Answer me this: If an attacker has a 80 % hit chance and the defender has a 40 % chance to parry. How high is the chance, that the attacker misses 3 conscutive times? Here is a hint: a) About 10 % b) About 2 % c) About 20% d) About 15 % e) About 5 % The answer is at the end. Most negative reviews have their origin from a simple circumstance. Human brains suck at probability assumptions. We do not memorize all the results and we focus on outliers. This happens to all games that use a RNG (Battle Brothers, X-Com, Blood Bowl etc. etc. etc.) "How can it happen, that i miss all the time with an 80 % to hit chance and the AI gets one crit after the other?". The RNG in this game works as intended and you, if you play it smart, will soon have no problem winning same level encounters without a single loss. The games fault is, that it is overloaded with unintuitive and unexplained mechanics (this makes it only 4 stars out of 5). *************** Answer = c) Chance to hit something = 80 % Chance to miss = 20 % Chance to NOT get parried = 60 % Chance to hit the enemy is: 0.8 * 0.6 = 0.48 So the chance to miss is 52 % Chance to miss the three times in a row is: 0.52 * 0.52 * 0.52 = 0.14 In a random encounter with 10 vs 10 there will be a lot of hitting and missing (even though the enemy gets usually just 1 parry.) But 3 misses in a row will happen sometimes in nearly every or every second encounter. So, should you get this game? Only if you neglected EVERY answer and chose: F) For "F" you with your stupid mathematics. I SHALL TAKE MY MIGHTY WAR HAMMER AND SMASH THE HERETIC AND PURGE THE ABOMINATION! FOR THE EMPEROR !! Congratulations, you are a complete nerd and have everything what it takes to master this game.
