legend42 Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 qb settings all random, 50 times in a row all forces came up all infantry, I think that is quite impossible, could some one please check and confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StellarRat Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 I've gotten Finns the last 3 out of 4 random battles I've played as Axis. Seems a little odd to me too, but I'll track it and see if it's just a lucky or unlucky streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tar Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 Actually, this might make some sense. It is possible that certain seed values for a pseudo random number generator (the computer source of random numbers) can lead to very bad sequences of numbers. In some cases, it is possible to have a seed which ends up always giving you the same number. I don't know how the internals of CMxx are set up, but many programs that use random number generators will seed the number with the current time. If you by some odd coincidence got a bad seed, quitting the game and restarting it would use a different seed (since the time is later) which then fixes the problem.

MikeyD Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 You're not alone. For the longest time I was getting straight infantry Battalions in random Quickbattles. Mighty annoying. Then, magically , it stopped! Now it's giving me all sorts-o-stuff. it's even giving the AI air assets to make my life myserable! I can't explain it.

Subvet Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 I noticed this too. I quit using "random" as an option because it always came up infantry. It's good to know that it only takes a restart to correct this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
