Sean Davis Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I have been playing the game for about 70 hours, and have read most of the available guides. Nowhere have I found a description of the random factor for determining losses in combat. Seems to me that knowing the probability distribution is critical to planning a successful assault. Does anyone know how luck figures into the combat losses formulas at the bottom of page 19? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 It is pretty simple: You can see before a combat the expected losses for you (attacker) and the defender. The real results will only differ by +-1. I.e. you have a chance of 1/3 to get either exactly the expected, a loss of +1 or a loss of -1 to the expected result. Important in tactical combat is to plan the right attack sequence and also take into consideration the actual results of the first combats to change plans/targets if necessary.
