Bigkahuna and other smart alecs - Let me direct you to this developer-approved thread where you can more easily come to understand the philosophy of this forum (Experimental Corner) and why it was uncouth to direct users to the DIY Luck Complaint thread. http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=29560

It's just because the effect of bad luck is much more than the effect of good luck. Good luck can see your unit gain a few levels. Bad luck can wipe that unit from existence. But a decent play of wesnoth-XP proves that you don't always get bad luck. I currently use Sauron's mod with RNG smoothing of 3 (and no damage split ratio) - so an attack can do 0, 1/3, 2/3, or 3/3 (standard full damage). On some playthroughs enemies only got minimal damage against my loss condition hero a few times in a row, resulting in my loss condition hero not dying and my living to fight another day.

Best regards,
Steven.
