Swarm bonus should be shown in the attack preview. Like how it influences damage, hit chance, etc...
I believe it is, just not accurately. It seems to show a very small change in predicted damage when you surround and attack an enemy (or I was hallucinating), but doesn't come close to the actual ridiculously high numbers that are done. I haven't tested it much (ranged troops are still better) but my first guess is the damage prediction doesn't know how to compute negative armor values.
Yeah, I believe you are right, it does show change in the predicted damage...even if the display is still bugged. Still i would like to see the swarm bonus separately. Something like: Damage: 5x6-12 plus Swarm Bonus: 5-10 and maybe Surrounding Units: 3.
Just to be able to see how much difference another unit in the swarm makes on one quick glance.
Agreed.
Also, swarm bonus should be countered by opponents swarm bonus.
Thus, if you receive a 3 bonus from having 3 units adjacent to you when you attack, the opponents 2 bonus from having two other units adjacent should counter against your three. 3 minus 2 equals 1. Thus your net swarm bonus should be 1. (numbers are very simple just to get the idea across)
