A program for determining luck/morality in Heroes 3!

invisible (23:28:20 9/08/2008) because morale is the kind of thing where you don't know how much of it you need to fish for
Vitaly (23:28:51 9/08/2008) No
Vitaly (23:30:47 9/08/2008) read
Dirty_Player (21:25:25 9/08/2008) by the way, I wanted to ask you a question that's been on my mind the whole time I was watching the video of the cons[ervatory]
Vitaly (21:25:45 9/08/2008) go on
Dirty_Player (21:26:36 9/08/2008) Why do you first move the unicorn down, then morale hits and you move up??? why all the show-off? he can just strike immediately!!!
Vitaly (21:27:04 9/08/2008) didn't I write to you about this? if I wanted to, I'd write it in the thread
Vitaly (21:27:19 9/08/2008) look, I attacked the conservatory with the Unicorns
Dirty_Player (21:27:23 9/08/2008) yeah
Vitaly (21:27:49 9/08/2008) and I started playing, simply trying to take the conservatory, online, without "generating" anything,
and then those... those... people would come with their "forced" phrases
Vitaly (21:28:01 9/08/2008) and I was simply trying to block the snipers with the unicorn
Vitaly (21:28:19 9/08/2008) and then they got morale
Dirty_Player (21:28:28 9/08/2008) and you decided to strike
Vitaly (21:28:34 9/08/2008) decided, I just decided to strike
Vitaly (21:28:39 9/08/2008) and they blinded [me]
Dirty_Player (21:28:53 9/08/2008) I actually thought so....
Vitaly (21:28:58 9/08/2008) but I think morale wouldn't have triggered otherwise
Vitaly (21:29:10 9/08/2008) I think I checked later - it didn't
Vitaly (21:29:47 9/08/2008) anyway, the first half of the battle went by itself
Vitaly (21:29:52 9/08/2008) without generating
Vitaly (21:29:59 9/08/2008) and then I had to generate
Vitaly (21:30:13 9/08/2008) but the battle map there is unambiguous, I told you about this phenomenon
Vitaly (21:30:21 9/08/2008) when you took the cons[ervatory] with 100 archers
Vitaly (21:30:33 9/08/2008) there you just had to try all the options
Dirty_Player (21:30:38 9/08/2008) I just don't understand HOW you managed it??? You did the conservatory capture in online mode, won, and then recorded it on video.... Meaning you fought the battle twice, one that would take a month to generate!!!!!
Vitaly (21:30:45 9/08/2008) I don't know, it seems to me that delays had nothing to do with it
Vitaly (21:30:51 9/08/2008) 2?
Vitaly (21:30:59 9/08/2008) I did it 10 times
Vitaly (21:31:06 9/08/2008) I recorded this video about 10 times
Dirty_Player (21:31:07 9/08/2008) But that's the thing, I couldn't repeat the battle with 100 marksmen a second time
Vitaly (21:31:16 9/08/2008) I recorded it by playing over again
Dirty_Player (21:31:20 9/08/2008) does everything really repeat????
Vitaly (21:31:24 9/08/2008) so that the duration would be as short as possible
Dirty_Player (21:31:36 9/08/2008) now I get it all!
Vitaly (21:31:36 9/08/2008) exactly, it repeats absolutely fully
Dirty_Player (21:31:41 9/08/2008) understood!!!!
Vitaly (21:31:57 9/08/2008) you see, but I still don't understand what delays have to do with it )
Vitaly (21:32:01 9/08/2008) what it depends on
Vitaly (21:32:05 9/08/2008) probably the OS
Dirty_Player (21:32:09 9/08/2008) when you play at speed with 0 seconds delay, then the video repeats!
Dirty_Player (21:32:14 9/08/2008) OS has nothing to do with it
Vitaly (21:32:40 9/08/2008) no
Vitaly (21:32:47 9/08/2008) I used delays too
Vitaly (21:32:55 9/08/2008) look, I did the first half of the battle
Vitaly (21:33:05 9/08/2008) then I generated the second half
Vitaly (21:33:09 9/08/2008) i.e. I played half the battle
Vitaly (21:33:19 9/08/2008) and then started thinking during the battle where to go
Vitaly (21:33:24 9/08/2008) and did this dozens of times
Vitaly (21:33:41 9/08/2008) so there were delays there
Dirty_Player (21:34:16 9/08/2008) well, you're telling me fairy tales... maybe you just happened to hit the right window by chance?
Vitaly (21:38:31 9/08/2008) no
Vitaly (21:38:37 9/08/2008) I replayed it so many times
Vitaly (21:38:47 9/08/2008) surely something would have gone wrong at least once
Vitaly (21:39:03 9/08/2008) and you're sitting there drinking tea, talking on the phone in the middle of the battle
Vitaly (21:39:07 9/08/2008) there was not a single glitch
Dirty_Player (21:39:26 9/08/2008) damn, this contradicts my understanding of morale in Heroes 3
Vitaly (21:39:35 9/08/2008) agreed
Vitaly (21:39:38 9/08/2008) but that's how it is
Vitaly (21:39:53 9/08/2008) I've already written my observations, read them again
Dirty_Player (21:39:59 9/08/2008) I believe you! But I'm wondering why it's like that
Vitaly (21:40:12 9/08/2008) it turns out that,
apparently under some condition, this "R" is constant
Vitaly (21:40:19 9/08/2008) I know you believe me
Vitaly (21:40:24 9/08/2008) you're just bewildered
Dirty_Player (21:40:42 9/08/2008) exactly
Vitaly (21:41:36 9/08/2008) who's stopping R from being constant
Vitaly (21:41:54 9/08/2008) from a probability standpoint, even an RNG can produce repeating numbers in a row
Dirty_Player (21:41:55 9/08/2008) now that's starting to sound like Heroes 2
Vitaly (21:42:29 9/08/2008) aha
Vitaly (21:42:47 9/08/2008) and I wrote that it's like that in conservatories and internal buildings
Vitaly (21:42:55 9/08/2008) but not always, it seems
Dirty_Player (21:42:57 9/08/2008) that's not true!
Vitaly (21:43:02 9/08/2008) idk what it depends on
Dirty_Player (21:43:12 9/08/2008) internal buildings have nothing to do with it
Dirty_Player (21:43:26 9/08/2008) I was taking the utopia just now. I'm tired of fishing for morale!
Vitaly (23:33:06 9/08/2008) that's it
Vitaly (23:36:23 9/08/2008) understand now? I wasn't fishing for... any morale
invisible (23:36:34 9/08/2008) )
Vitaly (23:36:46 9/08/2008) this word "forced" is already... getting to me
Vitaly (23:37:02 9/08/2008) it just... turns my stomach to hear such words
Vitaly (23:37:21 9/08/2008) as if I sat there for half a month and generated this... gd
invisible (23:37:33 9/08/2008) don't pay attention
Vitaly (23:38:34 9/08/2008) I'm trying... but... inside... damn, clenched my teeth... kept quiet... and now... I'm speaking )
