The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I wonder if this is just a matter of how you are thinking about the problem. I'll assume you do have a good understanding of probability, as you've said. Let's think about a typical campaign, using very generalized figures as a basis: * 15 scenarios * A typical scenario length of 15 turns * A typic...

Ah, thanks a lot. Right after I read this I went back and saw the SVN link on the compiling page. The next free time I get I'll go look and start figuring things out. I figured that in the end it would be the rand() function, and I know it generates numbers across the spectrum properly. In response ...

Haha now I feel like whining. You mean I need to go load the binaries and check it myself... that's an interesting point though, now I want to figure out exactly how many attacks I've done this afternoon.

That's sweet! I'm going to go start a game now with a friend, and do a goblin spam vs a zombie/bat spam! Hopefully I'll get a good screenshot and replay.

This discussion is very good, helps me to understand Drakes so much better. I played my second game ever of Wesnoth as the northerners against the drakes, and poison saved me. My opponent got an oracle, and that thing was a pain, but I'd managed to get a level 3 wolf rider so he went and mauled the ...
