Kuve Posted May 8, 2001 Share Posted May 8, 2001 Sorry if this has been addressed before -- I couldn't find it in the manual or in a forum search... If you select the "Random" choice for troop quality/experience level when generating a Quick Battle, does that mean both sides will get random BUT EQUAL overall quality, or could you end up with one side of all crack troops and the other of conscripts? And if the latter is possible, would the conscript side get more units to make up for the difference? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmead Posted May 8, 2001 Share Posted May 8, 2001 Yes, with lesser experience you would get more troops as they cost less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cos Posted May 8, 2001 Share Posted May 8, 2001 Although conscripts/green will break much easier and alot times doesn't seem worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfpack Posted May 8, 2001 Share Posted May 8, 2001 Yeah, the levels can vary, as My friend and I both experienced. In two QBs, once he got green and I got crack troops, and the next game I got conscript and he got vets. Neither game lasted very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuve Posted May 8, 2001 Author Share Posted May 8, 2001 Thanks, folks. Unfortunately, sounds like it's best to pick a certain level instead of using random. My buddy and I would probably use random for *every* setting if it were there, but we do like to keep the odds balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Petersson Posted May 9, 2001 Share Posted May 9, 2001 Kuve, the point system is designed to make the odds balanced, to some degree. Then it's more a question of equipment, tactics, terrain and mission whether it's best to have many low quality or few high quality troops.

Kuve Posted May 9, 2001 Author Share Posted May 9, 2001 Hey Olle, Thanks for the post. You have shown me that there are differing opinions out there about how balanced the point system keeps things. I guess that means I really should just try a bunch of QBs with the Random setting and see what I prefer. At least I have learned from this thread that CMBO will *try* to keep the odds balanced.
