Posts from Round table

But it just turns into carelessness instead of carefully considering the battle plan. Plus, I also noticed that (probably due to rounding) the average is slightly higher than the arithmetic mean. I understand that no one will probably want to touch such a fundamental thing, but a checkbox in HW_rules would be great.

But what's the point? Imagine damage ranging from 500-1500. You randomly get 560, 630, 720, while your opponent gets 1350, 1450, 1200. It would be better if everyone had a random range from 800 to 1200, and that would be normal.

Not to mention what an imbalance it would create in single-player.

Sir Mullich. :eek:

Berserk. Nuances of attack and defense. - Did you watch it?

It is known that creatures under the Berserk spell sometimes behave quite strangely, namely: they skip their turn when they could attack. This is because any unit under the Berserk spell can only attack the right (for the attacking side) / left (for the defending side) cell of two-cell units. In the screenshot below, the Champion, who is under Berserk, can attack both the Cavalier and the enemy Champion (the distance to both creatures is the same). The target is chosen randomly. So, if the Champion is chosen, the attack will be made (the right cell of the Champion is available for attack). If the AI chooses the Cavalier, then our Champion will simply skip his turn, because the right cell of the Cavalier is not available for attack in this case (the Champion does not have enough speed). If you remove our second Champion, the skipped turns will disappear (with a 50% probability, the enemy Cavalier will be attacked and even with a decent damage bonus).
Attention! This technique can lead to a battle loop, when 2 units under Berserk remain within reach of each other, but neither unit has enough speed to strike at the "tail" of the other.
