melee attack of 2,6,10,14,18 etc damage per strike, except undead ). There are more units which get that extra bonus at level 2 and 3.Baufo wrote:With the current order it is possible that the strong trait earns you a 2 insteed of a 1 damage bonus.

Anyway, as someone metioned before, that isnt a problem cause it balances by itself cause the strong trait also makes the ToD bonus reduce more - a strong clasher deals 2 more damage at day, 1 at dawn/dusk and same damage per strike as a non-strong clasher at night, while a strong drake fighter deals 1 more damage per strike than a non-strong one regardless of the time of day
